Bodø's archipelago

You haven’t experienced Bodø until you have been to Væran. It’s easier to get there than you might think, whether you fancy a round trip on a fast passenger boat seeing the ports of call from on deck, spending the day on one of the islands, or living life at a slower pace for a few days.

Givær, Bliksvær, Landegode, Helligvær and Karlsøyvær comprise an island world of their own around the unobstructed Bodø peninsula - easily accessible and well sheltered. Ready for some island hopping?

The M/V “Gamle Salten” is back on the water! Join us for a cruise on board this popular vintage vessel. How about a first-rate meal on board while the ship is moored at the quayside in Bodø, Nordland’s urbane capital?

Bodø is an excellent area for sea kayaking, only a short distance from Fjordan and Væran with their white beaches, tenting spots, coastal culture, shoreline flora, seabirds and animal life.

There are a number of beautiful beaches in Bodø. Here you will find more information about facilities and how to get to some of them.
