In 1918, a lighthouse was built on the fishing village of Myken, far out towards the open sea. It was guarded and cared for by a lighthouse keeper, his wife, their five children — and a cow. In 1975, the lighthouse was automated, and in 2018 it was beautifully renovated by Eventyrlig Oppussing (a Norwegian home renovation TV show). Today, you can stay here and experience the unique atmosphere of having your very own small island on the Helgeland coast.
Between sky and sea, far from the mainland, on Jutøya in the old fishing village of Myken, you'll find Myken Lighthouse. Standing like a final outpost against the vast ocean to the west, it has kept steady watch over the tiny island community for more than a hundred years. Here, you can stay with the whole island practically to yourselves, just a short boat ride across the strait to everything Myken has to offer.

Dive below the surface and discover Træna’s beautiful underwater landscapes. In crystal-clear waters, among forests of kelp and sandy seabeds, you’ll encounter vibrant marine life — schools of fish weaving through the kelp, scallops and flatfish resting on the sand, and much more. Whether you want to freedive, snorkel, or paddle between the islands, you’ll find both equipment and experiences available at Kranberget on Husøy.
In the sheltered channels and fishing grounds, the sea teems with life. The seabed shifts from sand dunes hiding large scallops to towering kelp forests where cod and pollock hunt for small fish — a true paradise for divers and paddlers.
The best way to experience this fascinating underwater world is through freediving or snorkeling. Those with some freediving experience can join trips to gather shellfish and crabs by hand, or try spearfishing. More experienced divers might take on the challenge of hunting large halibut, which thrive on the sandy bottoms around the islands. If you prefer to stay closer to the surface, there are also plenty of excellent spots for snorkeling.
Try freediving – book an introduction.
