Every six hours, nature puts on a spectacular show. Millions of cubic metres of water are forced through the narrow strait between the Saltenfjord and the Skjerstadfjord, creating powerful currents and impressive whirlpools. Saltstraumen has fascinated people for centuries – from Vikings and fishermen to modern-day adventurers.

For visitors, Saltstraumen is much more than a scenic viewpoint – it’s an experience. Watch the immense forces of nature safely from the shore, join a RIB safari to feel the power of the current firsthand, or try your luck fishing in one of the world’s richest cod fishing areas. The surrounding landscape also offers excellent hiking opportunities, abundant wildlife and a rich cultural history.

Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-filled adventure or simply want to enjoy the dramatic scenery, Saltstraumen is a place you won’t want to miss when visiting Northern Norway.
