Lofoten Islands, beyond the Arctic Circle, are probably the most beautiful place in Norway. And I’m not getting ahead of myself if I say it’s one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Steep mountains rising sheer out of the sea, it’s as if only the highest peaks of the Alps were rising out of the sea.

I’ve seen many sublime landscapes in Norway. The Norwegian fjords region is fantastic, Senja is magnificent, the Tromso region really impressive. But the Lofoten Islands really have something unique, so the price of fame is the popularity of these islands.

Many Norwegians have their second home here, and it’s become a mecca for tourists. But it’s easy to overlook this and concentrate on the wonders of the islands. There’s so much to do in Lofoten! Enjoy the typical fishing villages, from Reine to Henningsvaer, the heavenly if slightly chilly beaches, hikes like the Reinebringen and, above all, take the time to enjoy the scenery, because you’re here to take in the sights!

5 reasons to visit the Lofoten Islands

• Probably the most beautiful scenery in Norway
• The northern lights, of course!
• Magnificent fishing villages
• A different identity, a people very focused on the sea (okay, they don’t have much choice)
• Travelling there is easy

The most beautiful places in Lofoten Islands

The thing about the Lofoten Islands is that there are so many things to see. It’s impossible to list all of them, and I haven’t even seen everything yet, but I’d like to point out a few pretty spots, villages and beaches, some of my favorites

Around Svolvaer

My first visit to Svolvaer didn’t leave me with a woohoo memory. But now I love it. It’s a charming little town surrounded by mountains, with lots of little islands and a very nice waterfront. The sunrise and sunset colors are fantastic. And the surroundings aren’t bad either!

• Just before Sildpollnes, there’s a lovely view of the mountains.
• the Hammerstad campsite also offers a great view.
• A little before Valberg, take the road to Malnes. It’s truly magnificent, and you’ll get some crazy colors for the sunset.
• By the way, it’s well worth continuing along route 815 to Pettvika.
• The road to Laukvika is very nice and a good place to see the Northern Lights.

The most beautiful villages of the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands boast some of the most beautiful fishing villages in Norway. And above all, the following villages are a must. They’re all easily worth a few hours:

• A i Lofoten: the typical village at the end of the world
• Reine: surrounded by rugged mountains and picture-postcard views
• Sakrisoy: a tiny village on a tiny island, with orange houses
• Hamnoy: just next door, a magnificent little village facing the mountains
• Nusfjord: a very pretty, totally isolated village
• Henningsvaer: a very active and iconic fishing village.

The most beautiful beaches of the Lofoten Islands

And yes, the beaches of the Lofoten Islands are magnificent! transparent water, strips of sand, surrounded by mountains. All in all, it’s paradise. Okay, with freezing water, but a chilly paradise.

In summer, the problem is that some beaches are overrun by campers and are far from clean, particularly Uttakleiv. In winter, it’s all white, no campers, and it’s really top-notch.

They’re also great places to watch the Northern Lights, so you can see the following beaches, which are the main ones:

• Uttakleiv (crowded)
• Vik (a little crowded): not bad for the aurora
• Haukland (for those who can’t make it to Uttakleiv): great for sunsets
• Unstad (a few people)
• Myrland (less crowded)
• Ramberg (quite a few people)
• Eggum (no one there!): less photogenic, but a very clear view for the aurora.

Unstad beach, a surfer’s paradise

Did you know? It’s possible to surf on the Lofoten Islands, and it’s mainly at Unstad. And even in winter! You can ride the waves all year round, although you’ll need a wetsuit because it’s already cold and windy.

And don’t forget, right next to the beach there’s a restaurant/café with the best kanelbolle I’ve ever eaten. Quite simply exceptional (my eyes are glistening right now). The coffee is also very good, all in a cool atmosphere. It’s at the Unstad Arctic Surf.

Make sure you look to your left in the valley leading to Unstad, as you’ll get a magnificent view. Finally, Unstad is the starting point for a lovely, easy, family-friendly hike to Eggum beach. It runs along the seafront, which is top in summer.

What to do in the Lofoten Islands, all activities

First of all, in the following article I give you the top activities in the Lofoten Islands. Otherwise, just below, here’s the short version. On the Lofoten Islands, it’s above all the landscapes that are incredible. So my first piece of advice would be :

• in winter, take the back roads, they’ll all lead to superb viewpoints
• in summer, hike and climb – the mountain views are insane.

Then, do the different villages I listed before.

