Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Ready-Made Journey and Personal Travel Planning?
Ready-Made Journeys are practical itineraries you can follow independently, with suggested routes, overnight bases, transport and experiences. Personal Travel Planning is for travellers who want a journey adapted around their own dates, available time, destinations, interests and preferred way of travelling.
Can I change one of the Ready-Made Journeys?
Yes. Use the itinerary as a starting point and book the individual elements that suit you. If you want help changing the route, adding destinations or deciding how many nights to spend in each place, Personal Travel Planning can help you create your own version.
Can I book tours and accommodation with Hinnøya Travel?
Yes. Selected tours, activities and accommodation can be booked through Hinnøya Travel. If you already know what you want, go directly to Book Tours & Stays.
Is transport included when I book accommodation or activities?
Not unless it is specifically stated as included in the product or package. Regional buses, airport buses, express boats, flights and Coastal Express journeys may need to be booked separately. Always check the individual booking information before purchasing.
What if I know which destinations I want to visit but not how to connect them?
This is exactly what Personal Travel Planning is designed for. Hinnøya Travel can help you decide the order of your destinations, realistic overnight bases, how long to stay and whether travelling by car, public transport or a combination works best for your journey.
Can Hinnøya Travel book my complete Northern Norway journey?
Not yet as a complete tailor-made journey. Hinnøya Travel currently offers Ready-Made Journeys, Personal Travel Planning and selected bookable tours, activities and accommodation. A more complete Tailor-Made Travel service is coming soon.
