Bjarkøya downtown guest pier, picture by Cybèle 17

Bjarkøya is located between Andfjorden to the northwest and Vågsfjorden to the southeast.

Cybele 17 went 3 times there!

There are two guest pier, one the west in the protected bay (electricity, water, grocery, shelter++) and one 800 metres to the east on a pontoon protected by a jetty: the old harbour, without electricity but with nice facilities.

A lot of Hikes!

Also go north-west to see a very nice cliff full of thousand of birds

Getting there

By commercial transport

Several rotations of ferry are connecting Bjarkøya with the mainland to Harstad.

See the ferry timetable here...

By own boat

The pontoon on the west of the bay is more central but has only three berth. 100 NOK for the night, with water and electricity, but no other facilities.
