Day trip to Vesterålen

Vesterålen is of Harstad's fine neighbours, and is an eldorado for mountaineering, trips out in the archipelago and has a rich cultural history.

Visit the old fishing wharf Nyksund, where you can dine in historical surroundings. Learn more about Northern Norway's history in beautiful scenery. It takes about 2.5 hours to drive from Harstad to this hidden pearl.

Vesterålen is also the only place in Norway where you can go on a whale safari throughout the whole year! It takes about 3 hours from Harstad to Andenes where we recommend for the best chance to spot whales. We will gladly help you to book your next unforgettable experience!
