In the afternoon, experience Lofoten’s majestic Trollfjord in complete silence and comfort on board a purpose-built hybridelectric ship. Trollfjord is famous for its rich population of White-tailed Eagles and steep mountains. On the way you will enjoy the breath-taking views in comfortable, panoramic lounges and multi-level decks, inside and outside.

Departing from Svolvær harbour, you set out for the stunning Trollfjord. The friendly crew will share their knowledge about the wildlife, landscape and history of the resilient communities that live in this epic coastal landscape.

On board you can purchase warm drinks, alcoholic beverages, warm lunch, sandwiches and pastries.

Enjoy today´s drive to Nusfjord (1h & 30min direct). This small fishing hamlet is a living museum with several protected buildings and a unique restaurant with panoramic views across the fjord. Stop along the way for included activities and to enjoy the sights.

Lofoten Gårdsysteri opens their doors for you to enjoy a private guided farm tour with cheese tasting. This goat farm produces organic cheeses and deli products. The green mountains around the farm are an excellent pasture area for the goats and also hiking area for people. Enjoy lunch in their cafe if it suits.

Next stop, Lofotr Viking Museum is a picturesque museum along the way with Viking archeological exhibits in reconstructed longhouse, plus recreated ships. As you leave be sure to head to the beach close by the see some art sculptures.

Arrive at your hotel at your own leisure today.

Take today at your own pace in and around Nusfjord, one of the oldest and best-preserved fishing villages in Norway. The cluster of traditional wooden buildings, boathouses and fish racks that line the water here have been carefully protected under Norwegian heritage law, and the village carries a quietness and authenticity that is increasingly rare in Lofoten. It is the kind of place that rewards slow walking and unhurried observation more than any organised activity.

When you are ready to venture further, the options are varied. A fishing safari gives you the chance to catch your own dinner from the surrounding waters. Snorkelling and scuba diving are available for those who want to explore below the surface of this remarkably clear Arctic sea. For something more unusual, a seaweed harvesting rib boat adventure takes you out into the fjord to learn about the marine environment from a quite different angle.

This morning, head further west along the islands to Reine.
The village or Reine has often been called "the most beautiful place in the Lofoten" with its majestic peaks serving as a backdrop for the string of red and white fishermen's cottages dotting the shoreline.

In Reine you will stay in a quaint and cozy "rorbu", a traditional Fishermen's cottage with all modern comforts.

Explore the village of Reine and its beautiful surroundings. We have planned a 3 hour kayaking tour on the Reinefjord today, different start times available.

There are other options we can substitute for this tour, such as a guided hike, or upgrade to a private guided tour. We also recommend taking the steep hike up to Reinebringen from where you have panoramic views over the fjord and Lofoten. Alternatively you could take a short ferry from Reine to reach the golden sandy beaches of Horseid or Bunes, both of which require a hike from the respective ferry stops. The hike to Horseid takes approximately two hours each way from Kjerkfjorden, where as the hike to Bunes from Vindstad is also suitable for families.

After a hearty breakfast, drive to Leknes/Svolvær Airport (1.5 hrs / 2.5 hrs direct drive) and return rental car before departure.

Alternative departure: combine your Lofoten adventure with a Hurtigruten voyage. You can also catch a ferry across to Senja or Bodø. Ask us for options.
