Tromsø is a city packed with culture, polar history and fresh locally sourced food in its numerous restaurants. Mountains, fjords and islands also surround it, making it a great base for exploring the winter landscape. On arrival, self-transfer to your central located hotel right on the harbour's edge.

If it is a clear day, experience Tromsø’s best view! On the outskirts of Tromsø (it is a very small town) a cable car runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge Storsteinen (421 m above sea level) in just four minutes. From the viewing platform at the upper station, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Tromsø and the surrounding islands, mountains and fjords. At the fully licensed Fjellstua restaurant, you can enjoy a delicious dinner based on local produce or select light meals from the café menu, while you take pleasure in the view.

This morning, travel by coach leaving at 8.45am to Senja island. Travel over the fjords on a ferry and arrive Hamn i Senja by 14.15. Settle into your harbour view suite before exploring the area. You can book a hot tub or an additional activity such as deep-sea fishing or e-biking.

This morning, join a boat trip in the beautiful archipelago of Bergsfjord with crystal clear turquoise water and white sandy beaches – also known as the “Caribbean in the Arctic”!

Steep, majestic mountain dive straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed seashells line the islands in the clear turquoise waters. If you are lucky, you might get a glimpse of the white-tailed eagle and maybe a seal and other sea birds playing in the winds. The knowledgeable guides will tell you everything you need to know about this area!

After a relaxing morning, you will join the Arctic Route bus in the middle of the afternoon. Get ready for an incredible sightseeing day as you travel along the Lofoten coastline all the way to Svolvær at the bottom of the archipelago. You will arrive around 9.30pm, having had dinner along the way. Remember, you are travelling when there is around the clock midnight sun so you won't miss any of the views.

Settle into your fisherman's rorbu this evening.

Experience the Lofoten Islands from the road on a guided journey through dramatic landscapes, rich history, and iconic coastal villages. Start with a drive along Nusfjordveien, where towering peaks and deep fjords lead you to Nusfjord, one of Norway’s best-preserved fishing villages.

Then head to Flakstad to visit its historic church and take in sweeping coastal views. Next, explore Hamnøya, famed for its red cabins and mountain backdrop, followed by Sakrisøya, where yellow rorbuer and calm waters capture the essence of traditional island life.

In Reine, soak in the beauty of one of the world’s most photographed villages, with its dramatic setting and charming streets. Finish your journey at Ramberg Beach, a stretch of white sand perfect for a peaceful walk or one last photo. From village to village, view to view, this road trip reveals the very best of Lofoten, one stop at a time.

After a final morning in Reine, one of the most photographed villages in Norway, make your own way to Leknes Airport for your onward flight. The drive takes roughly an hour and passes through the characteristic Lofoten landscape of peaks, bridges and shoreline that has defined this journey from the start. If your flight allows time, Leknes itself has a good supermarket and café for a last Norwegian coffee before departure.
