The Map below is designed to help
you decide which means of transport is most suitable to your needs when
planning your journey to Flakstad & Moskenes in the Lofoten Islands. Overseas
travellers will most likely arrive in Oslo or Bergen - by air or by boat. From
here, you have a number of options to choose from on your journey north.
If you click on the
various means of transport displayed, you will
receive further information about them. Please note that the
Coastal Voyage (Hurtigruten) is not shown on the map. This is a coastal liner
that operates daily departures from Bergen to Kirkenes and back, a journey of
one week's duration. The coastal Steamer stops at Stamsund in the Lofoten
Islands, from where there are corresponding
bus services
to Flakstad and Moskenes.
It takes about 3 hours by air
from Oslo to Lofoten, but you can, of course, travel by other means of
transport like the Coastal Steamer as mentioned above, the train (approx 22
hours), or by car, thus spending more time enjoying your journey. We will be
glad to provide further details of means of transport, including bus, boat and
air services within Lofoten.There are also
express passenger boats
from Bodø and Narvik to Svolvær, from where there are daily bus services to
Flakstad & Moskenes.
Otherwise, the easiest way
to get to Flakstad & Moskenes is to take the appropriate means of transport to
Bodø, and catch the
ferry from Bodø to Moskenes. It is also possible to fly from Bodø to
Leknes (Widerøe's) - 25 min. flight - and catch a bus from there. Motorists may
either catch the ferry over from Bodø, or from
Skutvik in
Hamarøy to Svolvær, from where they can drive the full length of the
magnificent Lofoten Islands all the way to Å.
