Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Tromsø and take the ferry to the island of Senja with dramatic sea cliffs and clear green water.

Arrive in the Arctic Capital of Tromsø where you will pick up your rental car. Take the ferry to the island of Senja - one of those places in Norway that sees very few visitors. This is mostly due to its dramatic and remote location on the Norwegian coast. On a...

Day 2 - Fjord sightseeing and wildlife safari  

Bergsfjorden, just North of Hamn, offers up scenic contrasts of shapes and colours that constantly shift with the changing weather. Steep, majestic mountain dive straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed sea shells line the islands in the clear...

Day 3 - Ferry to Andøya, and drive to Vesterålen 

Start early with the drive from Hamn via the village of Torsken (the Cod) to Gryllefjord where you will cross the fjord by ferry to Andenes on Andøya. You may be lucky and see whales and seals on the ferry trip.

On arrival at Andenes you will make your w...

Day 4 - Travel to the Lofoten Archipelago

Make your way south through incredible scenery as you travel along the Lofoten copastline all the way to Svolvær at the bottom of the archipelago.

On arrival in Svolvær you check into your own Rorbu (fisherman’s cottage) on stilts over the clear blue water. The cottages are self-contained with a bed & bathroom, lounge and kitchenette.

Day 5 - Day in Svolvær with a sea eagle safari and visit the narrow waters of the Trollfjord.

Spend the day in Svolvær and enjoy a sea eagle safari by boat and visit the narrow waters of the Trollfjord. Join a fun RIB trip to the magical Trollfjord where you can see the sea eagle up close. RIB driving is a fantastic experience in itself, but in Lofoten...

Day 6 - Continue further out in the Lofoten Archipelago to picture perfect Reine.

Continue further out in the Lofoten Archipelago to picture perfect Reine. On the way we strongly recommend a stop in the small fishing village of Nusfjord – perhaps for lunch. We can also highly recommend a stop in Flakstad. The Viking Museum is also well worth a visit for a great insight into the Viking culture.

Stay overnight in Reine, in your own self-contained Rorbu.

Day 7 - Guided kayak tour around Reinefjorden 

Get up close to the dramatic landscape of Lofoten on a guided kayak tour. Reine Rorbuer is located in the heart of Reine, affording direct access to one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, the iconic Reinefjorden. As you paddle out into the fjord, you’l...

Day 8 - Depart Lofoten

Make the drive to Leknes Airport, or back to Svolvær where you can drop off your car either at the airport or in Svolvær town.

Logistics

What's excluded

    • Flights
    • Meals unless specified in the itinerary
    • Toll roads and ferries
    • Items of personal nature
    • If you wish to hire an automatic car, these are 'on request' and can be difficult to obtain. Please seek further advice with us . Please note: We have not included all evening dinners (half-board) in our Norwegian countryside self-drive itineraries but in some spots, the hotel you are staying at may be the only option and/or highly recommended. Norwegian countryside hotels often have well known restaurants or intimate family run dining rooms that the hosts take great pride in. Considering the price of meals in Norway we have left this flexible in case you choose to self-cater. Please ask us for our recommendations as determined by your final itinerary. You do need to book ahead for these evening meals.

Accommodation

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
