Hotels near Florø Airport
Central Florø
Taxi Florø from the centre to the airport in 5-10 minutes; no dedicated shuttle, but the distances are minimal.
Best for: Those who want the harbour, the ferries and the town centre a short walk away, with the airport a 5-10 minute taxi ride.
- Harbour, ferry terminal and the shopping street of Strandgata within walking distance
- More price ranges to choose from, from the B&B to the hotel with fjord views
- In high season rooms sell out fast because of the offshore helicopter shift changes
- Limited evening life compared to bigger Norwegian cities, being a town of about 8,000 residents
Recommended hotels

Krokane, on the fjord
About 2 km from central Florø and 4 km from the airport, so 5-10 minutes by car or taxi in either case.
Best for: Those coming for fishing or wanting a longer stay in a cabin on the fjord, a few minutes from both the centre and the airport.
- Cabins and apartments on the fjord with an outdoor pool, more spacious than a hotel room
- Among the highest ratings in the area, frequented mostly by those coming for the fishing
- You need a car to get around: no shops or restaurants within easy reach as in the centre
- Designed for multi-night stays, less suited to those stopping only for a layover

Frequently asked questions
Q. Why is Florø considered Norway's westernmost town?
It faces directly onto the open North Atlantic Ocean, amid the coastal mountains, in an extreme geographical position compared to the rest of the country.
Q. Is Florø linked to the oil industry?
Yes, it's an important centre for offshore operations on Norway's west coast, with airport traffic partly linked to this sector.
Q. Is Florø airport used more by tourists or offshore workers?
Mainly the latter: most flights, almost all connecting via Bergen, follow the shift patterns of oil platform staff rather than tourist flows to the nearby archipelagos.
Q. Is Florø a good starting point for the nearby archipelagos?
Yes, the area offers access to coastal islands and archipelagos less trodden by tourism than the more famous major fjords.
