Episode 03: Helgelandskysten: Archipelago Adventures
PLACES TO STAY
Nordvaer
Why not stay onboard your own chartered sailboat and explore Norways most beautiful archipelago.Nordvær offers private sailing journeys through the wild islands of Northern Norway, where small groups of guests explore the Arctic coast from the comfort of a modern 51 feet catamaran. Eric and Marte will take your through land and sea adventures move through a landscape of exclusive experiences, delicious food, and the ever-changing colours of the North.
Skolo
An old school on the small island of Seløy was Ingrid and Remi´s dream for making a small hotel and a lively restaurant. You can stay here or you can come for fun activities and the northern informal atmosphere.
Lovund Hotel
This is our favourite hotel in all of Norway. A modern and luxurious small hotel with greta food and wonderful views on the buzzling island of Lovund. Salmon farming has made Lovund into a thriving society where the puffin also feels at home. Seafood at Lovund Hotel is worth the trip to this outlayer island in itself. The best way to get there is with the regional public boat service which calls on Lovund and many other gems in this unique archipelago ( like Støtt from our season one). Do not worry, all rooms have great views.
Havila Voyages
WHERE TO EAT AND EXPLORE
Svang
In the coastal town of Brønnlysund the three celebrity chefs from the capital, Maciej, Atle and Mario has started Svang, a welcoming, cosy restaurant with great food. In a very short time Svang has become the talk of the Helgeland coast. It is not the kind of restaurant you wood expect to find in a small costal town. You will enjoy it.
Raus Brewery
On the very quay where Havila calls on port an enthusiastic bunch of friends have started Raus Brewery. In Norwegian Raus means generous. Lovely beer, great people and a local touch on their brew. Pop by and get a sample.
