Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The Moose is quite shy and is easily scared back into the woods, but normally they are quite co-operative and allow us to get quite near. We know the habits and life of the moose and where we have the best chances to see them.
Elg - the moose is called Elg in Norway, but the moose is not comparable with the american elk. The elk (cervus canadensis) , however, is an entirely different deer (much smaller).
Largest in Europe - the moose is Europes largest land animal, also the largest member in the deer family. A fully grown bull are over 2 meters high at the shoulders and weighs up to 750 kg (1650 lb). Cows seldom weighs more than 470 kg (1035 lb).
Saltstraumen: The moose safari trip will also include a stop by Saltstraumen, the strongest maelstrom in the world. You can walk the bridge and look down in to the powerful whirlpools.

5.00We went on this moose safari last Thursday and it was incredible! We started out with a little tour of Bodø’s surrounding nature including Saltstraumen while waiting for the moose to come out of the forest. The later it got the more moose we saw and our two guides kept it going although it was most likely way past the normal end time. In total we saw around 30 moose including two babies, a couple of deer and three young foxes. This is probably the coolest thing to do in Bodø, I cannot recommend it enough!
Unforgettable Adventure

5.00What an unforgettable adventure! On our way to a family reunion in Værøy, we met up in Bodø and decided to join a moose safari—five of us signed up, and we’re so glad we did. We saw nearly 20 moose, several deer, four adorable baby foxes, and even a random cow that made us all laugh. Our guide was not only a passionate nature lover but also incredibly knowledgeable, adding depth and excitement to the entire experience. To top it all off, he shared some amazing photos he’d taken during the safari, which made it even more special. If I could give it 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat!
Excellent excursion for nature lovers
