Island Hopping by Bike in Northern Norway

Arrival Brønnøysund. Bike trip to Torghatten.

Welcome to the coastal town, Brønnøysund. The easiest way to travel here is by plane.

Bike Vega - Herøy.

The express boat that takes you from Vega to Herøy is a great experience and you get to see more of the Helgeland archipelago. On Herøy, you have many nice options to bike in different directions. The landscape is perfect for cycling with flat islands that are connected by countless bridges, with the contrast of the towering mountain, Dønnamannen, in the horizon.

You can also visit the famous flower shop in the area. We take a boat to the accommodation.

Accommodation at Havkanten Gjestehus (shared bathroom). A 2-course dinner is included.

Bike Herøy - Sandnessjøen.

After breakfast we go for a boattrip in the archipelago, before cycling 5 km, taking the ferry back to Flostad.

The route between Herøy and Dønna is magical and considered one of the finest along the coastal route of Helgeland. To the east you have a view of the Seven Sisters mountain ridge, to the west you see Lovund and to the north, you see Mount Dønnamannen.

At Seløy we are served a fishsoup for lunch at the nice Augustobryggo restaurant.

The ferry from Bjørn at Dønna takes you over to Sandnessjøen (25 min). 

Accommodation at Scandic Syv Søstre

Bike Sandnessjøen - Forvik.

Easy cycling parallel to the mountain range, the Seven Sisters. Approximately 20 km after Sandnessjøen you will see the Petter Dass Museum at Alstahaug. We recommend stopping here for a guided tour. 

You continue from one island to the next on a narrow strip of land to Tjøtta. The International War Cemetery at Tjøtta may be an interesting stop as well. Ferry from Tjøtta to Forvik. At the ferry quay in Forvik we visit the coffee roastery at the old trading post.

Accommodation in authentic surroundings at Forvik Old Trading Post or Vevelstad Guesthouse (shared bathroom / WC). In the evening you are served a 2-course meal which is included in the package. We will be served the Boknafisk, a speciality in Northern Norway. 

Bike Forvik - Brønnøysund.

The route from Forvik to the ferry in Andalsvåg follows a strip of land between the sea and the mountains on the mainland. Ferry to Horn. On the way to Brønnøysund, you pass Hildurs Urterarium (Herb Garden), where you can buy lunch and walk around in the beautiful garden.
