Saltstraumen


In the middle of the "land of the midnight sun", about 30 km from the town of Bodø, you find Saltstraumen. You can easily get here by plane, train, boat or car.

We will be happy to arrange pick up at the airport when necessary:

The tidal current in Saltstraumen is created when the tidal tries to fill the Skjerstad fjord and the water increases its speed up to 22 knots or 40 km per hour when 400 million m3 of sea water passes through this 150 meter wide and 3 km long passage.

It looks like a very strong river - running both ways!
