Tranøy is located quite literally at the end of the road, at the northern tip of Hamarøy. Just 3 kilometers from Tranøy Lighthouse, you’ll find the small village of Tranøy—a place that evokes a deep sense of nostalgia. Set in picturesque surroundings, you can wander among the historic, dignified houses that reflect the prosperity of bygone days.

At Tranøy Lighthouse itself, there are plenty of activities to enjoy. You can try stand-up paddleboarding, go fishing, or simply unwind and take in the breathtaking surroundings. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Tranøy has something to offer for everyone.

Reaching Tranøy Lighthouse is fairly easy, with good transport connections by ferry or bus from Bodø. The lighthouse is connected to the mainland by a bridge and is easily accessible for everyone.

Rules

In the low season there is a good chance you will be staying alone on the island. I will never be far away since I live in a town 15 minutes away. Still it is good to be comfortable with being alone for some time.

The weather can be unpredictable and quite harsh, so I'm looking for people who are up for whatever nature brings. Sometimes we have storms other times we have beautiful sun, please only apply if you are up for both and maybe even find this exciting.
