Tour description
Your Lofoten adventure starts from either Bodø, Evenes, Oslo or Trondheim. From Bodø, you travel by boat along the Northern coastline passing through narrow straits and charming fishing villages. You will arrive in Svolvær, Lofoten's biggest town, where you enjoy one or more overnight stays to explore this fascinating urban hub of Lofoten. There are lots of things to do in Svolvær and the city is surrounded by breathtaking mountain peaks, so there are endless opportunities for both natural and urban exploration.
You continue from Svolvær by traveling by bus southwards on the Lofoten archipelago. On this comfortable bus ride you will experience amazing views of stunning rugged mountains, picturesque villages, azure fjords, colorful fishing cabins and untouched nature.
Add an overnight stay in Reine
The bus stops in Reine - often described as Lofoten’s most scenic village. This is the perfect base for anyone wanting to explore Lofoten on hikes, kayaking trips, or fishing expeditions. We highly recommend an overnight stay in Reine. Here, you can stay in comfortable, authentic, and traditional “rorbuer”, charming cabins by the sea.
From Reine you continue to Moskenes, where a ferry takes you to Bodø. While crossing the Norwegian Sea and Vestfjord, you can reflect on the amazing Lofoten adventure you have experienced!
