Island hopping by bike<\/h1>\n\n\n

If you go island hopping, you need to visit at least two islands to keep your word. We have selected a bunch of islands that you can visit by combining express boat and bike. While none of these islands have very long stretches, your bike will come in handy when you want to explore the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the islands that you must visit!<\/h1>\n\n\n

See the map and scroll down for our route description and all the places we recommend stopping along this cycling route

The islands we recommend are all situated along the southern part of the coast in Salten \u2013 in the municipalities of Gildesk\u00e5l, Mel\u00f8y and R\u00f8d\u00f8y. As the public transport is often designed for those who live out on the islands, we recommend planning well and including an overnight stay or two on each island. This way you won\u2019t miss anything.<\/p>\n\n\n
