The beaches are at the far edge of the sea in tiny villages with just a handful of inhabitants. The bus trip goes through the beautiful Lofoten countryside, and you can get out and walk across a low mountain pass between the two beaches. There are spectacular views in all directions, with plenty of opportunity to take snaps of some of Norway’s most photographed beaches.

HIKING AT TORGHAT TEN

Come along to one of the most distinctive mountains that we sail past on the Havila Kystruten ship: Torghatten, the mountain with a big hole right through it.

Season: 1 Apr – 31 Oct Min/max persons: 4 – 45 Code: BNNS1

Torghatten has a naturally formed tunnel in the middle of the mountain, 12–15 metres wide, twice as high and 160 metres long. The hole was formed when the North American and European continental plates collided 600 million years ago, but while science tells us one thing, legends tell us something else.

According to one story, a brute of a troll fired an arrow at a girl who was running away from him. The king in one of the other mountains saw this and threw his hat in between so that the arrow went through the hat. Then the sun rose and as happens in legends, the sunlight turned the trolls to stone, just as it did with the Seven Sisters, the mountain range close to Sandnessjøen

More than eight kilometres of road that winds past the open sea and over skerries and islets. No wonder the Atlantic Ocean Road has been named one of the world’s most beautiful roads.

The Atlantic Ocean Road is also a popular place for car commercials, and more recently as the location of a car chase scene for the new James Bond film. We stick to a slower speed so you can enjoy the scenery, and we also make time for photo stops.

After the drive through the scenery, we drive through an undersea tunnel and arrive at Kvernes Stave Church. Stave churches are Norway’s most important contribution to European architecture. Kvernes Stave Church is richly decorated with leaf vines over walls and ceilings. The altarpiece and the rest of the church interior is characterised by the exuberant and colourful baroque style of the 17th century.
