Scenic Fjord Drive with Elgsnes Beach stay
By Hinnøya Travel
Discover fjords, coastal landscapes and Arctic communities on a scenic summer journey from Harstad, combined with a relaxing beach stay at Elgsnes.
Experience a quieter side of Northern Norway on a scenic coastal journey through the landscapes surrounding Harstad and Hinnøya.
This private small-group excursion follows a carefully selected route through fjords, farmland and local communities, offering a glimpse into everyday life along the Arctic coast. Along the way, guests travel through landscapes shaped by fishing, farming and generations of coastal traditions.
Transportation is provided by private taxi, creating a comfortable and flexible travel experience.
The route includes a scenic photo stop at Aunfjellet, where panoramic views open across the surrounding fjords, mountains and coastline. Weather permitting, there is time to step outside, enjoy the scenery and capture photographs before continuing towards Elgsnes.
The tour culminates at Elgsnes Beach, a peaceful coastal location overlooking the sea towards Andøya. Here, guests spend approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes by the shoreline with access to a traditional North Norwegian boathouse that serves as a comfortable gathering place throughout the visit.
A local host welcomes guests at Elgsnes and is available during the beach and boathouse stay. Enjoy refreshments, light snacks, fresh Arctic sea air and time to explore the beach, observe local birdlife or simply relax while taking in the coastal scenery.
Designed for travellers seeking a slower pace and authentic coastal surroundings, this experience combines scenic driving, Arctic landscapes and meaningful time by the sea away from the busiest tourist routes.
