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.

This tour takes you by boat from Sommarøy to the island of Håja, which rises dramatically from the ocean. After a 30-minute boat ride through wild coastal landscapes, we anchor and start the hike.

The trail begins with a steep climb and then becomes easier as we move higher. In about 1.5 hours, we reach the summit at 486 metres, with stunning 360-degree views of fjords, sea and mountains. The summit is especially magical under the midnight sun.

After enjoying the views, we hike back down and cruise back while looking out for sea eagles and marine life. If the full hike feels too challenging, you can stop along the way and enjoy the amazing scenery.
