    Description

    The place offers accommodation and activities in the pristine wilderness at Senja, Norway’s second-largest island. We are located just by the gateway to Ånderdalen National Park in a fjord called Tranoyboten.
    Our purpose is to provide “close to nature”-experiences in a cozy and authentic environment. We are an old camping we’ve started to build up to shine as new. In the summertime, we are camping and in the winter season, we are a Resort.
    We believe that nature is a happy place for great experiences inside as well as outside.
    The place was founded on that single truth. Through our activities and adventures, we’ve brought this to life. Hege, the founder, inspired by her own experiences in the outdoors, sought to merge adventure and transformative experiences with social responsibility and giving back.
    Nature, the sea, our community, and the spirit of adventure are what define the place. Therefore, we believe it is important to operate according to the values of responsible tourism and to give back.
