Seiland is divided into a northern and a southern part, where the northern part offers boat access to Hammerfest, and the southern part connects to Alta. Seiland National Park covers more than half of the island, including mainland Europe's two northernmost glaciers. The park is a haven to untouched nature, making it Northern Europe's most inaccessible national park. The island offers a diverse range of plant life and animal life, thanks to the low human impact.
Hønsøybotn lays on the northern part of the island, where you'll find a local shop with a petrol station, as well as services for rudder and boat rental. You can find various activities across the island, including guided tours, farm visits and great opportunities to experience Sami culture. You can also find Seiland Explore, which is based in Hønsøybotn. They provide accommodation and numerous island activities. If you want to learn more about the island's war history, rent a boat or get a guided boat tour, they can provide you with this.
