Day 1 : Arrival at Svolvaer airport

  • Welcome to Lofoten Islands! Airport transfer. Hotel check in.
    Northern light tour in evening. The Lofoten Islands is situated right under the Northern Lights oval, which means there are good chances to catch glimpses of the lady Aurora when here. Our trip mainly take you to those parts of the island where there are better chances to see it and the light pollution is minimal. Our Northern light guide is an experienced photographer, and will make sure that you learn the necessary techniques to catch the Aurora Borealis on your camera.

Day 2 : Lofoten Islands

  • Lofoten in a nutshell: Our host will guide you through the picturesque landscape by minivan, typical for the Lofoten islands. Along the way we stop at historical sites, beaches and the mandatory photo stops that you cannot miss in Kabelvåg, Lyngvær, Hov and Henningsvær. You can sit back in a comfortable van and enjoy the scenery while we introduce you to the fishing culture and history, plus a taste of Lofoten. As the day unfolds, we venture into the wild heart of Lofoten's countryside, where the rugged beauty of the Arctic landscape can be admired. Our final stop is Gimsøy Church, a historic landmark dating back to the 12th century. This charming wooden church exudes serenity and tranquillity, set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains.

Day 3 : Lofoten Islands

  • Sea Eagle Safari to Trollfjorden: A trip made for nature enthusiasts! You get the chance to see sea eagles and experience some of the most scenic landscapes in Lofoten. The tour starts from the quayside in Svolvær. We will take you through Raftsundet before we enter Trollfjorden. This is some of the most dramatic scenery that Norway has to offer. There is a large population of sea eagles in the area, and one of the highlights is without a doubt when a sea eagle circles a few meters above your head.
  • Snow shoe easy hiking: As the winter season peaks, everything, including the barrens, woods, and forests in Lofoten gets draped in layers of white powder snow. It’s the perfect time to put on your hiking outfit and surround yourself with the tranquillity of endless snow-covered lands.
