Discover the Norwegian paradise of Lofoten in summer and all the possibilities: the best trekkings, kayaking, whales, beaches… If you are passionate about nature photography, this is your destination. Possibility of private groups with and without guide.
From the mountains to the sea, Lofoten in summer is a paradise for nature lovers, its beaches with transparent and pure waters transport us more to a destination in the Tropics than in the Arctic. The midnight sun will give us 24 hours of light to be able to do activities outside all day.
We suggest you tour the Lofoten archipelago visiting the best places, giving you advice on restaurants, mountains and beaches that you will not find in the tourist guides and that we have been collecting with all our trips and experience in the place.
The main airport in the region is Evenes, which is located between the cities of Harstad and Narvik; There we will pick up our rental car. Think that the distances are great; From Evenes airport to the last towns of Reine and A it is about 6 hours by car. In order to enjoy the week exploring the region, we have planned a route in 3 different accommodations so that we do not have to drive long distances on any day but without having to change places every night.
We visit the towns of Svolvaer, Henningsvaer, Ballstad, Reine and A. We will climb different mountains in the area such as Floya, Manen, Reinebringen or Festvagtinden. We will swim on beaches like Unstaad, where if there are waves we can even surf. We have a multitude of recommended activities for all tastes: Kayak, SUP, speed boat ride, fishing excursion… And of course, the best restaurants in Lofoten where you can taste cod dishes or cinammon rolls in the different cafes.
We have some open organized outings that you can join but we can also create a tailor-made private group trip with all your needs. We have a local Spanish guide in the region, if you are interested there is also the possibility of making the entire trip guided by our expert who knows every corner and will show you the real Lofoten and away from tourists.
