Hey Guys,
Im going to start a 7 days bikepacking tour to Senja in August. Start and end point is Tromso. Id like to wild camp, explore as much as possible and make some hikes too. Are there members with experience or some tips and recommendation?
Thx
Hi Sebastian,
You have a Fantastic trip ahead of you! Another member has just finished a lovely loop of the island and Tromsø. He sent me his Strava info.
Perhaps you want to get in touch with him?

Senja and Kvaløya are reasonably easy to wildcamp. The beaches are great to camp by. The most famous is Ersfjordstranda which has camping spots on the grass behind the beach. There is also a public toilet which you can’t miss! http://www.nasjonaleturistveger.no/en/routes/senja/ersfjordstranda/
