Getting There & Away
In summer, bus 510 shuttles between Svolvær (40 minutes), Kabelvåg (35 minutes) and
Henningsvær 10 times on weekdays (three services Saturday and Sunday).
BREAKING FREE FROM THE E10
Instead of continuing to roll along the E10 as it snakes its way through the heart of
Vestvågøy island, take the even more attractive, much less travelled and only slightly
longer Rv815. It starts just beyond the bridge that links Austvågøy, runs southwest-
wards for 28km and rejoins the E10 at Leknes. For the most part it hugs the shoreline
with sheer mountains rearing to landward.
