Express boats

Svolvær-Skrova-Bodø

The express boat service from Bodø to Svolvær is a fantastic way to travel to Lofoten – all year round. This scenic voyage takes you between islands and skerries along the coast and has several ports of call in both Hamarøy and Steigen.

The express boat does not have a vehicle deck, but you may bring your bike. However, it’s a good idea to arrange this in advance. Order your tickets here (only in Norwegian). And if you plan on several boat/bus trips, consider buying the Travel Pass Nordland.

You can find the schedules for the express boat on the Reis Nordland website.

Reinefjorden 

It is possible to take the local boat from Reine to either Vindstad or Kjerkfjorden to explore the north side of the Moskenes island. From Vindstad you can walk to the beautiful Bunes beach.

You can find the schedule for Reinefjorden timetable in Reis Nordland here. Choose “Nordre Nordland” in the menu, then travel “from” Reine hurtigbåtkai (Moskenes) “to” Bunesfjorden 6 (Moskenes)

Stokmarknes – Kaljord – Hanøy

Another scenic route is the express boat from Stokmarknes to Hanøy (from Vesterålen to Lofoten). You can find the schedule for the route here.
