Introducing Andenes
This straggling village has a rich fishing history and is northern Norway’s main base for whale-watching. The harbour front is a charming jumble of wooden boat sheds and general nautical detritus.

Its tourist office (76 14 12 03; www.andoyturist.no; Hamnegata 1; 10am-6pm mid-Jun–Aug, 9am-4pm Mon-Fri rest-of-year) covers the whole island and shares premises with the Hisnakul Natural History Centre. It produces a leaflet in English, Andanes Vær (Nkr35), which outlines a walking tour of the old quarter. There’s internet access (Nkr60 per hour) and it rents bikes (Nkr100/175 per three-hours/day).
Yanthi (75 91 75 75; Storgata 2) has three internet terminals (Nkr25 per 30 minutes) and brews good coffee.
