Neighborhood info
The charm of this place is that it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. We have a few buses each weekday going to and from Tromsø and Sommerøya.
The nearest grocery store is a 20-minute drive, so make sure you bring enough food!
Because we cannot offer transportation for guests, we advise to rent a car to explore the island in all freedom or plan your trip in advance in the Svipper app.
