Båtsfjord

Norway´s Fishing Capital

Fjord of the Boats – with fish and seagulls, waterfront life, stunning nature, and fascinating history.

Båtsfjord provides an excellent starting point for cycling along the Arctic Coastline. Here, you’ll find fisherman’s cabins, hotels, shops, and eateries, making it easy to prepare for a longer ride. The harbor is bustling with activity, filled with fishing boats, as many locals work here daily. If you have the time, consider cycling the roughly 30 kilometers to Syltefjord, a small, abandoned fishing village that fills with holiday visitors during the summer and offers camping accommodations.

From Båtsfjord to Berlevåg, you’ll cycle through spectacular landscapes along the Arctic Coast. The route takes you over mountains where nature is at its most majestic. After about 58 kilometers, you’ll reach Kongsfjord, a charming village with a guesthouse, local grocery store, and art gallery. Known for its rich bird life, Kongsfjord is an ideal spot to rest overnight for those who want to take a slower pace before continuing toward Berlevåg.

This journey between Båtsfjord and Berlevåg offers unforgettable nature experiences, perfect for those wanting to explore Northern Norway from the seat of a bicycle.

Midnight Sun between May 15 and July 30.
