A sea eagle safari in Ålesund is one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences in Western Norway. The coastline and archipelago around Ålesund are home to the white‑tailed sea eagle — Europe’s largest bird of prey — along with seals and rich marine life. Norway holds Europe’s largest population of white-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla), with roughly 2,500 breeding pairs. These massive birds of prey, with wingspans up to 2.65 meters, were protected in 1968 and have since recovered to saturation points in some coastal areas, aiding reintroduction efforts in Ireland and Scotland
