Description
When you paddle along the Lofoten islands, it feels like you’re a world away from everything. The rocky peaks and sheer waterfalls are breathtaking, and the sandy beaches offer the perfect spot for a wild camp. You can sit in this mesmerising scenery, talking about the day and eating freshly made home cooking. It’s an adventure you’ll never forget!
Our expeditions in the archipelago are the perfect way to see some of the most amazing wildlife on Earth. Puffins, Sea Eagles, and other arctic animals make their homes in the deep fjords, and our expeditions take place in summer when they’re most active. We’ll work with local weather experts to decide the best route and plan each day as we go, making sure you get the most out of your expedition.
We’ll spend several days paddling into the fjords and exploring the mountains, wild camping along the way. Days can be long, but we’ll make the most of your time here. And since there are 24 hours of daylight during summer in Norway, we’re not constrained by the clock!
This trip is limited to a few dates in mid-summer, so don’t miss your chance. Places are limited, so it’s sure to be a friendly and easy-going expedition. Sign up now and let’s explore the Norwegian wilderness together
Need some advice on the travel options in Norway or from the UK?
Getting north of the Arctic circle is relatively easy with air, rail, and ferry links all the way. Wideroe and SAS airlines fly within Norway and from some parts of the UK. Ryanair and Norwegian go to Oslo from the UK allowing you to link with flights north from there. If you’ve got a bit more time then take the excellent, but slow, train journey up the coast of Norway to arrive in Bodo where you can use a ferry or air to get to your destination Svolvaer, in Lofoten. We have plenty of advice available on the best travel options so just drop us an email and we hope to meet you in Lofoten this summer.
Important: If you are short of time and want to fly then please be aware the further North you travel into the Arctic, the smaller the aircraft get. This means that it is often very difficult, or impossible, to get seats, close to our expedition dates. Most people are booking this trip, and therefore their flights, up to 8-12 months in advance. Trains and ferries are usually easy to book though slower – great if you’ve the holiday time!
Typical Itinerary
Travel Day:
Fly UK to Oslo to Bodo is the perfect expedition for you. You can take the fast boat or the short 30-minute flight to Svolvaer, which is the starting point of our trip. Alternatively, you can take the train to Bodo if you’ve got the time. Either way, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.
Days One to Six:
On the morning of our expedition, we packed our kayaks and paddled off to our first night of wild camping. Each day on our expedition was planned according to the weather conditions, making each day an adventure. We loved camping in the stunning Trollfjorden area!
