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.

Accommodation & Facilities – A Base for Every Occasion

We offer fully equipped self-catering apartments with modern amenities and ocean views – perfect for families, groups of friends, work teams on a retreat, or couples seeking a cozy base during their stay on Andørja. Our café and restaurant serve up delicious local dishes, while our modern seminar facilities are designed for both small and large groups, ideal for hosting courses, seminars, and private events.

The main building was completed in the early 2000s and has since been a popular meeting point for both locals and visitors. Over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings to create unforgettable experiences for our guests – whether you’re looking to relax by the sea, explore the mountains, or bring people together for a special occasion. We’re flexible, open to new ideas, and committed to crafting unique and memorable stays in the heart of Northern Norway’s stunning nature.

Adventures and Nature Experiences – Your Journey Starts Here

Engenes is a perfect destination for outdoor adventures. We offer boat rentals for fishing and excursions, access to breathtaking hiking trails, and bicycle rentals for those who want to explore the island on two wheels. Historically, Engenes was the hub of the Tour de Andørja, which helped inspire today’s Arctic Race of Norway.

We take great pride in our history and deep connection to the region, and we are dedicated to preserving the spirit of true Northern Norwegian hospitality. With the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter, we create magical moments all year round – always in an atmosphere of authenticity and warmth. We look forward to welcoming you and giving you an experience you’ll never forget!
