Enter the world of the mythical midnight sun that inspires awe in all who witness it. Soak up the peace and stillness while watching the sun almost dipping below the horizon before it starts to rise again. Waves of turquoise blue water gently wash the golden beaches of Gimsøya island. The water here can be a brilliant color on a calm summer day, so you could quickly think you're someplace a bit more tropical – until you dare to go for a swim! Another highly rated thing to da at Gimsøya is Hoven. With a height of only 368 meters and a gentle ascent, it is one of the most accessible 'mountain' hikes on the Lofoten Islands. The summit rewards you with impressive 360° views.
