Eco Camp Norway - Hostel

About Eco Camp Norway - Hostel

Eco Camp Norway - Hostel is a small, 2-floor property with 8 rooms on Smola, an island municipality in Norway's More og Romsdal county. Despite its size, it earns an outstanding 9.6 out of 10 review score from 18 verified Traveloka guests, who highlight its cleanliness, service and facilities, and room comfort.

Location & How to Get There

The hostel is located at 710 Fv669 on Smola, an archipelago island off Norway's central-west coast. Reaching Smola typically involves a combination of driving and a ferry crossing from the mainland — most travelers connect via Kristiansund, the nearest larger town and airport, then continue by road and ferry to the island. Given Smola's remote, island setting, it's worth planning ferry schedules in advance rather than assuming last-minute crossings.

Breakfast and other amenities are not currently confirmed in the listing — guests should contact the property directly to confirm meal options and any additional services before booking.

Things to Do Nearby

Smola is best known for one very specific reason: it has the densest population of nesting white-tailed sea eagles anywhere in the world.

• White-tailed eagle safari — guided two-hour boat tours through Smola's archipelago give close-up views of Norway's largest bird of prey, with tours running year-round.
• Kayaking — guided tours around the Veiholmen area, or independent rental for experienced paddlers.
• Rafting and deep-sea fishing — both available from local operators exploring the waters around the island.
• Gurisenteret — a regional cultural and coastal center with family activities and exhibitions.

Dining Nearby

As a small, remote island community, Smola's dining options are limited compared to mainland towns — expect a modest selection of local cafes and restaurants around the main settlements. Guests should plan meals in advance, particularly outside the main summer season, and confirm with the hostel what's within easy reach.

Why Stay Here

Eco Camp Norway - Hostel offers a rare base for one of Norway's most distinctive wildlife experiences — sea eagle watching — backed by a near-perfect 9.6/10 guest score, making it a strong pick for nature-focused travelers willing to take the ferry out to the island.

Booking Tips

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00, and check-out is due by 12:00. Factor ferry timetables into your arrival and departure plans, since Smola's island access depends on scheduled crossings. Book eagle safaris and other activities in advance, especially in peak summer months, and reserve your room in USD on Traveloka ahead of your trip.
