The local experience
Andenes lighthouse is a cast-iron tower painted red beside the village harbour, at the northern tip of Andøya. The structure helps identify the coastline profile and reflects the area's connection to navigation and fishing.
Bleik is a village on the western coast of Andøya, with houses close to the sandy strip and surrounding mountains. The visit combines a walk through the inhabited core and observation of the beach, without relying on an activity at sea.
The Andøymuseet is located by the harbour of Andenes and presents stories related to life in northern Norway. The exhibition about Hilmar Nøis’s trajectory lets you learn about the work and experience of someone who lived in polar regions. The visit takes place in the museum building, separate from the lighthouse climb.
