Steigen
Steigen
Steigen is often referred to as the most beautiful natural secret in Nordland. Steigen has very varied nature - spectacular mountains, views of the fjord, sea and the Lofoten wall, a unique archipelago with chalk white sand beaches and azure green waters and beautiful inland areas with river rapids, fishing lakes and valleys.
Nature offers great opportunities for activities: good fishing opportunities, marked hiking trails - both spectacular mountain walks and shorter child-friendly detours and a rich cultural life with both small and large cultural events

Bring your sea kayak or rent one from one of the many rental locations. Enjoy the azure green sea and find peace at sea. Kayak rental is available at Steigen Brygge, Nordskot Brygge, Manshausen and Naustholmen. You can also rent SUPs at Nordskot Brygge. -
Fishing and boat rental
Enjoy the ultimate Steigen experience by boat. See if the fish are biting, sunbathe on the deck, take a dip in the cold water and explore Steigen from the sea. You can rent a boat at Nordskot Brygge, Steigen Sjøhus, Steigen Brygge and Helnessund Brygge. Nordskot Brygge also offers RIB charters. -
Bike rental
Experience Steigen from the bike seat! Steigen pier (4), Steigen Sjøhus (8) and Helnessund Brygge (8) have bikes available for rent. -
Visit one of Steigen’s beautiful beaches
The two most beautiful beaches are Bøsanden on the island of Engeløya and Brennviksanden in Helnessund. Long sand dunes and slightly cold water await here (but it’s so beautiful that you almost forget this). Remember to clean up after you and take your rubbish with you, so that the next visitors can have the same enjoyable nature-based experience as you. (Brennviksanden is a nature reserve, so camping and campfires are prohibited on and around the beach, but you are welcome to swim as much as you wish!). -
