For more experienced hikers seeking a thrill, there are alternative routes like Finnkonnakken, Litltind, or Steigtind. The 2.

León D — Google review
Totally stunning views from the top of the mountain. The point of 366 meters above sea level is called Keiservarden and is a rather easy and nice hike close to Bodo. Travel to Turisthytten and walk from there. The path is 2.3 km of which the fist km is a really easy path, wide and smooth. The last 1.3 km is still an easy walk but know it goes up hill with uneven stone stairs mixed with mountain paths and stony parts. Lots of people run up to the top and most people wear running shoes but I recommend a light walking shoe for the hike and some warm clothes for the top once you reach it. You'll want to stay and it can be quite windy up here. The view will show you Saltstraumen, Kjerringoy, Bodo city and if you go in the summer on a sunny day - an amazing midnight sun.

The view is super nice although going up is a challenge but as you go up, you also see the view of whole Bodø, as well as the different nature views surrounding it.

Mjelle is a remote and pristine beach located about 15 km north of Bodo towards Kjerringoy. It's known for its small red granade stones in the sand, creating a unique and picturesque setting. The beach offers no facilities, so visitors are advised to bring their own supplies for the day.
A magical beach off the beaten track. This place should be visited if you are in Bodø: you are bound to spend the whole day in the summer. Make sure to bring your supplies and pack a picknic. This will easily become a favourite spot for many.

A very peaceful and romantic place. Light sand, clear water. Almost no people — perfect for enjoying nature in solitude. You need to walk a bit to reach the beach, but that only adds to the atmosphere. A great spot for a walk, photos, and quiet relaxation. Especially beautiful at sunset. If you're near Bodø — be sure to visit. This is one of those beaches you’ll never forget.
Анастасия Б — Google review
It's not surprising that this beach is featured in songs and literature from the area. It is highly visited but still pristine. A bit off the beaten track for visitors to Bodø, but this is a bit of tamed wilderness worth seeing. This is fantastic remote beach Mjelle about 15 km out north of Bodø towards Kjerringøy. It's not really red but in parts it has a lot of small red granade stones in the sand. The beach has no facilities at all, so I needed to bring my suppleres for the day. Anyone can find nudity occurs here. However, there is normally more than enough space so no-one won't be bothered by other people. We need to find a spot and enjoy our day and maybe the night to see the midnight sun over Lofoten Islands.

Yesterday we joined Jann to see the Northern Lights and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Not only Jann is extremely knowledgeable but also he is very funny which makes the trip even better. He took us to different places to see the lights and told us historical facts about Svolvaer. He also taught me the best way to capture the Northern Lights with my camera which I really appreciate! Jann you’re an absolute star!!

We went on a Northern light trip organised as part of a package from staying at Svinoya. Jan took us out, gave us history and facts about Lofoten Islands.

I did a 2-day kayaking course for beginners (NPF Basics WetCard) in July 2024, and had fantastic experience with Lofoten Aktiv. Even before the course started, communication from the owner was great both online and over the phone. The course itself was fantastic. Odd and Eilif are both brilliant instructors - super patient, and also really fun to learn from! They both made me feel completely safe even as we learned more advanced techniques and started doing more challenging maneuvers out on the open water. The whole course was a great way to build my skills - and also fall in love with sea kayaking!

Magic Ice Lofoten is located in a former fish-freezing plant and offers a unique experience with its 500-square-meter space filled with impressive ice sculptures depicting life in Lofoten. Visitors are provided with warm clothing and a drink in an ice glass upon admission. The bar's staff is known for their friendliness, and guests have praised the talented sculptor from Lithuania who serves drinks.
Stumbled upon this fun place on a July Havila cruise stop and glad we did! -5 centigrade met us with a blast of cold air (coats and gloves provided). A cold cocktail provided, and ice sculptures and an ice slide rounded out the exploration. About 20 euro admission each, which seemed steep at entrance but we laughed and chilled our way through it. Maybe stayed 30 minutes max (my partner insists it was only 15 before we were bone cold!). Hindsight says it was well worth it. Good memories.
David W — Google review
We had so much fun. The bartender/ barman from Rome was really friendly and helpful! You have to try the ice slide. Fascinating ice sculptures related to runic mythology. Excellent alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with a variety of flavors, sitting at ice tables on warm furs! I chose apple and cinnamon, and it was fantastic in the ice glass. We took lots of photos. About €25 per person, but well spent. A unique experience!

