Day 1:Set Sail into the Unknown

Your adventure begins in Kabelvåg as you step aboard Norrøna Varg S/Y and meet your crew and fellow travelers. Meeting time is at 10 AM. After a short introduction and safety briefing, we hoist the sails and set course for our first hidden destination. Cruising through dramatic fjords, past towering cliffs and remote shores, we navigate toward a place few have seen. Upon arrival, we step ashore for a scenic hike, following trails that lead to breathtaking viewpoints over the wild, untouched landscapes. As the day winds down, we unwind with a sauna and spa experience in a secluded bay. A gourmet dinner is served onboard, and the evening is spent under the open sky, with only the sound of the sea surrounding us.

Day 2:Kayaking, Freediving & Island Hikes

We wake up in a pristine anchorage, surrounded by the stillness of nature. After breakfast, the day is open for exploration and adventure. Whether we choose to dive into the clear Arctic waters for freediving, or take a dinghy ride to explore a remote island on foot, this day is about discovery and connection with the elements. After a full day of adventure, we return to the boat for another round of sauna and relaxation, soaking in the wild beauty of the Norwegian coast. As the sun lowers, we gather for a well-earned dinner onboard, sharing stories of the day’s experiences before settling in for another peaceful night at anchor.

Day 3:Hike & A Meaningful Farewell

As we sail towards our final stop, we arrive at a legendary coastal village, where a final hike awaits. The climb rewards us with panoramic views over the rugged coastline, offering one last moment to take in the raw beauty of Lofoten. Before heading back to Kabelvåg, we take part in a kelp forest restoration project, contributing to the preservation of Lofoten’s fragile marine ecosystem. With the journey coming to an end, we sail back to port, filled with memories of hidden places, untouched landscapes, and the magic of life at sea.
