Explore Brandasund
In Brandasund, the calm sound and the open sea are never far apart. You can take a short hike to a viewpoint, join a boat trip, paddle between the islands or spend time exploring the coastal setting and its history.
Some experiences can be enjoyed independently. Others require a boat, local knowledge or an arrangement with a provider. Always check the weather, sea conditions and current information before setting out.
Brandasundsåta
Brandasundsåta is an easily accessible viewpoint near the village. The walk begins in open, easy terrain before becoming steeper, with steps towards the summit. From the top there are views across Brandasund, the islands and the sea.
Slåtterøy Lighthouse
Slåtterøy Lighthouse has guided vessels towards Selbjørnsfjorden since 1859. The lighthouse station stands on an island north of Brandasund and forms part of the area’s maritime history. A visit requires a boat and must be arranged through a current local service.
Utslåttøy
On Utslåttøy, the sea has shaped ravines, rock fissures and unusual formations. A small lagoon lies inside the island. The island can only be reached by boat, and a visit should be made with local knowledge and conditions that allow safe travel.
On the sea
The archipelago around Brandasund can be explored by kayak, small boat or an organised RIB trip. Local providers may also arrange guided trips and adapt the experience to the weather and participants.
Hiking and cycling
The road from Svortland to Brandasund passes through varied coastal scenery with bridges, narrow stretches and views over the archipelago. On Goddo there are several hiking destinations, including the Kurebu day-trip cabin.
Take care of the place
Show consideration for residents, animals, nature and private property. Take your rubbish with you, use established paths where possible, and respect local signs and guidance. At sea, a life jacket and responsible planning should be a natural part of every trip.