Ok, we’re in the Arctic Circle, but there are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world here! Pure, clear, magnificent water, clear sandy beaches surrounded by mountains.

The Kong Olav Veg road offers an exceptional panorama. It’s one of Norway’s scenic routes, and it’s easy to see why! Easy to get to, it’s the main road through the Lofoten mountains.

Svolvaer is a pleasant little town, well situated for all amenities.

Nearby, you’ll also find ski resorts and numerous hiking trails, as well as the Northern Lights, of course. Isolate yourself from the tourists and the light, why not on a beach, and the show is yours. If you wish, you can also hire guides to take you to the right places and help you take great photos.

A great thing I did in summer with friends was to spend a day on a fishing boat to learn how to fish (logical).

You can also visit the islands with a photographer, to improve your skills and, above all, get to the best spots.

Finally, a very popular activity on the Lofoten Islands is kayaking (only in summer). Between the fjords and the magnificent waters, it’s a perfect setting. What’s more, you may even come across orcas or whales! But there is no whale watching tour, unfortunately.

Discover all the activities on the Lofoten Islands!

Dog sledding in the Lofoten Islands

On the Lofoten Islands, you can sometimes go dog sledding. There’s only one kennel and it’s on Svinoya, 45min from Svolvaer.

I stumbled across it by chance, and it’s a tiny kennel of 20 dogs run by Lila, in a truly exceptional setting. I’ll write about it because it’s a strange experience, but it’s something to do, especially as it’s a change from the big industries around Tromso. You can find out more on her Facebook page.

Update : this kennel is no longer open for 2024/2025 winter. It may change later, next winter, this is why i don’t hide this section.

See the Northern Lights

I’ve written a big article about the Northern Lights in the Lofoten Islands here. Well, honestly, it’s great but it’s not the best place in Norway to see the Northern Lights.

In the following article I explain you how to have the best conditions to see the northern lights:

• away from light pollution
• an unobstructed view
• few people
• mild weather

So, the Lofoten Islands are well situated in terms of latitude, we’re going to find some nice spots, the auroras are there, but I’d say it’s less easy because :

• weather-wise, it’s not as good as Tromso and Senja, Lofoten are cloudier
• in the south of Lofoten, it’s difficult to get a clear view, as the villages and roads are mainly on the south coast, while the mountains block the view to the north
• the main spots are crowded with people (hello Uttakleiv)
• there’s a lot of light pollution

However, if you look hard enough, you’ll find some pretty spots with no people at all. In general, people go to the various beaches: Vik, Uttakleiv, Eggum, Unstad.

On the Svolvaer side, you’ll find lovely spots around Gimsoya (the golf course), the road to Henningsvaer to the west, Valberg… The classic photogenic spots are Hamnoy, Sakrisoy, the beaches of Uttakleiv and Vik.

If your stay in Norway is all about the Northern Lights, then read this article to find out which region is best for you.

If you’d like to see the Northern Lights with an agency in the Lofoten Islands, you can do so from Svolvaer (see here). There used to be an agency in Reine, but I can’t find it anymore.

How to get to the Lofoten Islands

There are many ways to get to the Lofoten Islands. It’s easier than many other places in Norway. By air, by sea, by road. But the islands are very big! So you need to weigh up all your options beforehand, depending on where you want to go, where you’re coming from…

In the following article, I tell you in great detail how to get to the Lofoten Islands (bus, plane, train, ferry, car…). But below you’ll also find a lot of details.

Getting to the Lofoten Islands by plane

The islands are so big that it takes over 5 hours to get from one end to the other. Fortunately, there are two airports “inside” the Lofoten Islands : Svolvaer and Leknes.

Others are a little further away, in Anderdalen or on the mainland. The big advantage is that there are plenty of connections with the country’s cities and Oslo, with Norwegian and Wideroe in particular.

• Svolvaer is a little further north, convenient for visiting Henningsvaer, the beaches and the northern part.
• Leknes a little further south. So if you want to visit villages like Reine, A, this is a good place to stay.
• Harstad/Narvik (also called Evenes) is located before the Lofoten, at the very beginning, still in the Vesteralen. It’s a long way, about 4 hours from Leknes, but the road is insanely beautiful.
• Bodo, on the mainland, opposite, you need to take the boat to Moskenes.
• Tromso, a long way away, takes 8h (without stopping, so more like 10h in winter), which we’ll talk about later.
• Bardufoss, south of Senja, also far away, 6h non-stop.

