Cycling around Bodø
Bodø is the perfect starting point for your cycle adventure, and with Fly and Bike you can start as soon as you arrive.
Take a trip to the magical island of Kjerringøy, said to be one of Norway’s – and the world´s – most beautiful biking routes. On your way you’ll have an undisturbed view of the ocean, and in the distance you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the great Lofoten archipelago and the island of Landegode.
This is an easy trip suitable for everyone, as it only has two short uphill climbs. The trip should take about 2-2,5 hours to complete, including a 10 minute ferry crossing.
Just outside of Bodø, a stunningly beautiful archipelago awaits. The islands are located one to two miles from the shore, and can be reached by boat from the centre of Bodø. This is a perfect escape if you like to tune into nature and leave the world behind.
Don't miss out on Langsanden, a spectacular white, sandy beach on the island of Sandhornøya. Another must see stop along the way is the view from the hilltops of Kleivan. They offer an amazing overview of the islands.
When in Bodø, don’t miss out on these popular highlights:
The strongest maelstrom on the planet
Once you're in Bodø, you're in a perfect location to explore further afield. Why not spend five or six days on the bike to go and see the Svartisen glacier, which is Norway's second largest? You can also try the recommended three day trip to the archipelago in Gildeskål. On this trip you’ll get to visit an interesting Medieval church, see rare orchids and have close contact with the ever popular Norwegian salmon. Saltstraumen, the world’s strongest maelstrom is also located along this route.
