Andøya is where the wild and the accessible meet

Strategically placed along the north Norwegian coast, Andøya is a 57km long and 15km wide island situated north of the Lofoten archipelago. Andøya is uniquely suited to host an incredibly rich bird and wildlife population. A wide variety of habitats, from vast marshlands to shallow coastal waters, deep oceans, and high mountain peaks, make this island one of Norway’s finest wildlife destinations!

The avid birder, enthusiastic whale watcher, or binocular-wearing mountain hiker can easily spend days or even weeks exploring by car, foot, bicycle, kayak, and more. Andøya feels remote and wild, yet it is easily accessible. Traveling around Andøya is convenient, and you can easily choose your own level of difficulty or adventure. Explore the mountains to see Golden Eagles and Ptarmigans.

Drive or bicycle through the cultivated farmlands of Andøya’s east coast, where huge numbers of geese feed and rest during their south and northbound migrations. Bring your family and stay at any of the lodges or campsites situated in the middle of habitats teeming with life. Go whale watching with professional guides or explore the waters around Andøya.
