Tranoya, Senja

Introduction

Just a short boat ride from Senja’s south coast, this stunning island offers a scenic and tranquil escape in nature.

Tranoya is home to an idyllic old vicarage farm offering basic, but comfortable accommodation. There are rooms with and without private facilities.

This family-run retreat serves mouth watering meals prepared from local ingredients, some from the island itself. In the afternoon relax with a hot drink and tasty Norwegian waffles.

Although the island is small, at just 1.18 km², there is plenty to do: visit the historic wooden church, the Viking-age graves and boathouse remains; or take a hike around the island, go paddle boarding or kayaking, try your luck with fishing or just relax in a hammock with a good book.

Senja has many hidden gems and the island of Tranøya is certainly one of the best.
