Who we are
The three of us
A family business on the shore at Klakksjorda. You book with us directly, you meet us at the reception, and one of us takes you out.
Henrik · Host
Runs the houses and the kitchen, builds our systems and drives the tractor now and then.
Shirley · Operations and guide
Bookings, guest messages, invoices and guiding — she usually knows what is needed before anyone asks.
Ian · Lead guide
Over 20 years of guiding: wildlife, weather, the landscape and the northern lights.
We speak English, German, Dutch and Norwegian.
Where we are
On the wild coast of Vesterålen
Vesterålen sits just north of Lofoten — the same dramatic Arctic scenery, far fewer tourists. We are in Bø, on the outer coast of the island of Langøya, with the open ocean on our doorstep.
