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 Senja Island many years ago when Hege’s husband Stig-Jarle took her to his mother home place Senjahopen north on Senja. Hege felt more at 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. We want guests to feel close to nature, go from high puls to low puls, and listen to the amazing sounds of silence. 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 too us and our team, we will do our very best to help you.

 

Best adventures regard Hege & Stig
