Bodo

Bodo shore excursions with Bakadi Dreams introduce a Norwegian town shaped by wartime history and wild coastline. Indeed, the port lies just above the Arctic Circle. Moreover, the town centre is compact, so a short call ashore is enough for a rewarding visit.

History by the Arctic Circle

Bodo was largely destroyed in 1940 and rebuilt after the war, which still shapes its townscape today. The war history museum tells that story with original exhibits. Above all, a guided walk through the centre puts the pieces together. Nearby, the Saltstraumen tidal current is among the strongest in the world.

Good to Know

Distances in Bodo are short and the streets are easy to walk. Therefore, the tour suits guests who prefer a calm pace. Finally, we always plan a punctual return to your ship.

Bodo is part of our Norway shore excursions.

Above the Arctic Circle

Bodo lies just north of the Arctic Circle on the exposed Norwegian coast. Indeed, the town looks out towards the Lofoten islands across open water. In summer the midnight sun keeps the sky bright through the night, while winter brings long darkness and the chance of northern lights. Above all, the setting between mountains and sea gives the town its character.

Nearby Saltstraumen

A short distance from the centre lies Saltstraumen, among the strongest tidal currents in the world. Four hundred million cubic metres of water force through a narrow strait four times a day. As a result, whirlpools form that draw visitors and sea birds alike. Moreover, the surrounding coast is a favourite with anglers and photographers.
