Dag Arild Larsen / Basecamp Senja

Basecamp Senja

Basecamp Senja offers accommodation and tailor-made winter experiences for small groups, based beside Bergsfjorden on Senja’s outer coast.

About us

Our base is Posthuset Expedition Lodge in Skaland, a cosy nine-bed lodge situated right on the shore of beautiful Bergsfjorden.

We offer three-day winter expeditions that include accommodation, meals and activities. Senja’s outer coast offers excellent opportunities to see the Northern Lights from spectacular viewpoints along the Norwegian Scenic Route Senja.

We also arrange fjord cruises aboard open Zodiac boats in Bergsfjorden, where you may spot wildlife such as white-tailed eagles and seals. Local food is served during the expeditions, and friendly, experienced hosts and guides accompany our guests.

Our winter expeditions are ideal for adults looking for memorable nature experiences in small groups. Private, tailor-made expeditions are also available on request.

Travelling from Tromsø to Senja

The easiest way to travel from Tromsø is by express boat from Prostneset to Finnsnes. The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, and our expeditions are scheduled around the boat timetable. We meet you at the terminal in Finnsnes and continue by car to Senja’s outer coast.

You can also fly directly from Oslo to Bardufoss with Norwegian. An airport bus operates between Bardufoss Airport and Finnsnes in connection with the flights. We meet you in Finnsnes, and the drive to Senja’s outer coast takes approximately one hour.

You can also explore our five-day Christmas and New Year expeditions, featuring whale watching from Tromsø and dog sledding on Senja. These expeditions are available on selected dates only.
