Northern Norway is a fantastic destination for independent travellers.
An extensive network of buses, ferries, express boats, coastal ships and regional flights connects cities, islands and coastal communities, while professional local tour operators offer an extraordinary choice of Arctic experiences throughout the year.
You might start in Tromsø, combining Arctic nature with city life, culture and attractions such as Fjellheisen. Travel north to Alta for a different Arctic character, or south through Senja, where dramatic scenery meets small coastal communities. Narvik is developing into an exciting hub for skiing, winter adventures and mountain experiences, while Vesterålen offers wildlife, coastal landscapes and another way into the islands. And then there is Lofoten — one of Northern Norway’s most iconic destinations, with mountains rising directly from the sea, fishing villages and extraordinary coastal scenery.
And those are only some of the possibilities.
When you’re spoilt for choice, where do you start?
Which destinations should you combine? How many nights should you spend in each place? Should you travel by car, bus, boat or coastal ship? Which experiences are worth building the journey around? And could a less obvious route give you an even better trip?
That is where Hinnøya Travel comes in.

What Your Travel Plan Covers
Your Route
We’ll recommend which destinations to combine, the order in which to visit them and how to distribute your available nights — including alternative routes or stops where they add value.
Getting Around
We’ll identify practical ways to connect your journey using buses, ferries, express boats, Coastal Express services, flights, rental cars or guided transport — and recommend the options that work best.
Places to Stay
We’ll recommend accommodation and overnight bases, considering budget, location, transport connections and access to the experiences you want to include.
Things to Do
We’ll recommend experiences worth considering, from Northern Lights and wildlife to dog sledding, skiing, fjord trips, hiking, culture and local food — matched to when and where you travel.
Flexibility & Contingencies
We’ll highlight what should be booked early, what can remain flexible and where weather or transport disruption deserves a practical alternative.
Beyond the Obvious
If you want to explore beyond the best-known destinations, we’ll suggest regional routes, coastal communities and lesser-known places that fit naturally into your journey.
Booking Information
We’ll provide the practical information and relevant booking options you need. You choose what to book and pay for each travel service separately.

Our travel knowledge extends across Northern Norway — including Bodø, Lofoten, Vesterålen, Narvik, Harstad, Senja, Tromsø, Alta and beyond.

Made for Independent Travellers
The Personal Northern Norway Travel Plan is for travellers who want the freedom to arrange their own journey, with local expertise to help shape it.
It is particularly useful when you’re:
-
combining several Northern Norway destinations
-
deciding which places deserve your available time
-
choosing between driving and public transport
-
planning a winter journey
-
exploring beyond the best-known destinations
-
deciding what to book in advance and what to keep flexible
You don’t need to arrive with a finished plan.
You might know exactly which places you want to visit, have a collection of ideas that need bringing together, or simply know that you want to experience Northern Norway. “I’m open to suggestions” is a perfectly good starting point.
Already know exactly what you want?
You may not need personal travel planning. Our destination guides, route guides and Things to Do pages can help you plan independently.

Tell Us About Your Northern Norway Journey
You don’t need to have your journey figured out before you start.
Tell us what you already know — your dates, the places you’re considering, what you’d like to experience and how you prefer to travel. If you’re unsure about some of the answers, that’s fine. Exploring those possibilities is part of the planning process.
If you’ve already booked flights, accommodation, transport or activities, have those details available if possible.
