Fjords & Lofoten · Norway

Lofoten Islands

7 Days / 6 Nights

A week of ridge hikes, sea kayaking and fishing villages from Svolvær to Reine, under the Arctic summer light.

This journey travels the length of the Lofoten archipelago, from Svolvær in the east to Reine and Hamnøy near its western tip. Days are built around hikes with big views, a morning on the water by sea kayak and time to enjoy the fishing villages at an easy pace.

With almost endless daylight in summer, there is no need to rush: walks can start late, and evenings are long enough for a second outing to the beaches at Haukland or Kvalvika.

Day by day

Day 1 Arrival in Svolvær

Arrive in Svolvær, usually via Oslo or Bodø, and transfer to your harbour accommodation. An easy evening walk along the waterfront.

Day 2 Henningsvær & Festvågtind

Drive to the fishing village of Henningsvær, built across small islands, and hike Festvågtind for views over the village and the sea.

Day 3 West to Reine

Follow the E10 west across bridges and fjords, with stops at Gimsøy and the old fishing station of Nusfjord, before settling in Reine or Hamnøy.

Day 4 Reinebringen

Climb the stone steps of Reinebringen for the classic view over Reine, then visit the village of Å at the end of the road.

Day 5 Sea Kayaking in the Fjords

A guided half-day sea kayaking outing among the islets around Reine, with time afterwards to explore Hamnøy and Sakrisøy.

Day 6 Kvalvika & Haukland

Hike over the pass from Fredvang to the secluded beach of Kvalvika, then end the day on the white sand of Haukland.

Day 7 Departure

Transfer to Leknes or Svolvær airport for your onward flight.

Practical information

Good fitness is needed for hikes of 3–5 hours on steep, sometimes rocky or muddy paths; bring hiking boots, waterproofs and warm layers even in July. Norway is in the Schengen Area but not the EU, and the currency is the Norwegian krone; cards are accepted almost everywhere.

Questions

Will we see the midnight sun?

The sun stays above the horizon in Lofoten from roughly late May to mid-July, and nights remain light until mid-August.

Can we see the northern lights on this trip?

Not in summer, as the sky is too bright. The aurora season in Lofoten runs from about September to March.
