About the Wildlife Safari
The wildlife safari starts from Nyksund and/or Stø and will bring you to the bird-island Anda. From the boat you will see the animals up close.
The boat will also stop by seal shards where the seals often relax on the rocky ground. It is not unusual to see also different kinds of whales on the tour, such as killer whales, but that is regarded as a bonus on this tour.
The harbor seals grow from 140 to 155 cm long and is between 67 and 105 kg. The males slightly larger than the females. The harbor seals have an almost cat-like head shape. The color patterns in the fur can vary widely, from light gray to almost black. They are usually grey-brown with darker, irregular spots on a lighter background.
