The magic of Senja
Senja is often nicknamed “a Norway in miniature”. On this tour, you will pass through many of the different types of wilderness and landscapes Norway has to offer. It is home to deep fjords, steep mountains, white beaches and a strong fishing culture. You will follow one of Norway’s 18 National Scenic Routes on the western outskirts of Senja. Photo stop at the scenic Ersfjord beach surrounded by majestic mountains and “decorated” with the gradually world-famous ‘Golden Toilet’.
Local lunch at historical Hamn Resort
In the Storbrygga restaurant at former fishing station Hamn in Senja from the 1880's, you can enjoy a traditional local fish soup including 2 small tastings accompanied by a fabulous view of the locals’ favorite mountain Sukkertoppen and the harbor. If the weather allows it, you can enjoy lunch in the maritime atmosphere outdoors on the quay itself. Just relax and take it all in.
