Senja Moments Tranøya

On the island there is beautiful nature and bustling wildlife. You will experience good hiking opportunities, both along well-trodden paths or in the countryside. You can also meet a flock of spelled sheep, which roam freely on the island and make sure to keep the cultural landscape alive.

We pick you up at the quay at Refsnes and shuttle you over to Tranøya by boat. The boat trip takes about 5 minutes and we have all the equipment needed for the crossing. Maybe we see eagles and other seabirds and animals during the crossing. On the island we follow the road on foot from the quay and up to the farm, the trip takes about 5 minutes. If you need extra luggage handling, just let us know.
