TROMSØ–STAMSUND Day – Southbound


9


Excursions in Lofoten This is the perfect place for adventure and exploration. In Svolvær, you can choose between several seasonal excursions. Enjoy a trip out to the Lofoten Islands where you can visit small fi shing villages, or join a guided walk around the idyllic area of Svinøya. Hop aboard a local fi shing boat and try your luck against the big cod. If you want an adrenaline rush, join a RIB excursion around the fantastic Lofoten archipelago. In this high-speed adventure, you get to see a lot of Lofoten, including a magnifi cent lagoon with a stunning, secluded beach. Or maybe you would rather choose a quiet horse ride through Lofoten´s breathtaking scenery.


Risøyhamn


Still carrying freight and


passengers Risøyhamn is a small village on the island of Andøya. We stop here to drop off passengers – and to deliver food and post to the locals, number- ing approximately 200 inhabitants. Delivering food, money and medi- cines has been an impor- tant task for Hurtigruten for 125 years, and an invaluable service to the communities living along Norway’s coast.
