Description

The big cat’s paws

The Lofoten Islands are located roughly in the middle of northern Norway, facing the town of Bodø. Their name originates from the Nordic word ‘fotr’, meaning ‘foot’, as the islands’ shape was thought to resemble a lynx’s paw by those who named them.

Once part of a Viking kingdom, the inhabitants of these islands lived in isolation for millennia, exposed to harsh natural conditions and making their living through fishing in one of the world’s most dangerous seas. Due to its isolation, natural treasures, and breathtaking panoramas, Lofoten has now become a top destination for outdoor sports enthusiasts.

The land of extremes

The end of summer here is different from what we’re used to: with long, cool days stretching into the night and minimal temperature fluctuations, we can enjoy the islands well into the evening with predictable weather. There are countless hiking trails to choose from, and from the mountain peaks, we are rewarded with breathtaking views of a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. When we’re not hiking to the summits, we can kayak beneath cliffs dotted with seabirds or set out on boat trips in search of seals and whales in the fjords.

During the camp, we’ll also have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the centuries-old fishing culture characteristic of the islands. Among the red rorbu wooden houses, cod drying in the wind provides the main ingredient for the local fish soup, which we’ll of course get to taste.

Program

6-day itinerary

Day 1

Arrival

We arrive at Harstad/Narvik (EVE) airport, from where we take a private transfer to Svolvær. We occupy our authentic Rorbu houses, have dinner, and enjoy the long daylight with a beautiful Norwegian scenery.

Day 2

Fishing villages, fjords, mountain peaks

After breakfast, we head south to conquer the iconic Reinebringen peak at 448 meters, which is accessible via 1978 stone steps. From here, we admire the most spectacular panorama of the archipelago, with its jagged peaks rising from the narrow fjords. Along the way, we pass through several fishing villages, including Reine, which is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the world. Throughout the day, we not only learn about the local fishermen's way of life but also encounter the legacy of the 1000-year-old Viking culture at every turn.

Day 3

White sandy beaches & more high ground

On this day we cross most of Lofoten on the small bridges connecting the islands. We stop on the white sandy beach of Flakstad for a picnic lunch, soaking up the sun and the stunning scenery. The feeling of adventure is guaranteed with a splash in the turquoise waters of the bay. Onwards, we explore the iconic Kvalvika beach, both from above and up close. After a leisurely walk along the coast, we climb Ryten, one of Lofoten's popular hiking trails, for breathtaking views of Kvalvika beach. After an adventure-filled day, we'll rest up in a sauna floating on the water.

Day 4

Paddling on the fjords

We start the day in Henningsvær, a town known to many for its famous cliffside football pitch. Throughout the fishing village, cod are drying on large wooden racks between houses on stilts. We stroll through the streets of the town, passing numerous artisan shops, bakeries, and small art galleries. In the afternoon, we visit Haukland Beach, which is voted one of Norway's most beautiful shores. After a short walk, we admire its picturesque surroundings from the Mannen peak. Later, if the team is up for it, we paddle out into the fjords and enjoy the evening sunset from our kayaks on the Norwegian Sea. As a perfect end to our adventurous day, we will taste the dried fish we admired earlier in a traditional fish soup.

Day 5

The devil's gate

On our last full day, we set off for another hike in the morning. Fløya is the mountain that rises above Svolvær, with Svolværgeita, a popular rock formation for rock climbers, as its highest peak. The 590-metre summit overlooks the harbour town of Svolvær and a row of rorbu houses, including our accommodation. Along the hiking trail, we also pass Djevelporten, also known as "The Devil's Gate", a huge rock trapped in a gorge. We spend the afternoon at sea again and if you feel like it, you can join the boat trip to Trollfjord. If we are lucky, we may see seals and killer whales during the tour!

Day 6

Farewell to the islands

After a short walk in Svolvær, we bid farewell to the postcard world and head home with everlasting memories and new friendships.

We reserve the right to change the program. The final program schedule will depend on the weather and endurance of the team.

I really liked Norbi’s flexibility. I couldn’t have climbed every day because of my legs, but I don’t think I would have missed anything. There was always another option open.

Linda

Our guide always waited for me during the hikes and even though I was slower than the others, I got a chance to take some top photos and have a break. I am grateful for that.

Rebecca

The accommodation was super nice and the two car solution was great, so we moved around separately 1-2 times, e.g. while the others were sailing we did some hiking plus we visited the Viking Museum and sailed there, which was a great prog 🙂

FAQ

Not at all! There are always people who come alone, so you will definitely make new friends. The hotel has rooms with 2 beds but if you prefer your own, single room without the company of your friendly group-mates, you can request this for an additonal fee, just let us know in the application form.

If you like hiking and trekking in the mountains, this is the camp for you! There's also kayaking and boating, but if you're not so keen, Lofoten is a top destination without them.

Variable, 10-15 °C during the day, rain, wind, sun (anything can happen), 10-12 °C at night. We recommend that you bring wind and waterproof clothing, hiking boots. An extra layer of clothing in your backpack can come in handy for shorter hikes, as the weather can change very quickly.

Our GoBeyond tour guide loves nature, has a keen eye for the weather and is a fan of Nordic cultures. She has the answer to every question and always has a plan B if weather interferes.

Other than dinners, there aren't many opportunities to spend money. You can make the most out of €200-300, but if you'd like to savor the excellent local food with the best drinks, we suggest an amount of €600, which will be more than sufficient.

You should choose an insurance which expands for the activities you’re planning to do. You should be aware that the blue EU health insurance card and the insurance of your bank card is not valid in most cases.

We will be staying in Norway the whole time, on the Lofoten archipelagos in the northern areas of the country, with the town of Svolvær serving as our base.

In the morning, you’ll get a buffet breakfast, from which you can take some sandwiches for the day and the hotel provides packaging for this, since it is a widespread custom in the region. In the city, there are exciting local restaurants, which we can visit in the evenings, or even enjoy cooking for ourselves all together. The Lofoten islands are full of fishing villages and are famous for their delicious cod, so count on experiencing some divine seafood!
