TROMSØ - LOFOTEN / LOFOTEN - TROMSØ
Travel between the Capital of the Arctic, Tromsø and Lofoten (Kabelvåg)
Get ready to discover the Arctic in a safe, reliable, and relaxed way! Summer in the Arctic is breathtaking: from snowy mountain peaks to green flourishing hillsides, warm white sandy beaches and chilly windy mountain tops, from stunning fjords views to accessible mountain hikes, and from active Arctic towns to rustic and picturesque fishing villages. The area above the Arctic Circle has it all!

Daily service
Our daily-operated bus routes bring you between North and South: from Tromsø, via Sommarøy, Senja, Andøya, Vesterålen, all the way to the Gateway of the Lofoten: Svolvær and Kabelvåg, in both directions, every day. The route also connects many of the entry and exit points in the Arctic Route summer area, such as Tromsø airport and the Hurtigruten stops in Svolvær and Tromsø.
Fixed price
Travel the whole route or just for a shorter distance. Our price system is set up with a price per distance which fits all different needs. The number of kilometers and the price go hand in hand.
(COMING SOON) Travel Passes
Travel with a 4, 7 or 10 day pass, without limit of how many times you can hop on/ off during these periods. The ticket is bought as a value voucher and the traveler reconfirms the seat for each leg up front. These passes can also be used at the same time, on both routes Tromsø – Lofoten (Kabelvåg) – Tromsø and Narvik – Lofoten (Å) – Narvik, allowing you to try both of these routes during the duration of your travel pass.

* Hop-on/hop-off stops:
Guests will hop off the bus and stay at this location. Our hop-off stops always have activities, accommodation, and eating facilities. The next day, they can hop on the bus again to continue their journey in the same or opposite direction.
* Photo Stop:
We don’t want a good memory-creating place to be passed by. Our photo stops take between 15 to 25 minutes, so guests have time to take photos, stretch their legs, and breathe the Arctic! After this, hop on the same bus to continue your journey.
* Activity Stops:
Our Activity Stops take around 1 hour, so guests can visit a place, without having to book an overnight. These activity stops are ideal for food breaks, buying souvenirs, or visiting a village, a beach, or a fjord. And after that, the guests continue their journey on the same bus.
