How to travel to the River of Reisa
The fastest way from Oslo Gardermoen to Nordreisa
If you travel from abroad or the southern part of Norway, the shortest journey is by plane from Oslo (Gardermoen) to Tromsø. Flight lasts approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, and both SAS and Norwegian flies this route several times daily. From Tromsø to Sørkjosen you can travel with Widerøe twice daily. Flights from Tromsø to Nordreisa take about 20 min. This means an effective travel time from Oslo to Sørkjosen of about 2.5 hours. Normally you need to calculate some latency at Tromsø airport, so the actual travel time will vary depending on how the correspondence is. In Nordreisa it is possible to rent a car at Storslett Auto. 
If rental car is not an option, it is also possible to take a bus from Alta to Storslett. Remember camera! You will travel through beautiful scenery, including driving through the beautiful Kvænangen council, and pass one of Norway's most spectacular mountain passes, Kvænangsfjellet.
One option is to run the stretch Tromsø-Norkjosbotn (E8)-Skibotn-Kåfjord-Nordreisa (E6). The distance is approximately 240 km, and lasts approximately 3 hours and 15 min.
Alternatively, it is possible to travel from Tromsø to Nordreisa with the car, and take the ferry over Ullsfjorden and Lyngen Fjord. This trip also takes about 3,5 hour, but the distance of this stretch is about 140 km. Effective traveling from Oslo Gardermoen Airport is approximately 5 hours and 10 min. There are also daily bus services on this route. Also on these trips the camera is obligatory!