What an excellent find! We had 30 minutes in the port and this was ideal. Three minutes walk from where our boat docked. Excellent and very welcoming staff. Incredible ice sculptures in a permanently frozen warehouse. They provide extra warm capes. The 200 NKR admission fee includes a cloudberry wine drink served in a cup made of ice. The floor is easy to walk on, not slippy. The sculptures are Nordic themed. Be careful if climbing onto the slide or the throne (both permitted) as they are obviously incredibly slippery. ♿️ Accessibility seemed easy, wide entrance, all on one level and plenty of manoeuvring space. Once again very good find with incredibly welcoming staff. Late opening hours to suit ship’s arrivals!

It is a tourist trap, but a good one. If you never been to a place like that it’s worth paying $30 pp (including a drink). When we went it was pretty empty, it was nice to have place to ourselves. Spent there probably only 15 minutes there but the experience was pretty cool!

A powerful and moving experience. This World War II museum offers an incredibly well-curated and informative journey through one of the most important periods of modern history. The exhibits are rich with authentic artifacts, personal stories, and multimedia presentations that make the past feel very real and present. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtful layout and the emotional impact of the survivor testimonies. It’s a place that invites reflection and helps you understand the human cost and complexity of war. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, education, or simply gaining a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made during WWII. A must-visit.

A great little museum with tons of stuff packed into a small place, and some very interesting artefacts. Perhaps a bit of an over emphasis on the Waffen SS, but plenty of stuff on other branches off the German armed forces as well as other nationalities involved in the war in Norway.

This museum has an awesome WW2 collection! Not neatly packed in chronological order, just stuffed to the brim with cool memorabilia. From swastika-Christmas bellls to an alarm horn from battleship Tirpitz. And it's right next to the cruise terminal, so if you're traveling the norwegian coastal route and only have 40 minutes in Svolvaer, you can spend 39 of them here. A true walhalla for history buffs!

The cruise takes you to Skrova Island for a memorable kayaking adventure before returning to Svolvaer. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced kayaker, this trip welcomes all skill levels.
My Parents and I did the Classic Sea Eagle Tour. It was so much fun also to have nice warm soup on the Boat and tea or Coffee. The Seagulls Followed our boat too and the Troll Area was fun too but look closely at the Rocks how that place got its name. I was Lucky to see the Sea Eagles around the troll area and a couple of nests are there you can sit outside or on a Rainy day inside the boat with lots of seats and some Tables. My dad caught a Fish I thought I almost had one as I thought I felt tugging but unfortunately it didn't clap on the hook and swam away but it was a nice try. It was a very Enjoyable tour. When we booked it in advance one of the guides was Even there who called our names. You have a choice of tours but the Classic one I did Really Enjoy and hope Tourist's will try and enjoy that one I Recommend.

The silent Trollfjord cruise was a delight! Saw many see eagles, the views were magic, the information provided was interesting and informative, the pre-ordered hot sou- was a great addition! It was an afternoon cruise and we reached Trollfjord (which takes almost 2 hours to reach) we were the only ship there and it is there when the boat switches to a quiet electric power. Highly recommend!

Try to do this cruise if visiting Lofoten islands. Make reservations once you are certain of the weather on the particular day you are picking - make sure it’s sunny as on a cloudy/rainy/snowy day the mountains and islands are not visible :( We were lucky to get great weather and the cruise was absolutely worth the money and spending 3 hours. It’s not choppy or uncomfortable (for people who have motion or other sickness), it’s silent and very smooth. Extremely beautiful views throughout- it was like a series of countless picture postcards ! Wasn’t windy and we could stand outside and take pictures as well as sat inside. They offer refreshments on the cruise for people to purchase. There were 2 marine biologists on board - one local from Norway and one from Australia - both very knowledgeable and shared their views and wisdom on marine life throughout. In the last 30 minutes or so, they dropped a drone in the water and showed sea kelp forest, sea urchins and other local Norwegian marine life. It was fun overall and well worth the time & money!

Lofoten Lights offers an authentic Scandinavian experience in the Lofoten Archipelago with a 4-day tour including an Aurora Chase, guided tour, RIB boat tour, and accommodation in a traditional fisherman's cabin. Another option is the Tromso Wildlife & Northern Lights package which includes a wildlife cruise and northern lights hunt. Additionally, private tours are available for those interested in flexible and personalized experiences.
We love our private tour with Maurizio from Svolvaer to Å. The tour is very flexible, fun, and humorous... Yet knowledgeable. Lofoten light also provided us with tips and location to visit for our self-guide since their tour was sold out for one we are interested in. He also told us locations for northern light, but unfortunately the weather was not good even though the KP level was high in 4. He suggested we didn't get the car for that day.

