Famously known as the "Treasure Island", Runde Island is home to around 150 regular inhabitants but gets crowded with more than 5,00,000 birds during the nesting season from April to August. The area comes into a protected site so there are some rules to follow while exploring this beautiful bird sanctuary.
During the summer season, a number of guided boat tours are available that take you close to the birds and let you observe these beauties in their natural habitat. To get the best view of colonies of birds, hike up the mountain along designated paths and experience something ethereal.
