Winter Adventure in Lofoten

We meet at the airport in Svolvær in the afternoon before we drive to our accommodation for the next two nights, Skårungen, just outside of Kabelvåg. We check into our rooms and have dinner together in the evening. The guide will go through the program with you and clarify any questions you may have before the trip really kicks off tomorrow.

After a hearty breakfast at our accommodation, we drive to Svolvær to join a spectacular sea eagle safari to Trollfjorden. With RIB, we whiz away on the Arctic waters before we reach one of the narrowest fjord arms in our country. Along the way, we keep an eye out for the majestic sea eagle that frequents the area. Back on land, we go south towards Henningsvær, one of Lofoten's most beautiful and well-kept fishing villages. We spend a couple of hours here before we drive back to Skårungen in the afternoon. A nice dinner is enjoyed at the hotel restaurant before we spend the evening looking for the northern lights (as long as the weather is on our side).

Ready for an extraordinary experience? Today we will take part in traditional Lofoten fishing! From Svolvær we once again go out to sea, this time to catch one of Norway's oldest export products, cod. We spend a couple of hours at sea before going back to the mainland. From Svolvær we drive further south to Vestvågøy where we will spend the next three nights at the gorgeous Hattvika Lodge in Ballstad. Before we get there, however, we go to Haukland to walk the coastal road to Uttakleiv and back. The road goes all the way down by the water's edge and gives us an unbeatable view of both the Lofoten mountains and the endless sea outside of the archipelago. Back again at Hauklandstranda, you will hopefully take on today's biggest challenge - a very refreshing swim in the Arctic ocean! After checking into Hattvika Lodge in the afternoon a delicious dinner awaits us in the evening. Maybe we finish it up with some more Northern Lights after dinner?

We eat breakfast at Hattvika Lodge before we will embark on a beautiful kayak trip among islets and reefs. After five hours on the water, we drive towards Nusfjord, a small but very cozy fishing village that is wedged between steep mountainsides and the vast arctic ocean. We spend some time walking around the village, maybe enjoying a small lunch, or a refreshing drink before we drive back to Hattvika Lodge. In the evening we eat dinner together before spending the last hours outside if there is a chance to see the Northern Lights.

On our last full day in Lofoten, we will spend the hours going on a snowshoe hike among spectacular mountains. Where the trip goes, how high up we have the opportunity to go, and how far we can go will depend on the weather and wind conditions, but we can promise you a fantastic experience! After many hours outside we return to our accommodation for some relaxing hours in the afternoon. Maybe we can tempt you with a dip in the hot tub to calm down your sore muscles? In the evening we enjoy our last dinner together before checking the conditions for the Northern Lights. 

After breakfast and check-out, it is, unfortunately, time to head towards Svolvær Airport for departure from Lofoten. We hope that the week we have spent together in this beautiful archipelago will give you lifelong memories and dreams of new visits! If you have fallen in love with Northern Norway and do not want to leave it, we can of course help you in planning further travel arrangements as well...
