In Pact with Arctic Nature.

We approach our work with respect to ensure we are taking care of our Arctic playground, as vulnerable as it is.

The raw landscape we live in evokes powerful emotions. We are priviliged to work in such a stunning yet fragile environment. The archipelago around Sommarøy is wild and unique, ranging from steep mountains and sheer cliffs plunging into the ocean, to sandy white beaches and marine wildlife. These are some of the unique highlights of the Arctic north. From a sea kayak we become one with nature, experiencing the landscape and wildlife up close.

One of the most majestic sights is the sea eagle, which on certain days soars high above us. We also encounter otters, seals, and porpoises, to name a few. The diversity of seabirds and plant life here is remarkable, enriching our everyday adventures. To survive and thrive in the Arctic, plants and animals must adapt in both behaviour and seasonal rhythms, making this ecosystem both unique and beautiful, yet increasingly vulnerable in a time of climate change.

To avoid putting additional pressure on already vulnerable wildlife, we strive to minimise our footprint every day. Preserving this fragile Arctic environment for future generations is a responsibility we take seriously. We hope that you, as our guest, will keep this in mind when visiting our beautiful Arctic paradise.

Guided Sea Kayaking at Sommarøy

Where some thrive among two meter waves, others find their inner calm in protected, crystal-clear waters. Thankfully, life out here by the ocean has something for everyone. We adjust our levels of activity to our guests and groups to make sure we are operating within safe and responsible limits while delivering the best possible experience. This is what we believe creates joy being on the water and lifelong memories.

Experience the breathtaking beauty of our island in every season. Explore on foot along sandy beaches and winding roads, or lace up your hiking boots to discover scenic trails leading to iconic peaks such as Nordkollen on Hillesøya, Håja (only available with boat), and Ørnfløya. From above, enjoy panoramic views of Senja’s dramatic mountains, sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and scattered islands. Breathe in the crisp, fresh air and embrace the healthy outdoor lifestyle that only nature can offer. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, the island offers plenty of opportunities for both short and longer hikes.
