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.
