Directions

Vannøya is located at the far end of the ocean gap at 70 degrees north, just a short drive from Tromsø. About 750 people live on Vannøya, and many of them make their living from the fishing industry, which has been a tradition for many years.

On Vannøya, you’ll get away from the hustle and bustle of the city – already on the drive out, you’ll lower your shoulders and enjoy the beautiful coastline along Kvaløya and Ringvassøya until you reach Hansnes ferry quay.
