Andøya is the northernmost island in Vesterålen. All our hotels are located in the northern part of the island, in Andenes and on Bleik.
Despite being a remote island where tranquility is a way of life, Andøya has a lot of tourism and as such there are many ways to get here.
By car
If you are coming from Lofoten, Narvik or Tromsø, you must pass Sortland, road 85. Once there, you will enter local road 82 towards Andøya and Andenes. Road 82 ends in Andenes havn, and by car from Sortland it takes approx. 1.5 hours to get here.
By ferry
There are daily trips in the summer from Andenes to Senja/Gryllefjord and back. If you are coming from the north it will be the most convenient way to travel, but please note that you cannot reserve the ferry, so you must be at the ferry terminal at least an hour before departure. See Time Table.
By boat
Hurtigruten arrives at Risøyhamn on the southern part of the island, twice a day throughout the year. From here you can take a bus or taxi to Andenes. See Time Table.
By plane
Wideroe has daily departures from Tromsø, Bodø and Harstad/Evenes to Andøya Airport.
Many guests also choose to fly to Harstad/Evenes airport and rent a car. It is a 3.5 hour drive up to Andenes, but having a car on the island is a big advantage.
By bus
There are daily departures from Andenes to Sortland. From here you can take a bus to Lofoten, Harstad, Narvik or Tromsø. See Time Table.
By train
There are no trains on the island. If you are planning a train trip to Andøya, please note that you must take the bus to Narvik and travel from there.
Rent a car
Having a car on the island provides a good advantage and makes it easier to get to the various attractions the island has to offer.
