Whale Safari

The Whale Safari is just 15 minutes from Stave, and attracts people from all over the world. All summer long Stave Camping is filled with people just like you who have journeyed to the far north for the exact same reason – to meet Moby Dick in the waters off Andøya.

Over the past 25 years, thousands of adventurous whale watchers have stayed at Stave while waiting to get out on safari – and taken home unforgettable memories of soaking in the Hot Pools , camping under the midnight sun, spectacular walking on the Stave Coastal trail, beach saunas, and new friendships with  fellow travellers from all over the world who have also come to see the whales.

Stave offers clean, budget priced cabins and apartments for adventure travelers – and the best beach camping in all of Vesterålen. But to understand why so many adventure travelers choose to stay at Stave, you need to know a couple things:

• Often it takes a few days get out on the Whale Safari – because of wind, weather, or ocean conditions. And if you are going to spend a couple of days on our island, Stave is the best place to stay. Here’s why:
• Stave enjoys the best weather micro-climate on the whole island of Andøya.  The Coastal Mountains to the north  protect Stave from both the coastal fog and the strongest north winds.  This means it can be cold, grey and foggy for days at a time in Andenes – and all the while, it is sunny and beautiful in Stave.
• When you stay at Stave, the Stave Coastal Trail,  Skogvoll Nature Reserve, Stave Beach, and the wild beauty of Andøya’s west coast are all right outside your door. Rent a bikes and explore the coast, or rent  kayak for an afternoon of exploration. Take a walk and discover your own secret beach. Spend an evening soaking in one of our steaming 38 degree Hot Pools.  And after your big adventure on the ocean chasing Moby Dick, get warm to the bones in our fabulous Beach Sauna.
