Activities at Pater Noster

Even though the island Hamneskär is a small island at the far end of the sea, we can offer a variety of seaside activities and experiences.

Climb the stairs to a height of 32 meters and experience the view from the top of the Pater Noster Lighthouse. Up here you can also practice a yoga session, meditate or experience a nice massage in a sitting position while enjoying the wonderful view.

Borrow snorkeling equipment and experience the Swim of the senses, a meditative and enriching experience that gives you new perspectives on our ocean. Or enjoy our outdoor spa in the form of hot tubs with heated seawater, outdoor shower and sauna next to the lighthouse, with fantastic views of the horizon.

You can also borrow fishing rods and fish from the island, experience seaweed safaris and harvest seaweed with a marine biologist, take a trip between the islets for a seal safari or go sea kayaking and swim with the seals. We also offer wine tasting or champagne tasting with our own sommelier.

The possibilities out here are as endless as the horizon, but of course it is the season that governs based on weather and wind. For more information see below or contact us.
