The Havøysund Tourist Road is one of the lesser-known tourist roads, but is probably one of my favourites. The landscape is so barren and remote, creating a unique experience as you drive along the rocky landscape along the Arctic Ocean. There aren’t so many places to stop or pass through; what makes this drive wonderful is exactly how remote and rugged it is. And just as you think you’ve arrived at the end of the world, you turn the corner and there is the charming village of Havøysund.

I filmed this drive in October 2021 all the way from Kautokeino to Havoysund. The first part of the drive follows the E45, while the second part of the video follows the tourist road.
