If you take the ferry from Bodø, it will deposit you at Moskenes. There's a cafe and a small tourist information office, and if you are on foot (as I was), you can catch one of the regular buses that will either take you south to Å or northwards to Reine) - or eventually all the way up to Svolvaer.

Many people arrive to Lofoten as a part of their cruise along the Norwegian shore with the Coastal steamer (Hurtigruten)
In addition to being touristic and most comfortable cruise ships the "Hurtigruten" also plays an important role as everyday transportation, connecting the
places along the shore for the local people.
So it is possible to go by Hurtigruten for just a single distance as well, in this case from the mainland (Bodø) to Lofoten, where the ships visits the harbours Stamsund and Svolvær. The voyage Bodø-Stamsund takes a little less than 4 hours.
The ships which are in traffic now are all new and luxurious, and have place for 50 cars on their car-deck. It's wise to order in advance during high-season to be sure they have place for your car.

A bicycle holiday through Lofoten is a recommendable way to explore the beauty of the landscape and the contrasts between the different islands. All the islands now are connected by bridges (except the more distant isles Værøy and Røst)
The bus connections are good to get around.
