about the trip

Join us for an unforgettable trip through the Lofoten Islands during the midnight sun! On this 8 day trip we’ll be submersed in Lofoten’s natural beauty. You’ll see some of the most stunning white sand beaches with turquoise waters, hike up jagged peaks, frolic in the wildflowers, visit quaint fishing towns and consume your weight in cinnamon buns :)

We will all be sharing houses in prime locations throughout Lofoten. There will be double rooms and triple rooms (both options are single beds and shared bathrooms). Participants will be grouped into same gender rooms unless requested otherwise. You will be renting your own vehicle for the trip, but there will be car sharing opportunities with other travelers in the group.

At each location we’ll have multiple adventure options for you to choose from so that you can tailor your experience to best suit what you want out of the trip. Activities will vary from different levels of hiking, cold plunging, beach horseback riding, paddle boarding, boat tour, fjord kayaking, saunas and more.
