Glomfjord
You are invited to join Meløy Adventure on a RIB sea-rafting adventure to the island of Rødøya and Rødøyløva (443 m). Other great options include a sea-rafting safari to the remote island of Myken with a tour of its whiskey distillery. These excursions start from Ørnes in Meløy municipality – but for your convenience you can request to be picked up elsewhere en route.
On Meløy Adventure’s RIB sea-rafting trips, you speed across the waves to unique scenic and cultural gems on the Helgeland coast. Join us, for instance, on an excursion to Rødøya with a summit hike up Rødøyløva or come visit Myken Distillery.
The RIB sea-rafting adventures from Ørnes are fast paced, and you can quickly arrive at one of the amazing hiking destinations on the Helgeland coast. We lend all participants a thermal flotation suit, so you will be snug and warm in any kind of weather.
Sea rafting to Rødøya – and a summit hike up Rødøyløva
This sea-rafting adventure also includes a hike to the top of Rødøyløva and optional dining at Klokkergården, the old sexton’s residence. If you prefer, you can choose a more relaxing alternative to the summit hike, such as a walk on one of island’s chalk-white sand beaches, a family visit to Bamsehuset, Norway’s only teddy bear museum, or a walk with your children into the magical fairytale forest, Eventyrskogen.
The summit of Rødøyløva (443 m) offers a stunning panorama of the thousands of islands, islets and skerries that dot the surrounding waters. In clear weather, you can see the jagged peaks of the Lofoten Islands far to the north and the Vega archipelago to the south.
Day excursion to Myken
Myken is a small fishing community far from the mainland. Although today Myken has only twelve year-round residents, it’s a great place to experience the islanders’ heritage and culture. We’ll visit the world’s first Arctic whiskey distillery and perhaps taste the result of the master distiller’s craft. Hungry? You can buy a waffle at the local shop or enjoy dining at one of the island’s two restaurants.
