Nes · Vega · just south of the Arctic Circle
Four rorbu cabins on stilts over the sea at Nes, in the Vegaøyan World Heritage area. People here have lived from the sea, the eider ducks and the land for more than a thousand years, and the sea still sets the pace of the day.
Fish from the boat in the morning, paddle to an empty cove in the afternoon, and sit on the dock as the midnight sun or the northern lights take over the sky.
Each unit has its own kitchen or kitchenette and its own entrance. Rent all four and there is room for up to 22 people, with a shared dock, hot tub and long table by the water.

Thousands of migrating birds return, the eider ducks nest and the light comes back fast. Quiet days and good fishing.
Midnight sun, kayaking in clear water, swimming and long evenings on the dock. Everything on the island is open May to September.
Autumn storms from the sea, good catches and the first northern-lights nights. Cosy evenings and seafood after a day outside.
Silence, polar-night light and northern lights over the skerries. Much on the island is closed, so stock up before you come – in return you have Vega almost to yourself.
Aluminium boat with full technical equipment for fishing trips and island hopping. The fishing grounds are a short ride from the dock.
Sea kayaks for calm mornings and long summer evenings among the islands and beaches around Vega.
Bikes for the quiet roads across Vega – to the World Heritage centre, the beaches and the mountain trails.
Vegaøyan is on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its thousand-year tradition of eider ducks and eiderdown. More than 6,500 islands, islets and skerries surround Vega, and the island's mountains look out over the whole archipelago.
Vega lies on the Helgeland coast in Nordland. You get here by car ferry or express boat from the Brønnøysund area. The nearest airport is Brønnøysund. There is parking right outside the rorbuer.
We are three siblings who took over the rorbuer together in autumn 2026. They were previously run as Vega Opplevelsesreiser, and we are carrying on the tradition of fishing and nature holidays at Nes.
We are happy to share tips on fishing spots, hikes and island hopping. You book directly with us – no middleman.
