With this tour, which lasts about five hours, we want our visitors to see the most spectacular locations that these islands offer, both natural, historical, and cultural.
It will be possible for you to sit on pure white beaches facing a crystal sea, to admire imposing mountains which for billions of years have guarded, like ancient Viking warriors, magnificent cliffs where the waves of the North Sea break.
You will smell the scent of that same sea, united with the perfume of arctic flowers. At the same time, you might also visit archaeological sites which tell the story of the Viking population, and the origins of this land.Walk among the old “Rorbu” (old fishermen’s houses) in the different, colorful villages of the islands.
You will also have the chance to taste the various typical products of these islands, while sitting in some characteristic local restaurants.
With this excursion, we would like to take you to discover these islands; we will not only visit some of the characteristic fishing villages which have made these islands famous, and are appreciated all over the word, but we’ll also take you to explore unspoiled nature, the most genuine and extraordinary part of this beautiful archipelago.
We will drive you through the islands and their amazing white sandy beaches, icy lakes and high mountains covered by snow.
You will admire Arctic landscapes and fishing communities where, you can breath the history and the atmosphere of the ancient times when the fishermen used to gather up here to participate to the cod fishing season.
Gimsøy island , Bøstad and its panoramic spot, the Vestfjord , Henninsgvær, the Venice of the north and Kabelvåg are some of the places you will visit.

Wir haben im Rahmen einer Kreuzfahrt einen Tag die Lofoten besucht. Vorab hatten wir auf der Webseite von LofotenLights den Ausflug gebucht. Unser Guide Maurizio, ein Italiener und der Geschäftsführer von LofotenLights erwarte uns wie vereinbart am Kreuzfahrtpier. Er zeigte uns auf der Tour alle Highlights und erklärte uns sehr viel in seinem sehr guten Englisch. Auch ging er auf unsere Fragen und Wünsche ein. Wir können LofotenLights nur weiterempfehlen.Ringrazio Claudia per la giornata passata tra i bellissimi panorami di Svolvaer e dintorni. Disponibile e ottima guida per capire i lughi e le persone che abitano le Lofoten. Tour di una giornata in pullman decisamente consigliato.

Volevo qui ringraziare Maurizio che ci ha accompagnato per un bel tour molto interessante delle isole dal mattino al pomeriggio, mostrandoci gli aspetti più belli e i luoghi più affascinanti delle isole collegate tra loro da ponti, non tralasciando di dirci un sacco di notizie sugli abitanti delle Lofoten e le loro simpatiche abitudini.. disponibile a fermarci per le nostre fotografie ed a rispondere alle nostre molteplici domande per curiosità.. Il giorno successivo anche con Claudia abbiamo "rincorso" sulle spiaggie l'aurora boreale, e Maurizio è stato bravissimo nelle indicazioni per poter scattare delle foto fantastiche.. per poi salutarlo al nostro alloggio con una delle più fantastiche aurore sopra le nostre teste.. :) ma mi raccomando non chiedetegli di accompagnarvi quando in tv c'è un derby milanese di calcio.. :) Grazie ancora, il gruppetto di Verona (Hellas).
This was an excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Lofoten Islands. There were only four people on our trip. The guide told us to say if we saw a photographic opportunity and he would stop, which he did, many times to accommodate our wishes. We travelled...
This was an excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Lofoten Islands. There were only four people on our trip. The guide told us to say if we saw a photographic opportunity and he would stop, which he did, many times to accommodate our wishes. We travelled to the ocean side and the fjord side of the islands. It was a very full and busy day but most rewarding. We stopped in a village for a much needed coffee and cake. I would recommend this tour for visitors that want to see the islands but only have a limited time. Excellent value for money.
Nuestro guía Eric hizo de nuestro tour una experiencia inolvidable a pesar del mal clima que hubo. Gracias a su gran experiencia pudimos aprender de los paisajes, cultura y forma de vida de los noruegos, así como los animales de la zona, y muchos otros temas muy interesantes.
