Håja Island Summit Tour with Transfer
1950 NOK
per person
Cross the open sea by boat and hike to the summit of Håja, the icon mountain island that inspired the design of the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø.
General information
This tour is operated by Sommarøy Adventure.
Join the Arctic Route bus for a scenic trip to Sommarøy, a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. From Sommarøy, we take you by boat to Håja, a mountain island rising dramatically from the sea.
After a 30-minute boat ride through wild coastal landscapes, we anchor up and start the hike. The trail begins with a steep ascent, but becomes easier as we move higher up in the terrain. After approximately 1.5 hours, we reach the summit at 486 metres, where you can enjoy fantastic 360-degree views of fjords, sea and mountains. Under the midnight sun, the view is extra special.
After taking in the views, we hike back down and return by boat, keeping an eye out for sea eagles and marine wildlife along the way. If the full hike feels too challenging, you can stop along the way and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
