Trip to Runde Lighthouse

Gain insight into the history of Runde Lighthouse

On the trip out to Runde Lighthouse, our nature guide shares stories from the island, including the discovery of a lost treasure and the unique nature of Runde. You will get a deep dive into lighthouse history and the island's natural wonders. The tour begins with a meeting at the Runde Environmental Centre. Inside the centre, you will be given a tour of the exhibition, where the nature guide will tell you about the birds, coastal ecology, and a legendary treasure found right by the lighthouse. After the exhibition tour, we head up into the mountains. Outside, you will experience the sheer cliffs, see the nesting grounds of the seabirds that inhabit the island, and view the magnificent lighthouse.

Experience a side of Runde that not everyone gets to see

Along the way, stories will be told about the lighthouse keepers and builders from Sunnmøre. We will enjoy lunch with an ocean view before heading back. If you want to hear these incredible stories while seeing the most beautiful spots on Runde, this is the tour for you. The trip is also excellent outside the summer season, allowing you to see a side of Runde that few have the pleasure of experiencing.

In addition, you should bring:

- Hiking backpack (20-40 L)

- A water bottle

- Hat and gloves if it is cold

- Camera

The tour can be tailored for groups upon request and can be booked all year round. Send an email to booking@runde.no or call +47 700 80 800 for more information.
