After boarding your high-powered RIB-boat, your licensed captain will provide safety gear and instructions. With your adrenaline pumping as you plane atop the sea, you'll soon reach the seal colony located near the Island of Runde. Depending on the season, many seals are present mating, playing, fishing, and of course, sleeping.

With Rundebrandon Mountain as the focal point, a vast number of birds including puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and white-tailed eagles are present.
