Skrova Boat Trip &
Island Hike

Leave Kabelvåg by boat and set course for Skrova, a small island surrounded by turquoise water, white-sand beaches and views across the Lofoten mountains.

After arriving on the island, continue on foot with your guide for a scenic hike before returning to Kabelvåg by boat.

FROM SEA TO SUMMIT

Experience Skrova by Boat and on Foot

The adventure begins on the water. From Kabelvåg, we cross to Skrova by boat, with views back towards the mountains of Lofoten as we approach the island.

Once ashore, we continue on foot. The trail takes us through Skrova’s coastal landscape and up to viewpoints overlooking the surrounding islands, beaches and open sea.

With around three hours on the island, there is time to hike and take in the views before we return by boat.

THE ISLAND

A Different Side of Lofoten

Skrova sits just off the coast of Lofoten, surrounded by open sea and with the mountains of Austvågøya rising across the water.

The island is known for its small fishing community, white-sand beaches and views that stretch across the surrounding sea and mountains. With no road connection to the rest of Lofoten, arriving by boat is part of what makes the experience special.

It feels noticeably different from the busier roads and villages of the main islands – and that is exactly why we like taking people there.

A fantastic experience with Hooked on Lofoten! We had five people on the boat, and the guide was absolutely great. Even though the fishing season is quite challenging right now, I managed to catch three large cod and several saithe. A really wonderful extra service at the end: the guide professionally gutted and cleaned the catch, so I was able to take the fish with me perfectly prepared to eat. Highly recommended!

He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and humorous and cooked us some fantastic fresh fish burgers for lunch. Would highly recommend this to anyone, whether beginner or more experienced! Thanks for the enjoyable day 😊 Linden, Kent & Yeen

Erland is an incredibly knowledgeable guy with bags of humour too - ask about his fish butchery! We got a unique experience that we won’t forget in a hurry. Top class, would recommend to anyone in Lofoten (and although not included, the sauna and dip in the sea after was the cherry on the top!). Also shout out to the Nyvågar restaurant and hotel staff who were top notch as well!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vi hadde en fantastisk fisketur med Erlend, som er en kjempe flink guide! Vi var heldig med været og alle sammen fikk flere fisker hver. Vi matet havørn med de minste fiskene, før vi dro inn til kai hvor Erlend viste oss hvordan man sløyer fisken. Vil i aller høysete grad anbefale denne turen!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a super day! Erland is very professional and a really nice guy! Talkative in a good and relaxed way and was both joking and telling anecdotes. After the fishing trip he instructed us how to take care of every part of the fish and cut up the fish for us. We also had the Hooked and cooked experience were Erland instructs the chef how he should serve every bit of the fish, and the chef at Nyvågar was incredible in making Erlands vision come to life. Amazing day and amazing dinner with our own fish! Worth every penny spent!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want a small group excursion with local guides, this is the place! I wish we’d found them sooner because this was by far our favorite experience in Lofoten. Erland was very genuine and knowledgeable, let us know what to expect, and was very kind and accommodating with our 4yo— even setting up a child’s fishing rod for him to use. Don’t skip the chef’s preparation, the food is incredible— and not just because you helped catch it!

Our day with Hooked on Lofoten was truly one of our best days in Norway. We cannot recommend this trip enough to people who want a great experience, whether you’re a fishing purist or a nature lover. Lasse was truly amazing, so knowledgeable and kind. He gave us an incredible day, and his cooking was top notch!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a couple of great days with Lasse and Eirik (separately) hiking & cycling. Both are clearly passionate about Lofoten, knowledgable and led our group confidently.
They’re also nice, respectful guys who felt like an extension of our group and were able to adapt to our needs easily- making for an even more enjoyable trip. Would book again if I’m ever lucky enough to be back in Lofoten ;)
