Map and directions for motorists (Klikk her)

This map is designed to help you decide which means of transport is most suitable to your needs when planning your journey to Reine Rorbuer in the Lofoten Islands. Overseas travellers will most likely arrive in Oslo or Bergen - by air or by boat. From here, you have a number of options to choose from on your journey north.

Please note that the Coastal Steamer (Hurtigruta) is not shown on the map. This is a coastal liner that operates daily services from Bergen to Kirkenes and back, a journey of one week's duration. The coastal Steamer stops at Stamsund in the Lofoten Islands, from where there are corresponding bus services to Reine - a 70 km bus ride.

It takes about 3 hours by air from Oslo to Lofoten (to Leknes Airport, 60 km from Reine), but you can, of course, travel by other means of transport like the Coastal Steamer as mentioned above, the train (approx 22 hours to Bodø), or by car, thus spending more time enjoying your journey.

The easiest way to get to Reine is to take the appropriate means of transport to Bodø (see above), and catch the ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, 7 km from Reine. It is also possible to fly from Bodø to Leknes (Widerøe's) - 25 min. flight - and catch a bus from there to Reine (60 km). Motorists may either catch the ferry over from Bodø, or from Skutvik in Hamarøy to Svolvær, from where they can drive the full length of the magnificent Lofoten Islands all the way to Reine. It is also possible to get to Lofoten by taking the express passenger ferry to Svolvær from Narvik or Bodø, and continuing by bus, hire car or bicycle to Reine (120 km).
