The fishing villages with rorbu fishermen&#8217;s cabins, jetties, fish landing stations, village owners&#8217; houses and fish-drying racks all face the sea, so a kayak gives you a perfect view. The water is calm between the islets, skerries and sheltered bays, with plenty of lovely places to go ashore. These days, most people see Lofoten from the road, but its best side is definitely from the sea. You can easily pull your kayak up onto the beach and then spend an hour or two climbing one of the relatively easy peaks for a bird&#8217;s eye view of the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kayaking-through-the-maelstrom\">Kayaking through the maelstrom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rough outer coast of Moskenes\u00f8ya is a challenge reserved for only the best kayakers. The trip takes four days, going from Fredvang at the north-east tip of the island, around Lofotodden to Reine, along a completely uninhabited coast. You&#8217;re at the edge of the Atlantic here, and the coast is mainly mountainsides rising almost vertically up to 1000 m (3200 ft). If you capsize here, there&#8217;s no way of getting back to shore, so you need to be able to get back in the kayak unassisted. Local knowledge is vital for safety, so you should only come here with a local guide. There are a few places to get ashore, where you will spend the night. However, the legendary Moskstraumen, or Maelstrom in the works of Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe, is not an impossible challenge if you paddle close to the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.16.40.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.16.40.jpg\" alt=\"Red rorbuer mirroring in the water \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.16.40.jpg\" data-caption=\"Red rorbuer mirroring in the water \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.05.00.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.05.00-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"In the winter, there are plenty others out at sea \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.05.00.jpg\" data-caption=\"In the winter, there are plenty others out at sea \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.18.25.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.18.25-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Winter kayaking in wonderful light \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bilde-28.12.2015-12.18.25.jpg\" data-caption=\"Winter kayaking in wonderful light \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Red rorbuer mirroring in the water \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: In the winter, there are plenty others out at sea \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Winter kayaking in wonderful light \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winter-kayaking-from-hattvika\">Winter kayaking from Hattvika<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even kayak along Lofoten&#8217;s inner shore in winter. Lofoten fishery is at its peak from January to April and the fishing villages are bustling. Boats go out in the morning, return before dark and then the fish are hung on racks. However, winter kayaking is much more difficult than summer kayaking, and the outer coast is now completely out of bounds. Hattvika Lodge in Ballstad offers accommodation and short kayaking trips or longer weekend trips or expeditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bring-your-friends-to-hattvika\">Bring your friends to Hattvika<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hattvik is the perfect place to come with your friends for a weekend. You can begin your Friday evening with some easy kayaking out in the archipelago beside Hattvika, giving your guide a chance to assess your skills. Early risers on Saturday morning will see the sunrise in the east and the mountains bathed in the dawn light. Then you can kayak east, toward Sennes and Mortsund, pull your kayaks ashore and hike up one of the peaks. From 540-metre-high Nonstind (1772 ft) on Vestv\u00e5g\u00f8y, you can see most of Nordland, from B\u00f8rvasstindan behind Bod\u00f8, out to Nykan off the coast of R\u00f8stlandet. On Sunday, the tour heads west across Nappstraumen to Flakstad\u00f8ya, where you can visit picturesque Nusfjord and enjoy lunch at the excellent restaurant. Delicious local seafood and a hot tub make Hattvika Lodge a superb base for a kayaking weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reinefjorden_PSX_20150805_191425.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reinefjorden_PSX_20150805_191425.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reinefjorden_PSX_20150805_191425.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Hattvika Lodge\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg.jpg\" data-size=\"1207x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg-768x509.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg_kajakk-og-bilder.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg_kajakk-og-bilder-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Christoffer-Forsberg_kajakk-og-bilder.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: \u00a9 Hattvika Lodge<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: \u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: \u00a9 Christoffer Forsberg<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kayak-camping\">Kayak camping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hattvika Lodge also organises kayak camping throughout the summer season, and individuals and couples are welcome.

Real experts can sign up for the challenging trip around Moskenes\u00f8ya. At the opposite end of the scale are beginners&#8217; courses, which are organised jointly with tour operator Hvitserk and can qualify you for a Kayak license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\" alignwide wp-block-vnn-booking\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lofoten.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lofoten-info\">Lofoten Info <\/h2>\n\n<p>Your partner for information and booking in the Lofoten Islands is the official tourist information centre. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button link-to-booking-provider-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/lofoten.info\/Visitlofoten\">Go to Lofoten Info<\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":865,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","vnn_header_layout":"featured","vnn_header_layout_image_id":861,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_x":0.5,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_y":0.5,"vnn_header_layout_description":"","vnn_header_layout_url":"","vnn_header_layout_url_text":"","vnn_header_layout_photographer":"Kristin Folsland Olsen","vnn_header_layout_video_id":"","vnn_header_layout_yt_id":"","vnn_header_layout_vimeo_id":"","teft_location_geodata_lat":68.071373,"teft_location_geodata_lng":13.53823,"teft_cards_image_id":865,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_x":0.5,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_y":0.5,"teft_cards_title":"","teft_cards_excerpt":"","footnotes":""},"todo":[2,3,4],"facilities":[5],"season":[6,8,7,16],"region":[9],"malgrupper":[10,11,12],"class_list":["post-12","aktiviteter","type-aktiviteter","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","todo-activities","todo-kayaking","todo-watersports","facilities-groups","season-autumn","season-spring","season-summer","season-winter","region-lofoten","malgrupper-friendship-bonder","malgrupper-nature-specialist","malgrupper-romantic-indulger"],"feature_media_url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/006913_Kristin-Folsland-Olsen_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg","vnn_map_marker_category":{"id":4,"name":"Watersports","slug":"watersports","icon":"","parentIcon":"","parent":"Activities"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kayaking in Lofoten - From calm to challenging waters - Visit Northern Norway<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kayaking in Lofoten can be plain sailing in midnight sun, or a rough challenge on the open Atlantic.
