Most visitors drive and often use a ferry connection in the region (timings vary by season), then continue by road along the fjord toward Nord-Lenangen.

It’s a small village, so services are limited. Plan groceries and essentials in advance and expect a quiet, rural feel.

Layered clothing, a windproof and waterproof jacket, sturdy shoes, and warm layers even in summer—weather can shift quickly by the fjord.