In any case, you need to compare prices first. Dates, companies. I use at least two comparators (considering the price of a trip to Norway, if I can save a few dozen euros here or there, I’ll do it!) So I mainly use Kayak and Momondo. You can also go directly to the companies to have a look.

To avoid paying a fortune, it is essential to compare flightsFind your flight at the best price!

Lofoten Islands airports map

In my map of the Lofoten Islands, I’ve indicated the various airports so you can find out where it’s most convenient to land, depending on your route. The great classics are Bodo (then ferry), Tromso with a discovery of the region and Evenes (Harstad/Narvik).

By car or van

Coming to the Lofoten Islands by car or van is a good idea, especially in summer. In winter, if you come with your own vehicle, you’ll absolutely need very good winter tires. And if you’re coming by camper van, you’ll need good cold-weather equipment and an alternative battery-powered heater.

What’s more, you have to cross central Scandinavia, which in winter is dead as a doornail, and very cold. So there’s very little infrastructure, and many roads are closed because of the snow.

By train

There are two possibilities.

The last train station is in Narvik, at the entrance to the Lofoten Islands. Once here, you’ll have to use another means of transport (bus line 300). It’s a big town, so there are car rental companies and plenty of buses. Narvik, on the other hand, is on the Swedish network, so you have to go through Sweden.

The last train station on the Norwegian network is Bodo. So from there you can take the ferry across to Moskenes (see above). You can come to Bodo via Trondheim, Oslo.

By boat

The Hurtigruten calls at Svolvaer. So if you want to sail along the coast from Bergen, Tromso or Kirkenes, it’s possible!

Alternatively, you can take the ferry from Bodo to Moskenes, if you don’t want to go all the way up and back down to the islands. There are many ferries a day, and usually there’s always room. In midsummer, however, it can be a little more complicated, so book the day before or the day before. You can do all this on this site, which manages the Bodo-Moskenes ferries.

• Read the following article to find out more about the ferry between the Lofoten Islands and Bodo!

The Lofoten Islands by bus

The Lofoten Islands are very well served by bus. The Lofoten Express runs from Narvik to A, this is the line 300, with numerous stops including Reine, Leknes, Svolvaer, Moskenes, Henningsvaer… You can also take a look at Arctic Buss, which offers tourist packages also linked to the Northern Lights. There’s also Lofoten Tours, but I get the impression that it’s more tourism than pure transport.

From Tromso to the Lofoten Islands

If you want to visit Tromso and the Lofoten Islands in the same trip, you need to be aware that it’s a lot of driving. Tromso – A is a 10-hour drive. From Svolvaer, further north, it’s a little less, around 7 hours. But the road is sumptuous. In Lofoten, we follow the Kong Olav veg, King Olaf’s road. Superb.

So, if you plan to go there, don’t forget you need 2 days to go there and come back. In a week, that may be too much. 10 days or 2 weeks are perfect!

From Senja to the Lofoten Islands

You’d think that because Senja is closer than Tromso on the map, the journey would be quicker. But it’s not.

In Senja, it takes over an hour to get back from the north, 1h30 to go from Gryllefjord to Finnsnes. Then back down to Bardufoss and Narvik. Almost 3 hours more. So you need to allow at least as much time, I think even more, as coming from Tromso.

On the other hand, the view from the Narvik area over the start of Lofoten is amazing. In summer, you can take the ferry from Gryllefjord to Andenes, in the Vesteralen, and back down to Lofoten. But it won’t be much less.

From the Vesteralen to the Lofoten Islands

The separation between the Vesteralen Islands and the Lofoten Islands is rather vague. The Vesteralen islands are to the north and east of Lofoten, but we mainly talk about Andoya and Langoya, the two big islands, the most touristic (or the least isolated). And the journey to the center of Lofoten is shorter.

From Andenes, it will take 5 hours to get to Leknes, and from Sto around 4 hours. You can do it all by road via Sortland and Hinnoya, or take the boat from Melbo to Fiskebol. And I hear the view from the boat over the Lofoten is incredible

Where to stay

This is a difficult question because, as I say, the Lofoten Islands are very big and there are things to see to the north and to the south.

It’s going to be difficult to have just one drop-off point. Going from Svolvaer to A is 3 hours. Whereas from Reine to Henningsvaer, it’s more than 2 hours. So clearly, I strongly advise having two drop-off points, one towards Svolvaer/Henningsvaer or even Valberg/Ballstad. And another towards Reine, where you can easily wander around the different villages.

