Godøya or Godøy[1] is an island in Giske Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
The island is famous for its beautiful nature, dominated by the 497-metre (1,631 ft) tall mountain Storhornet and the large lake Alnesvatnet.
[2] Most of the population lives on the southeastern side of the island in the villages of Godøy and Leitebakk, although the small fishing village of Alnes, with the old Alnes Lighthouse, is located on the north side of the island about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away via a tunnel through the 436-metre (1,430 ft) tall mountain Sloktinden.
There is further ferry-free road transportation (including the Giske Bridge) that connects the island to the town of Ålesund.
The name stems back to the Viking Age, and is derived from the name "Gud øy", which translates to "Island of God(s)" in English.
