Travelling from Tromso to Lofoten Islands

I'll be travelling from Tromso to Lofoten Islands in March. What's the cheapest way?? I heard there's busses that goes there daily. Or is it cheaper by boat??

PS if it were me, I'd book Hurtigruten.

I would go there by Hurtigruten as well (stunning scenery). As it is less than 24hours, if you are young and/or brave, you can buy just a foot passenger ticket (no cabin) and get some rest in a lounge if you can. You will save on one hotel night and the foot passenger ticket is a lot cheaper. Treat yourself to the breakfast buffet (it will keep you fed well past lunchtime).

Even if you take a sleeping bag or whatever and crash in the lounge, if it's quiet, like, at night, no one will disturb you. Lots of students who study in Tromsø and live in North Norway, travel like that.

March is winter - public transport on Lofoten is limited. How are you going to travel around when you are there and why go there in winter - this is not hiking season.
