About us

Hege , the founder, inspired by her own experiences in the outdoors, sought to merge adventure and transformative experiences with social responsibility, accommodation and giving back to community and nature, fell in love with this Island many years ago when her husband Stig-Jarle took her to his mother home place Senjahopen north on Senja. She felt more home on Senja Island and related to the nature, people and culture here.

In 2017 Hege and Stig Jarle packed their bags and moved to Senja together with their three children to fulfill the dream. They saw the potential and bought this forgotten place. The dream is to create unforgettable experiences from the most wonderful place on Earth. 1 of may 2017 Norwegian Wild was born and the wild adventure began!

Thank you so much for visiting us and Senja. We cannot thank you enough

Don’t hesitate to ask questions to us and our team, we will do our very best to help you

Best adventures regards Hege & Stig

WE ARE LOCATED AT THE GATEWAY TO
ÅNDERDALEN NATIONAL PARK

Ånderdalen national park on Senja preserves a diverse North-Norwegian coastal landscape of 125km². Parts of the forest dates back 600 years and remains of old settlements show us this area played an important role for the inhabitans since the stone age. The varying terrain of soothing rivers and lush woodland provides a rich and peaceful wildlife protected by majestic mountains.
