Creator's Key Takeaways

Ever since Lefotan randomly showed up one day on our computer wallpaper, we have had this destination on our bucket list.

It's so pretty even on a gloomy day.

The views are gorgeous, so even if you don't fish, the boat ride alone is enough reason to join the tour.

This remote little island across from Scroa is truly a paradise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Layer up underneath fishing bibs, wear rain boots, and take Dramamine for the fishing tour.
Leave your car in Svolvaer when taking the free ferry to Skrova in summer.
Be aware of the turn on the hike; it's very overgrown and easy to miss.
