트란 오야(Tranøya)

Tranoya is a lovely small island off the coast of Senja. The B&B used to be the Rectory for the lovely old church next door. Wenke the business owner will meet you at a jetty on Senja to take you on the small boat ride over to the island. It is a unique experience, and the accommodation is lovely, great decoration, and great hospitality from Wenke. The food was great. There are walks around the island, and kayak equipment etc for hire. But we just walked and relaxed. Only stayed overnight but would have liked longer! If you’ve been hiking all over the place on your holiday, this is a great place just to relax and take it easy for a few days.

After a 5 min. boat ride you arrive at Tranøya, with a farm dating back to the 16th century. Set in magnificant surroundings, around 40 spelsau (Old Norwegian Short Tail Landrace) grace the outskirts of the farm and church. The hostess Wenche does it all: drives the boat, coocks the good snd tells you stories from hundreda of years back in time. If you’re looking for a silent retreat in beautiful surroundings, with great local food and storytelling, look no further!
