Express boat

The Nordland Express (NEX1) is the regional express boat. It calls at Støtt several times a day. In addition, the local speedboat also calls at Støtt several times a day. Between these, Støtt Old Trading Post enjoys excellent communications with Bodø, Ørnes and other places on the Helgeland coast.

It is surprisingly easy to get to your destination of choice on the Helgeland coast – namely Støtt. On average, travel takes less than three hours from one of the major towns in the region.

Treat yourself to a scenic adventure – experience the world’s most beautiful coastline!

Island hopping in Helgeland

It has never been easier or more convenient to visit the spectacular highlights along the Helgeland coast. The Nordland Express (NEX1s) offers summer schedules that service many ports of call, from the town of Sandnessjøen in the south to Bodø in the north. Think of this boat ride as a scenic adventure along the most beautiful coastline in the world!

There is no need to hurry. You can divide up this journey, hopping from island to island at your own pace. Along the Helgeland coast, there are many islands and archipelagos worth exploring.

With Travel Pass Nordland you can travel as much as you want by express boat, ferry and bus for a whole week within Nordland County – and at a very favourable price.
