Vesteralen Holidays

Vesteralen - an archipelago located north of Lofoten - is exceptionally naturally beautiful and is a wonderful choice for visitors throughout the seasons. Thanks to its extremely clear and nutrient-rich water, it’s a great place for whale watching during the right time of year, but Vesteralen holidays should also include explore the coast of Bo by kayak; taking a boat trip in the Trollfjord to watch the orcas in early winter; hiking on the trail of Queen Sonja; visiting the whaling education centre in Andenes; meeting Lapland’s indigenous Sami people to learn about traditional customs and reindeer herding; and cycling to the village of Nyksund for a spot of fishing.