Great tour and great price with pick up at Cruise Port, Leknes, Norway. The bus was clean, comfortable, and not overcrowded. We traveled along the roadway, crossing through the many tunnels, making stops along the way. ( not in order) A pronounced O, Reine, Ramberg. The white sand beaches were truly amazing with clear turquoise waters. There was also a surf beach we drove by. Although there were no breaking waves, it was equally stunning. Lots of overnight campers enjoying breakfast and the beautiful area. The many villages, churches, and stunning beauty of picturesque Norway came to life right before or eyes. Amazing!! The gentleman tour guide provides a wonderful narrative throughout the tour. Our bus driver kept us safe throughout the day as some areas were crowded. Highly recommend this tour company!

We booked 2 day private tour of the island. It was a fantastic way to experience the beautiful Island. We had Vera as our guide. She is absolutely phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very knowledgeable. She took us to very picturesque spots and we had a lovely time touring the island with her. Also wanted to thank Claudia and Eleonora for helping me to plan my itinerary. Thank you!

I took the North Lofoten Top Highlights Photo Tour today and it was fantastic. Andrea, our tour guide is very knowledgeable about the places we visited. The views were just stunning. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to explore the Lofoten Island and in a very limited time. I will take the tour again the next timeI visit Lofoten.

My husband and I booked the Svolvær South of Lofton Photo tour. We had a blast learning about the island and going to the most picturesque places to take photos. Our tour guide, Vera was amazing and we can not say enough about her insight and conversation while driving between points. We would definitely recommend and if you get Vera you will have a great time, we sure did!

Lofoten Explorer AS is a sightseeing tour agency that takes visitors on a trollfjord and sea eagle safari tour. The outfit can be a little strange at first, but once the boat starts moving it all makes sense. The scenery of Lofoten is amazing and the tour was very informative. My six-year-old daughter had a great time too.
I booked "Sea Eagle RIB Safari" on 07/17/2023. Company : Lofoten Explorer Price : 1,090 nok I took the speed boat and saw eagles. It's good experience and activity.^^

Did Trollfjord and eagle tour. Was very cold but clear, but the gear they give you kept us rugged up. Tour was amazing, lots of grey action shots of white tailed eagles swooping in to feed, and a beautiful little fjord. Highly recommend.

Nice trip to the Trollfjord with multiple stops to view eagles. Good opportunities to see the eagles from close by. Friendly shipper which gave good explanations..

Very good experience! We had a great sea eagle trip — there was enough time to stop and take photos, and we saw many eagles today. The guide also gave us explanations along the way. On the way back, we even saw orcas! The guide kindly stopped the boat so we could fully enjoy watching them before heading back. Such a wonderful person!

My experience with Lofoten Explorer was good. I did the Eagles safari and Trollfjord. The best moment was to see Eagles in wild state. Trollfjord is OK but it was not amazing for me. The views during route on the speed boat were wonderful all time. The clothes, which they borrow you, is very good for cold and wind. I suggest to wear thermal socks and good shoes for cold and wind. The staff was friendly, but I could not listen very good the explanations of guide during activity because of noise. The total time is 2,5h. The speed boat stops in different places to see eagles. The speed boat is safety. I recommend to do this activity if you want to see Eagles catching fishes and beautiful views. I will not repeat this activity because one time is enough to me and it is cost too much money.

Nestled conveniently between the E6 highway and the ferry route to Lofoten Islands, the Knut Hamsun Centre is an essential stop for literary enthusiasts. This museum stands out not only for its tribute to Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun but also for its striking contemporary architecture that captures the essence of northern Norway's design landscape. Visitors can explore well-curated exhibits detailing Hamsun's life and works, with friendly staff eager to share insights about his literary contributions.

