Tour Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrival in Harstad

Arrival in Harstad/Narvik Airport, pick-up your rental car and make your way to your city center accommodation in Harstad. 

Day 2: Harstad – Andenes

Today, you will drive from Harstad towards Andenes on the green Vesterålen Islands. On your way to Andenes you will pass by valleys and beautiful villages located on the shores of the fjords. We recommend selecting the route through Kvæfjord, which naturally includes the short ferry-crossing (not included) between Refsnes and Flesnes. Tonight you will stay in an accommodation in the city center.

You have the possibility to add a whale watching tour in Andenes on request (not included).

Day 3: Andenes – Svolvær

From Andenes you will drive towards Svolvaer, “the capital” of the Lofoten Islands. Svolvær offers the atmosphere of a harbor, a small town and art centre simultaneously. On your way you will pass through small towns, and add a stop in the old trading centre Stokmarknes to visit the museum of the coastal express Hurtigruten. The following two nights your accommodation is going to be a traditional Rorbu cabin in Svolvær.

Day 4: Svolvær

Enjoy your day at leisure in Svolvær. There is a possibility to add a RIB tour in the Trollfjord on request (not included).

Day 5: Svolvær – Reine

Continue your journey of Lofoten southwards. We recommend a stop in Nusfjord – an authentic fishing village (entrance fee not included). At the end of the day you will reach Reine, the most beautiful village of Lofoten. The next two nights you will sleep in a traditional Rorbu cabin in Reine.

Day 6: Reine

Today, feel free to enjoy your day at leisure. We recommend a visit to Å, a small village in the south of the archipelago. The village is a “museum” with typical rorbu cabins, bakery and boathouses, which are more than 150 years old and still in their original place. On request, you have the option to include a kayak tour in Reine (not included).

Day 7: Reine – Henningsvær

It is time to head North again and have your last night on Lofoten in beautiful Henningsvær, located on several small islands. It is known as one of the biggest fishermen villages and for its traditional fishing village architecture and famous football field. We recommend visiting the “Galleri Lofoten Hus” or take a walk around the harbor. Tonight your accommodation is in a traditional Rorbu cabin in Henningsvær.

Hi Lena,

It's Susan here, you organised our wonderful fly drive holiday to Lofoten & Vesteraalen and I'm writing to say 'thank you, we had an absolutely outstanding time'!!

It was our first visit to Northern Norway in the summer time and the scenery was just amazing! We were so lucky with the weather, just a couple of rainy days in amongst the bright sunny days......and nights!! To have 24 hours of light and midnight sun was just incredible!!

Our itinerary worked like clockwork (although there was a lot of travelling!) and our paperwork was helpful and informative. We were expected everywhere and very much appreciated your local suppliers work on our behalf. The Rorbu at Tind was absolutely perfect and we loved our time there best of all. 

All that said, we thoroughly enjoyed our adventure and would use Baltic/Haman again to book further adventures!!

I'll sign off with a couple of our photos......
