Wild Moose Safari
Prices from
2255 NOK
per person
Embark on an Arctic adventure and meet the majestic King of the Forest: The Wild Moose! The Bardufoss region is home to one of the largest populations of Europe's biggest land animals, and your guide will lead you on an exciting safari in search of these incredible creatures. Lunch is included.
General information
Your journey begins at Rundhaug Gjestegård, a historic wooden hotel nestled at the edge of the wilderness. Before setting out, your guide will give a safety briefing, and provide fascinating insights into the local culture, moose behavior, and the tradition of moose hunting. We'll drive to prime viewing spots where you're most likely to encounter these gentle giants while ensuring we keep a respectful distance to avoid disturbing them, especially in parts of the season where they are extra vulnerable.
During the safari, you’ll explore the forest to track moose prints and visit an authentic Hunter's Hut. We hike on snowshoes or on foot, depending on the snow conditions. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy lunch outdoors, surrounded by nature. If you're fortunate, you may also spot other Arctic wildlife along the way. Please note that moose sightings cannot be guaranteed as these are wild animals, but this adds to the thrill of the experience!
The Bardufoss region's calm, clear winter weather creates ideal conditions for moose safaris. The area boasts a large moose population, and winter in the beautiful Målselv Valley often brings countless encounters with these fascinating giants.
