Træna
Freediving and kayaking in Træna - explore the underwater world
Dive below the surface and discover Træna’s beautiful underwater landscapes. In crystal-clear waters, among forests of kelp and sandy seabeds, you’ll encounter vibrant marine life — schools of fish weaving through the kelp, scallops and flatfish resting on the sand, and much more. Whether you want to freedive, snorkel, or paddle between the islands, you’ll find both equipment and experiences available at Kranberget on Husøy.
In the sheltered channels and fishing grounds, the sea teems with life. The seabed shifts from sand dunes hiding large scallops to towering kelp forests where cod and pollock hunt for small fish — a true paradise for divers and paddlers.
The best way to experience this fascinating underwater world is through freediving or snorkeling. Those with some freediving experience can join trips to gather shellfish and crabs by hand, or try spearfishing. More experienced divers might take on the challenge of hunting large halibut, which thrive on the sandy bottoms around the islands. If you prefer to stay closer to the surface, there are also plenty of excellent spots for snorkeling.
Equipment and Rental at Kranberget
Kranberget, Husøy’s oldest fish processing plant, has now become the hub for these activities in Træna. Here, you’ll find changing rooms with showers and all the equipment you need for a memorable time above or below the surface.
The diving suits are open-cell wetsuits, a special type of extra-warm suit designed to keep you warm in the sea year-round. They also help you stay afloat naturally, while a weight belt allows you to dive when you’re ready.
If you’re new to diving, or have never tried freediving or snorkeling with an open-cell wetsuit, it’s recommended to bring an instructor on your first trip. Children must be accompanied by parents. There’s no age limit for freediving, but you must be able to swim and be in good health.
Kayak Rental and Island Adventures
At Kranberget, you can also rent kayaks and explore Træna’s many beautiful islands and hiking destinations. Paddle over to Sanna to hike the Træna Mountains and visit Kirkehelleren, or pack a lunch and enjoy the white sandy beaches of Sandøya.
