2026 Chris North to Tromsø, Wed July 01, 2026

The Bodø → Moskenes ferjekai (ferry) takes 3h15m and departs at 1:15am, 3:15am, 6:00am, 10:00am, etc.

It's reasonable to take the 10am landing at 1:15pm and then make 2h20m more to one of the several hotels in Lofoten (e.g. Nordis Hotel Lofoten, Austnesfjordgata 36). From there it's an easy day to Tromsø.

But that doesn't work because there are 3 ferries on Fv17 on the way to Bodø, so no way to make the 4pm ferry or even the 6:30pm

Bodø to Moskenes (ferry) then on to Lofoten (5h35m, 124km driving) Ferry info Timetable for Jun 30


Blåfjell → Bodø


Blåfjell to Bodø (6h47m 350km) 3 ferries
