This experience was AMAZING! The people, the place, the world around it, it is honestly an unreal experience. I fully emerged in the life of a ‘lighthousekeeper’ (which coincidentally also is working in a cafe ;). I lived in a room on the property in a beautiful old wooden building, the work was super fair. I loved working in the kitchen, having fun with colleagues and chatting to the guests (which are all super cool). In my free time I explored the surroundings, went on walks. A big big thank you to Anne-Gry, Olena and all the others. Ha det bra!! <3

My three-week volunteer experience at the hotel Lighthouse was absolutely unique and unforgettable. I adored the serene natural surroundings which granted me wonderful inner peace.More precious than the scenery were the friendships I built. It was lovely getting to know colleagues from diverse backgrounds, and saying goodbye was truly difficult. Thanks Olena, Line, Ketja Emal and all the other kind people❤️ I am deeply grateful to my host Anne-Gry.I felt honoured to be her first volunteer of the summer. She is dedicated, optimistic and warm-hearted, and I will always recall her bright laughter!🥰

It was truly a dream come true. Staying at the hotel felt like stepping into another world: peaceful, surrounded by nature, and offering the chance for deep connection and simply being present. I felt fully immersed in Norwegian culture, taking part in several local events that made the experience even richer and more authentic. I was lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights on most nights I was there. Anne-Gry is amazing: kind, caring, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The connections I made are the kind you carry with you for life. This place has truly stayed in my heart.

It was such a pleasure to have Amanda at Tranøy lighthouse; you are lucky if you get her onboard. She is very helpful, she sees the tasks that has to be done, she also works good together with the team. And she is a very good sambra teacher:) I look forward to see her again at some point, do not know when, but I know and want it to happen<3

I had the most amazing 3 weeks living at the hotel. My host Anna-Gry was more than accommodating and really made this my favorite volunteer experience thus far. I was welcomed the moment I arrived and made to feel like apart of a family. The work was very easy and manageable and I had plenty of free time to explore the surrounding area and even took a trip to the Lofoten Islands. The lighthouse and island itself are breathtaking, it felt like something out of a dream. I would be back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for such a unique and memorable experience. I really hope we meet again❤️

Had a beautiful time at the hotel and would highly recommend this experience! I did a mix of housekeeping and restaurant work with clearly set hours. In my free time, I was able to explore the stunning surrounding coastline with views of the mountains and fjord that feel straight out of a postcard! Anne-Gry and the team were all warm and welcoming. Couldn't ask for a better way to experience Northern Norway's landscape and culture!
