Join Day @ Sea on a four hour boat trip to the maritime engineering marble Skomvær Lighthouse. The boat-trip goes through what has been one of the worlds biggest seabird colonies. We step ashore at the lighthouse if the sea is calm enough to do so safely. You will get a guided tour round the island and hear the story about the construction and the life on the lighthouse.
