Here you can do everything from simple walks on the nearby islands, easy kayak paddling, deep sea fishing, dive in the Arctic waters, beachcomb along the sandy white beaches, enjoy the Northern Lights or the midnight sun from the hot tub, to more spectacular treks and activities.
With the most amazing viewpoints and coastal photo spots in Norway, get your camera and outdoor gear ready for this short 4-day break, full of incredible adventures.
