Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the Helgeland archipelago, showcasing thousands of islands, the UNESCO-listed Vega archipelago, and the striking geological transition to the Norwegian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of thousands of tiny islands and traditional eider duck houses.

⛰️

Leka Island

Norway's Geological National Monument, famous for its unique red and yellow serpentinite rock formations.

🌊

Helgelandskysten

One of the world's most beautiful coastlines, featuring a massive labyrinth of islets and turquoise waters.

🌅

Norwegian Sea

The vast horizon where the shallow coastal waters drop off into the deep blue of the North Atlantic.

✈️

Vikna Archipelago

The dense cluster of islands surrounding Rørvik, visible during the low-altitude final approach.

The right side is spectacular for seeing the 'skjærgård' (archipelago). Afternoon flights offer stunning reflections on the water and better lighting for the western islands. Because these flights are typically operated by Widerøe's Dash-8 at lower altitudes, the detail of the islands is exceptional.

Left Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Okstindan Range

Visible to the east shortly after takeoff, featuring Oksskolten, the highest peak in Northern Norway.

👯‍♀️

De Syv Søstre

The iconic Seven Sisters mountain range near Sandnessjøen, looking like a row of giant peaks along the coast.

🕳️

Torghatten

The legendary mountain with a natural hole clean through its center, visible as you fly past Brønnøysund.

🌲

Vefsnfjorden

A deep, dramatic fjord cutting into the mainland with steep forested walls.

Choose the left side for dramatic mountain photography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern mountain faces. Keep your camera ready as you pass Sandnessjøen for the best angle of the Seven Sisters peaks.
