Only two hours by express boat from Harstad you can visit Senja - the fairytale island.
The express boat from Harstad will bring you to the city of Finnsnes in only two hours, or use the opportunity to drive through the beautiful landscape for three hours to get to your destination.
We greatly recommend exploring Senja by e-bike - and renting one of the fully suspended e-bikes in Harstad is the perfect start to your adventure. The e-bikes can be brought along on the express boat, so there is no need to worry!
Senja's landscape is stunning - with mountains high, fjords deep and great adventures you have to make sure you don't get too dizzy from turning and looking around too much! We recommend visiting the Ånderdalen National Park or the Sami museum in Kaperdalen. Driving the national tourist road along the outer coast by car will surely provide with either one or more spectacular viewpoints along the way.
Make a stop at one of the many cosy diners along the way and stop to chat with the local people. They will surely tell you about the hiddem gems in the region, and some of the things you absolutely have to see and experience.
Return to Harstad in the afternoon by express boat again, and arrive just in time to have a nice dinner at one of the many restaurants in Harstad - and enjoy a nice night of sleep in the numerous hotels in the city centre - or right outside the city in one of the historic venues.
