The island's HI-affiliated youth hostel is a 1.2km walk from the Hurtigruten quay in Stamsund and has its regular clientele who come back year after year – one particularly loyal guest has stayed here over 50 times – so be sure to reserve. It's right beside the water in an old fishing complex.
Roar Justad, the friendly owner, dispenses information about local hiking routes, rents bicycles (from 100kr per day) and lends rowing boats and fishing lines for free.
