Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book the guided fishing trip with Aqua Lofoten well ahead -- the "Trio" boat has limited capacity and fills up fast in summer.
  2. 2Check the export quota rules (15 kg fish/fish products per person aged 12+) before heading home -- the 2026 rules apply from registered tourist fishing businesses.
  3. 3Reine is 60 km from Leknes airport along the E10 -- a rental car is recommended for reaching the property and trips around Moskenes.
