What we like about Buodden Rorbuer
- ✓Family-run operator with its own fishing boat and RIB fleet, so fishing trips and guiding can be booked through one provider
- ✓Short walk to Sørvågen village shops while the cabins themselves stay quiet right at the waterfront
- ✓Location at the southern end of Lofoten gives short access to Moskenesstraumen, Lofotodden National Park and hiking peaks
Worth knowing
- !Only 5 units in total, so high season June to August books up early
- !Approx. 70 km drive from Leknes airport along the E10 to Moskenes
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Book a fishing trip on Trio II or a RIB tour to Moskenesstraumen at the same time as the cabin, so both are secured for the same week.
- 2The Bodø-Moskenes ferry terminal is about 5 minutes away, which combines well with a road trip through Lofoten on the E10.
- 3Check the 15 kg per person (age 12+) fish export quota before traveling home -- a guided trip via a registered provider doubles the quota to 30 kg.
