At the edge of the sea in Vesterålen lies Andenes – a small place with big nature experiences. Here, you can get close to whales, seabirds and the ocean, with the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter.
With Widerøe you can fly directly to Andenes from Bodø Airport, Tromsø (Langnes), and Harstad and Narvik. From Andenes, you can travel to Bergen (Flesland), Trondheim (Værnes) and Alta – with just one stop.
Andenes offers experiences you will not find in many other places. Join a whale safari with a very good chance of spotting orcas, sperm whales and humpback whales – and you will even get your money back if no whales appear. Just offshore, you will also find rich bird cliffs where puffins, auks and storm petrels come right up close. The nutrient-rich sea brings life to the coast all year round.
Walk along the long sandy beaches towards Bleik or explore the island by bike. Many visitors try their luck fishing, paddle a kayak on the open sea, or head inland to pick cloudberries in the vast wetlands.
At Andøya Space Centre, research rockets are launched, giving you a glimpse of space from the ground. At the same time, you can experience nature’s own light shows – the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer.
