Bike the Coastal Route of Northern Norway,  with a tour guide. Spectacular nature, the world`s strongest maelstraum, unique islands, a UNESCO World Heritage listed archepelago, cultural landscapes and coastal communities.

Active vacation with cycling and boat trips along the Coastal Route on the Helgeland Coast. From the seat of your bike, you get close to the sights of steep mountains, elongated beaches, cultural landscapes and coastal communities. The tour starts in the European Capital of Culture 2024, Bodø, where we recommend adding a few days to explore the city and its surroundings.

The trip follows large parts of the Norwegian Scenic Routes Helgelandskysten  southwards, with detours to some of the islands along the way.

Saltstraumen, the world's strongest tidal current, is a mighty sight. On the island of Lovund you will experience a vibrant island community, with nice hiking opportunities and one of the largest puffin colonies in Norway. From Sandnessjøen we cycle with the well-known Seven Sisters mountain range in sight, and on the island of Vega we visit the World Heritage Centre to learn how this archepelago gained its World Heritage status. The island Leka really stands out with its very special red and yellow mountains and different landscape, and is named Norway's geological national monument.

A tour guide and a follow car are never far away, so you are well taken care of, and get tips for suggested detours and sights along the way. The stages are between 60 and 87 km, where you are free to use your own bike or rent a hybrid bike or electric bike from us. Ferries, and expressboats, as well as a bike-free day along the way provide good breathers to enjoy the surroundings.
