Lofoten & Northern Lights

On arrival in Svolvær you check into your own Rorbu (fisherman’s cottage) on stilts over the clear blue water. Just outside the vibrant fishing village, you will stay in cozy and comfortable rorbu cabins with kitchen, lounge and bedrooms. The rorbu cabins are idyllically located between the fish landing station, quayside buildings, fish racks and old local buildings. You will have the open ocean on one side, and the spectacular Lofoten mountains on the other.

After breakfast, experience nature and the winter light of Lofoten with a local guide. Snowshoeing is an easy way to get close to nature, enjoy intriguing stories during easy walks in the magical landscape.

During the autumn months, the activity will be exchanged to sea kayaking.

In the evening, join an aurora chase with an experienced local guide and photographer. Taking pictures of the Northern Lights can be challenging, but the guide will give you all the tips and show you how to take your own Northern Lights photos. The guide will also take photos of you and send them to you after your trip so that you have the best memories possible.

"The open sea, the steep mountains, the fresh air and crystal clear water…. an experience that never lets go."

Today, enjoy a sea eagle safari by boat and visit the narrow waters of the Trollfjord. Be surrounded by mountains rising 1000 metres directly from the ocean. You are likely to experience sea eagles at close range as you venture into spectacular nature spots. Kitted out in a warm floating suit, the RIB boat speeds across the waters, stopping for photos of the white sandy beaches of Lofoten, the panorama view over the Svolvær town and the majestic mountain, Fløya, and Svolværgeita.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport or continue your adventure. If a Hurtigruten voyage interests you, you can join one from this small Lofoten village travelling north or south.
