Glide by private boat to the wind-swept island of Selja, home to Norway's oldest monastery ruins and the cave-shrine of St. Sunniva. A bucket-list blend of Norse spirituality, dramatic coastal scenery, and medieval history.
What to expect
Board a small vessel from Måløy harbour and sail across the open sound to Selja Island, passing dramatic sea stacks along the way. Your guide leads you up through ancient stone ruins to the clifftop monastery, one of Norway's most atmospheric medieval sites. The cave of St. Sunniva, hidden behind the ruins, is a genuinely spine-tingling moment. Return sailing offers sweeping views of the Norwegian coastline at its most elemental.
Good to know
This excursion books out fast — pre-book directly with Måløy Adventure well in advance. The island landing requires a short, moderate uphill walk; wear sturdy shoes. Allow 3–4 hours; check all-aboard time carefully as crossings depend on sea conditions.
