We are happy to tailor activities for your group. Here are a few examples of what we offer...
A tour of Under is a popular choice for our guests at Havhotellet. Previous participants say they feel highly inspired after joining us beneath the waves to hear about the process of building the world's largest and Europe's only underwater restaurant in the small village of Spangereid. We also share insights into running a Michelin-starred restaurant, where every night is like a world championship.
The Southernmost part of Norway is a magically beautiful place, offering a rich history and modern-day relevance that fascinates most visitors. The dedicated team at the lighthouse welcomes you to experience the area with all your senses. Various tours combining tastes and stories are part of the program.
We also highly recommend visiting the lighthouse while it's "on the job," after nightfall. A nighttime tour with your group is sure to be memorable. The lighthouse keeper will guide you around the grounds and share the lighthouse's history, while serving a warm, sea-inspired beverage.
We have many wonderful neighbors here at the Southernmost part of Norway, and Trond and Hanne are among them. They created the beautiful ceramics you find at Under—from art to table decor and plates. They have a fantastic workshop in the old power station at Lonebekken, just a 5-minute drive from Havhotellet. Here, they invite you to a ceramics workshop in magical surroundings. We guarantee an atmospheric and memorable evening, filled with inspiration, creativity, and great connections.
If you want to get even closer to the sea and experience the Southernmost part of Norway from the water, sailing through one of the picturesque harbors of Sørlandet, we recommend a trip with Rubb. The rebuilt fishing boat Rubb will take you through breathtaking moments in picturesque surroundings, while you enjoy a warm drink—a soulful experience. Or, on windier days, a thrilling adventure as the sea comes alive. The local captain, with his long history at sea, is an enthusiastic storyteller.
"Live langoustine is so delicious that it should be illegal not to buy it," claims a prominent food writer (Finansavisen, 13.05.2016). Many agree. That's why "Knipseren" specializes in langoustine pot fishing (Nephrops norvegicus) in the waters around Havhotellet. Joining a langoustine fishing boat for a real fishing experience is a unique opportunity, where you become part of the crew and help with the work. You can also buy some of the catch, priced per kilo.
We tailor the trip and fishing to your preferences. We organize the trip and target the species you want to catch. We’ll teach you how to clean the fish onboard, and of course, you can take your catch home if you wish. While we can't guarantee a catch, we do our best to find good fishing spots. The boat trip itself is an experience, whether you're interested in nature, photography, or history in addition to fishing. No two trips are the same. All equipment is provided.
Today's Challenge is perfect for groups with limited time in their schedule, but who still want to engage and activate participants during breaks or throughout the day. We hand out the challenge at the start of the day or during lunch, and it should be solved in teams. You divide into teams yourselves. The challenge encourages thinking outside the box, creativity, and collective problem-solving. Before dinner, the tasks must be submitted, and the awards ceremony with presentation of the different solutions provides great entertainment during the meal. We arrange a prize for the winning team.
