General information

We provide a complete and exclusive package for small groups – from the moment we pick you up at your doorstep in Tromsø until you check into our own beach house at Bøvær. Your only task is to experience the complete Senja adventure.

Book individual services, a ready-made package tour, or customise your own adventure.

1. Accommodation: Magical Bøvær
We offer two unique places to stay, located directly on the iconic sandy beach of Bøvær, with panoramic views of the Bergsfjord.

Liv’s Beach House (groups of up to 6 people): A spacious house with three bedrooms. Perfect for families or groups of friends looking for an authentic base by the sea.

Magical Beach Home (couples / 2 people): An exclusive unit with large glass windows. Here, you can lie in bed and watch the Northern Lights dance or the midnight sun reflect in the fjord.

2. Transport: Personal Transfer (Tromsø ↔ Senja)

We make the journey from Tromsø part of the experience. You will be picked up at your preferred address in a private car, and we will include photo stops at the most beautiful viewpoints. We will, of course, stop for grocery shopping along the way if you wish.

3. Experiences: From Deep Fjords to the Open Ocean

Our activities can be booked separately or included as part of your stay:

Boat Sightseeing in the Bergsfjord: Join us on the crystal-clear fjord, rich in islands and wildlife. We visit Færøya and can dock at Hamn i Senja for a meal in idyllic surroundings.

Sea Fishing on Yttersia: For those seeking excitement, we take the boat out to the rich fishing grounds on the outer side of Senja. Here, we target halibut, cod, and saithe in magnificent surroundings.

Sightseeing by Car: A guided tour along the National Scenic Route. We visit spectacular spots such as Ersfjordstranda, Tungeneset, and Magasuget, accompanied by local stories.
