A road trip for the active family

Toft Bryggehotell

If you're heading to the beautiful Helgeland coast, you’ll find yourself in the heart of one of Norway’s most important industries. Along the shoreline of Toftsundet, you'll find the Norwegian Aquaculture Centre — right in the middle of salmon country. Here, you can experience the life of the salmon up close. The demonstration facility is easily accessible from land, located right next to the seaside cabins, an indoor historical exhibition, and the on-site restaurant. It’s a great place to stay by the sea, create lasting holiday memories, and enjoy the fresh sea air. Rorbu cabins Just outside Brønnøysund, on the island of Torget, lies Toft — 7 km from the town centre. Close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like you're truly in the coastal archipelago. When you reach Toft, you're already halfway to the famous Torghatten mountain. Many choose to stay here, not only for the scenic location of the new rorbuer right on the water’s edge, but also because it offers easy access to hiking, shoreline walks, fishing trips — and a chance to learn how modern salmon farming works.
