Destination Harstad official travel guide

Official touristinformation for: Harstad, Kvæfjord, Bjarkøy, Tjeldsund, Skånland.

Summer activities

Long, bright days and nights are perfect if you like hiking in forests and mountains. We can recommend hikes on marked trails from cabin to cabin under the direction of Harstad Turlag, the local hiking association. Participate in "10 på Topp", a mountain hiking initiative comprising marked routes to 10 mountain summits of various levels of difficulty.

The Harstad Tourist Information Office has maps and descriptions of various mountain hikes of varying levels of difficulty.

Combine cycle and boat for a journey of discovery to the fantastic island kingdom in the archipelago. Ferries and express boats offer connections with the islands of Bjarkøy and Krøttøy.

You are welcome to join us on our organised fishing trips or to play golf at Røkenes Manor.
