Embark on an eight-day exploration of arguably Norway's most captivating archipelago, where we have carefully curated the finest hikes, iconic viewpoints, and hidden gems. Lofoten's landscape is a symphony of dramatic mountains, expansive white beaches, tumultuous seas, and thriving wildlife, providing unparalleled experiences of Norwegian nature at its zenith.
In Lofoten, the midnight sun graces the skies from late May to the end of July, creating a spectacle as the warm sun hovers perpetually above the horizon. Come August, the sun sets around 10:30 pm, casting a lingering light throughout the day. By September, the tableau shifts, offering glimpses of the enchanting Northern Lights. Lofoten's distinctive seasonal variations make it an extraordinary destination.
Beyond its celestial phenomena, Lofoten boasts a natural allure that captivates even the most seasoned globetrotter. Towering mountains, narrow straits, charming fishing villages, and a profound historical legacy compose just a few of the many highlights awaiting exploration.
Our journey commences in Bodø, easily accessible by direct flights from both Oslo and Bergen. The first night is spent here before a morning ferry ride (or a plane in the last summer departure) to Moskenes. Our week in Lofoten is flexible, with day trips tailored to weather conditions, allowing for potential adjustments to the itinerary while striving to fulfill the goals outlined in the day-to-day program.
As the week draws to a close, the expedition concludes at Evenes Airport, offering a direct flight back to Oslo. Alternatively, if you prefer to conclude the tour in Svolvær, the choice is yours. Experience the magic of Lofoten, where every day unfolds new wonders against the backdrop of this extraordinary archipelago.
