Explore the dramatic scenery of Senja Island on this summer break in Northern Norway. Senja is located south-west of Tromso, high above the Arctic Circle and is the second largest island in Norway. Home to some amazing landscapes, it provides a ideal setting for adventures under the midnight sun.
Hamn i Senja provides the base for this wild family self-drive under the midnight sun. With a car at your disposal, you choose how to spend the long days on this stunningly scenic island.
Kayaking, hiking, cycling? A boat trip in search of wildlife is a must. But how about taking a dip, Arctic style!? Or maybe admiring the view towards idyllic Bergsfjord from the relaxing hot tubs is more appealing. Be sure to drive the National Scenic Route Senja and be blown away by the dramatic vistas – towering peaks and pristine white sand beaches ensure this is selfie heaven. An overnight in Tromso offers a cultural interlude, or perhaps retail therapy.
