Read the practical information below
Follow the cultural trail to chapels, cafés, and museums on the island of Husøya.
See artwork, hear music, and taste local foods as you explore on foot.
Take in spectacular views across the islands and reefs of Træna.
Choose to explore more by yourself on one of the island’s many paths, or take a dip in the Arctic.
From the quay, your guide will lead you to the Water Tower for breathtaking views across Træna and the Helgeland coast. Look out for scenes that offer a glimpse into everyday island life, from stockfish drying beneath roof ridges to fishermen chatting outside local shops.
Next, admire the artwork inside the Peter Dass Chapel, a memorial to all those who fought and disappeared at sea. Nearby, a sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Anawana Haloba reflects Træna’s nearly 9,000 years of history and is accompanied by a specially composed soundtrack.
After enjoying coffee, a snack, and local storytelling at Aloha Café, take the opportunity to browse for souvenirs at Malins Krambu before continuing to the Helgeland Museum, museum garden, church, and tourist information center. Your tour concludes with a traditional fish cake and beer at Havfolkets Hus, a popular waterfront pub and restaurant loved by locals.