Stetind

Mentioned on

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Stetind Mountain, located around 15 miles from Kjopsvik in Norway, is a picturesque and unique obelisk-shaped peak with smooth sides that make for a challenging climb. As Norway's national mountain, it stands out from the surrounding landscape and is a popular destination for hikers. The area around the mountain features a beautiful river and the Bautastein park, offering stunning natural scenery.
AMAZING hike!!! For people visting NOT wishing to climb, the lake at the end of the track is a magnificent stop for a lunch. The hike started from the parking lot right near the toilets and ran along the river, where you meet a beautiful little waterfall. You don’t have to climb the waterfall - there is a small track around it which goes into the Forrest. Beautiful walk close to the lake and in the birch forest. At the end it gets a bit steeper, which is also when the trees end and the rocky surface begins. It’s fairly easy to follow the track all the way to the beautiful azure blue lake. We had thought to go higher, as the sign at the parking place said, you could go almost to the top without climbing. NO! Just no! Some loose rocks and scramble is ok for us, but closing in on the top it’s flat, sheer near vertical rock which is dangerous to attempt without prober gear. We stayed around the rocks and took some amazing photos before heading down - which was still a bit of a challenge. In other words - absolutely a fantastic hike and worth a visit - even without going all the way to the top. And honestly - if you are not an experienced climber with the right gear - Don’t attempt the top.
Dorthea K — Google review

Norwegian Coastal Express Museum

Mentioned on

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Norwegian Coastal Express Museum offers a unique experience for maritime enthusiasts and history buffs. Visitors can explore a complete former postal ship, gaining insight into the daily life aboard these iconic vessels. The museum features tours of a 1956 passenger ship, providing a glimpse into the past for all ages. With physical interactions and digital displays, it offers an engaging experience, including archival insights into the first passengers' experiences and the accommodation of captains and crews.
This is the Hurtigrute Museum in Stokmarknes, Norway. It's an amazing museum. It's as if the museum was built around the ship. What I like most about this ship is that you can go directly into different rooms instead of viewing through glass. Many rooms that you wouldn't ordinarily see are open. Highly recommend.
Beverly ( — Google review
An absolute must see - either if you have any interest at all in this essential part of Norway’s history, development and transportation OR if you just want to experience one of the most fantastic museum experiences! A ship in a bottle!! (Well in an amazing glass walled building!). One man’s dream has turned into one of the ‘must sees’ in Norway. Absolute superb presentation & information provision, with wonderfully passionate & helpful staff. What is also amazing about the museum is that 1 in 4 of the island’s population have annual tickets so it has also started to become the community hub, especially with it’s evocative coffee shop & cafe on board the ship itself. And no you can’t possibly do it justice if you only have 45 minutes in port! The last few reviews seem to miss the point. This would be a wonderful sight to see (a huge vessel in an amazing building) for even 5 minutes but you really need 2-3 hours to take in the whole story. And, to correct the last reviewer, every information board is in Norwegian, English AND German. It was an inspired move to encase this beautifully restored vessel in glass & huge thanks must be given to the dreamers & tenacious persisters who have made this possible - and the amazing team of volunteers who still turn up every day to keep everything ship shape. THANK YOU
Mike D — Google review
The museum is unuseable for a visit with a 45-minute stop on a Hurtigruten ship. There should be a signposted tour with distance and progress information that one could follow quickly. Only then would you have a good sense of seeing a lot and of reaching the exit in a defined manner. There's a lot to see on and in the historic ship that I would have liked to examine more closely without having to wonder how to get there and back without ending up in a dead end.
W. L — Google review
Excellent museum and a must do when you are in Norway, even if you are not a ship person. We have sailed on the Hurtigruten new and the old ships, so to be able to go around all of the 1956 built ship was amazing. We even managed to find the cabin in 3rd class where we had our first trip. There is a lot of information available on the ship and part of the steam ship lounges from early 1900s. They also give the story of how they saved the Finnmarken ship and the long process to build the stunning glass building that surrounds it.

Amazing! Went in on a rainy day but definetely worth visiting if you want to learn about one of the Norways most important mean of transportation - the coastal express. Interactive, informative and interesting. Better than the Amundsen museum in Oslo
Frantisek C — Google review
Quick and impressive way to learn about Hurtigruten and coastal transport development. We particularly like cafe on board, and the backstory of how community effort fostered the museum. The furnishings are authentic and well preserved. There is no glass that restrict visitor access and you can enter most rooms and feel the vibes! Go around 1pm and you might spot active hurtigtruten ferries moor on the quay beside the museum. Glad to see such fabulous piece of local history be preserved so well.
Wong B — Google review
This museum is time travel at it's finest. Really takes you back to being a passenger on MS Finnmarken in it's glory days! You get to explore the ships exterior and interior in full detail without much restrictions, as sadly is the case with most other museums of this type. Full access to the most of the ship! Even the resturant in the ship serves the kind of traditional Norwegian food you would expect in 1956. Highly recommend a visit to anyone who would like to experience this Norwegian coastal liner the way it used to be!

