A Place for Unforgettable Experiences
Midnattsol Opplevelse is a tourist destination beautifully situated right by the quay in Engenes, on Andørja – the most mountainous island in Northern Europe. We offer comfortable accommodation, exciting activities, and facilities for courses, seminars, and celebrations – all with the sea, mountains, and midnight sun as a breathtaking backdrop. Here, you’ll discover the very best of Northern Norwegian nature and hospitality.
Northern Norway’s Hidden Gem – Surrounded by Spectacular Scenery
Midnattsol Opplevelse enjoys a unique location by the harbor in Engenes, Andørja – a true gem in Ibestad municipality. Here, you’ll be welcomed with genuine Northern Norwegian hospitality, surrounded by majestic landscapes, a rich local culture, authentic culinary experiences, and a history worth sharing. We’re also known as Andørja Havfiskesenter, and locals often refer to us simply as Kroa på Engenes.
Andørja is famous for being the most mountainous island in Northern Europe, with 20 peaks rising over 1,000 meters. Combined with its stunning coastline, this creates incredible opportunities for hiking, cycling, sea fishing, and nature adventures. In summer, the midnight sun shines across the landscape, while winter offers a front-row seat to the spectacular northern lights.
