Feoy & Rovaer Island By Rib

OVERVIEW

Ride a Rigid Inflatable Boat known as a RIB across the sea to Røvær and Feøy islands while the skipper regales you with entertaining stories. The open-air RIB will offer unobstructed views in all directions, and as you will see the natural beauty of the sparsely populated islands is considerable. Many of the islanders support themselves by sheep farming and fishing for Atlantic herring, a mineral-rich fish that is vitally important to the economy and to the diet of the marine life that inhabits these cold waters. Be sure to keep an eye out for whales, orcas and dolphins, which are often seen breaching the water’s surface as they feed. Sea eagles are also frequently spotted. To enhance your understanding of the islands, the skipper may share stories about the Vikings that lived there more than a millennia ago and the German soldiers that occupied the area during World War II.
