The island of Andøya Norvege is a pleasant stopover, especially if you stop at Andenes, an island in the Vesteralen archipelago, with several fishing villages located along white beaches. The route connects to Senja, another national tourist route, by ferry. The island has some of the largest marshes in the country. Tourists using this route can also spot some whales and seals in the Norwegian Sea.The lighthouse on Andøya Island is the perfect place to watch the midnight sun. You may also have the opportunity to embark on whale safaris, but we advise you to embark on Senja Island also.

Designed by Danish architects, The Whale museum is located in Andenes on the island of Andøya (Norway), about 300km north of the Arctic Circle. The seaside village welcomes thousands of whale-watching tourists each year, as the nearby deep-water gorge attracts many species of whales to feed. Between June and August, pilot whales, minke whales, and sperm whales can be easily seen in the Andenes sea area. During the colder winter months, humpback and killer whales will pass through the area during their migration. The roof of the museum is designed with a sloping foundation and paved walkway, creating a perfect space for visitors to watch and wait for whales.

It can be said that this place covers all the wonderful scenery of Norway, because nature favors Senja with the completeness of the majestic mountains, the canyons that stretch to the sea, creating beautiful bays and attractive beaches. Splendid "Northern Lights" sleepless nights...

In Senja is the opposite, the life of the spring god and the winter god of death. But spring comes, Senja glows with the most wonderful scenery that is nowhere near as beautiful as in Norway. The flowers are blooming, the spring colors are in full bloom, captivating people's hearts with the flowers of all colors swaying in the blooming wind, the spring weather in Senja makes many visitors shy and surprised.

The white color covers the whole land called "Farewell to each other's tears" as if the two lovers had to part in melancholy tears. The scene was majestic, the mountains were covered with a blanket of white snow, the sea shrank for the "winter goddess" to take the place, giving way to the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of crashing waves. spring whisper. Skiing, adventure, exploring and experiencing winter in Senja is also the most fun thing you will do.