We bought tickets for 2 in advance. It was a really cool experience! The tour of the museum included a VR experience. We then went out on speedboat to the fish farms, and came back to enjoy smoked salmon, biscuit and tea in a candlelit shack. Waterproof jacket, boots, gloves, and life vest are provided for the boat ride. Don’t follow google maps directions to the place - go straight instead of turning right into the tiny bridge. Turn right further down on the second bridge.

(Translated by Google) In search of fresh fish or crabs we went to the tourist information center. There they circled 2 shopping centers for us on a city map. The lady said we should try it there. Apparently she meant the supermarkets. However, we thought more of a fish shop or a stand that sells fish sandwiches or fish from the ship. In the supermarket, an employee said that people probably don't eat crabs here, only in the south. We left disappointed. The lady at the tourist information office could have explained this to us in more detail. It's a real shame, they have the sea on their doorstep and it's so difficult to get fresh seafood. Very disappointing here. (Original) Auf der Suche nach frischem Fisch oder Krabben haben wir uns in die Touristen Info begeben. Dort kreiste man uns auf einem Stadtplan 2 Einkaufscenter ein. Die Dame meinte, wir sollen es dort probieren. Scheinbar meinte sie damit die Supermärkte. Wir dachten jedoch eher an einen Fischladen oder einen Stand, der Fischbrötchen oder Fisch vom Schiff verkauft. Im Supermarkt meinte ein Mitarbeiter, Krabben isst man hier wohl nicht, nur im Süden. Enttäuscht zogen wir davon. Das hätte die Dame bei der Touristeninfo uns auch mal etwas ausführlicher erklären können. Wirklich schade, die haben hier das Meer vor der Tür und es ist so schwer frische Meerestiere zu bekommen. Sehr enttäuschend hier.

(Translated by Google) A place of trade from olden times. This was a trading post where boats came in from locally and from afar. Where there was accommodation, festivities and a merchant's place. Today, this is a large cultural heritage that has been restored, with a shop, exhibition and cafe. Kvæfjord boat association also has its premises there, where they restore old boats and show them off to the public. There they also have an outdoor school in boating, farming and fishing in the summer. (Original) Et handelsted fra gammelt av. Dette var et handelsted der det kom båter inn fra lokalt og langveis fra. Der det var overnatting, festligheter og kjøpmannssted. I dag er dette en stor kulturarv som er resturet, med butikk, utstilling og kafe. Der har også kvæfjord båtforening sine lokaler, der de resturerer gamle båter og viser de frem til publikum. Der har de også uteskole i båt, jordbruk og fiske på sommerhalvåret.

(Translated by Google) This is what a visitor farm should look like! Perfectly adapted for everyone. People with reduced mobility, children, prams, yes, everyone. Good with parking. Cozy cafe. Lots of nice animals that are clearly doing well. Nice play area for children. Various activities for all ages. Information about the animals is on the enclosure. Lots of creative decoration distributed throughout the farm. You must go here if you are nearby! Check the opening hours online. (Original) Sånn skal en besøksgård se ut! Kjempefint tilpasset for alle. Bevegelseshemmede, barn, barnevogn, ja alle. Bra med parkering. Koselig kafé. Masse fine dyr som tydelig har det godt. Fint lekeområde for barn. Forskjellige aktiviteter for alle aldre. Info om dyrene står på innhegningen. Masse kreativ dekorasjon fordelt på hele gården. Hit må mann dra hvis mann er i nærheten! Sjekk åpningstidene på nett.

(Translated by Google) Sollund farm has a cozy petting zoo where you can greet different animals both inside and outside. Here you will meet everything from chinchillas and rabbits to peacocks, horses and alpacas. The cafe is top notch with homemade cakes and other goodies, and for the little ones there are activities such as a climbing frame and stilts. The whole family can work together to solve the farm puzzle, or compete in table mini-golf. In other words, a bit of everything for both young and old. We really enjoyed our visit! (Original) Sollund gård har en koselig husdyrpark hvor man kan hilse på forskjellige dyr både inne og ute. Her møter du alt fra chinchilla og kaniner til påfugler, hester og alpakka. Kafeen er topp med hjemmelagde kaker og andre godsaker, og for de små er her aktiviteter som klatrestativ og stylter. Hele familien kan samarbeide om å løse gårdsrebusen, eller konkurrere i bord-minigolf. Med andre ord litt av hvert for både små og store. Vi koste oss veldig på besøk!
