Lofotcruise - sightseeing

The picture above shows one of the small tourist boats at the harbour of Svolvær. During the summer, you may go onboard small ships like this one to take a trip nearby.Tickets may be bought at the harbour or most likely at the tourist information in the white building in the background. It seems like the most popular trips go to Trollfjorden where you can watch eagles and other birds - or the Hurtigruten ship turning in the really narrow fjord. At least in Norway, Trollfjorden is famous for "The battle of Trollfjorden", an "incident" in 1890 when fishermen of small rowing boats attacked bigger steam boats that tried to keep them off fishing in the fjord. In the summer, Hurtigruten takes a small detour inside Trollfjorden.  I haven't been there myself, but Trollfjorden is said to be very beautiful.