If you had to have just one base, then choose Leknes. It’s a good hour from anywhere. The town is not really nice (Svolvaer is much prettier and the setting is top-notch) but has everything and is therefore well located with beautiful surroundings. But it all depends on how long you stay.

Otherwise Ballstad is very convenient (and great views). If you’re staying for a week, you can have two drop-off points to limit travel.

In the following article, I’ll explain how to choose which town to sleep in on the Lofoten Islands.

Finding accommodation

The Lofoten Islands are very touristy (during summer), perhaps the most touristy place in Norway. So the offer is consequent and, surprisingly, not that expensive. I found it cheaper than Tromso. There really are quite a few hotels.

In the heart of Reine, for example, I was able to get a hotel for €70 a night at the height of the tourist season.

In Svolvaer, the Thon and Scandic hotels are not expensive. At the last minute, I was also able to get a Fasthotel for 50€.

There are also two nice rorbuer in Svolvaer : Anker Brygge and Svinoya Rorbuer

In Leknes, you’ll also find a Scandic, but otherwise it’ll be mostly cabins far from the city center. If you prefer houses, you’re also spoilt for choice. Many locals have rented out their vacation homes.

At the height of the season, it’s really expensive, so I’d better warn you! But after that, it’s very reasonable. And above all, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is, because the more choice you have.

A few examples: this quiet one in Bostad, Margihuset in Reine, the superb Camp Lofoten in Kabelvag or the idyllic location of Rabben Feriested next to Henningsvaer.

Finally, there are more and more rorbua, fishermen’s houses that have now been converted into guesthouses. It’s a bit more expensive than traditional accommodation, though. I spent an idyllic week in Svolvaer, at the Rorbu Anker Brygge, which is a great place and above all beautifully located. You’ve also got some lovely rorbu here in Reine, a great (but not cheap!) one in Sakrisoy, and a very nice one here in Ballstad.

In the following article, I’ll give you a selection of accommodations on the Lofoten Islands (Svolvaer, Leknes, Ballstad, Reine…)

Sleeping in a fisherman cabin, in a comfortable hotel or by the beach? Yes it's possible!Find your dreamy accomodation !

Below is a photo of a rorbu in Svolvaer. The view is taken from the fantastic Rorbu Anker Brygge, in the early morning. Probably one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen.

4 recommended accommodations in Lofoten

When to go to the Lofoten Islands, what’s the best season?

As with every trip to northern Norway, each season is totally different. First of all, you need to ask yourself whether you want snow or not, Northern Lights or not, that will go a long way 😀

• June/July/August: summer, endless daylight, more snow and great hiking. Lots of wind, not necessarily cold. No auroras, no night, no snow! Lots of tourists, especially locals. But to be honest, there’s always plenty of room, so we don’t step on each other’s toes.
  • If you’re looking for some ideas, here are plenty of itineraries in Norway and the Lofoten Islands in summer.
• September/October: early autumn, no snow yet, weather that “should” be okay, but more rain and, above all, there are the Northern Lights! you can also hike, good day/night ratio.
• November/December: rain, snow arrives relatively late (the end of the gulf stream hits Lofoten), but it gets darker and darker. So we’re going to have rain, less daylight, a combination of lousy weather and little light. Not ideal. There’s the aurora borealis, of course, but I’m not sure the weather will allow that very often.
• January/February/March: the best period in my opinion, especially the last two months. Because we have daylight (more and more! +15min per day), it’s snow and not rain, the weather is getting better or rather less bad. And so it’s more favorable for the aurora borealis. Winter is also the most popular tourist season. But frankly, last March was fine.
• April/May: the half-and-half season. There’s still some snow, but it’s mostly raining. An in-between season. There’s light all the time, so you can’t see the Northern Lights from around April 5 (unless they’re really strong, until mid-April).

The Lofoten Islands in winter

So given what I’ve just told you above, my favorite season is winter. Indeed, although it’s quite touristy (but that’s okay), the weather is playful (but that’s okay too), the landscapes under the snow are crazy and on top of that we get the Northern Lights.

So I can only strongly advise you to go to the Lofoten Islands in winter, ideally between mid-January and March for the best light. Personally, I find that without light, it’s dreary, and the short days mean that there’s very little to see. But it’s really beautiful in any season.

And the Lofoten Islands in winter offer many of the things we’ve detailed in this article, but if I had to give you a few reasons why:

• the northern lights
• snow-capped mountains
• the villages under the snow are magical
• it’s much less crowded than in summer (even if it is a bit crowded).

The Lofoten Islands in summer

I’ll have to write an article dedicated to this period, but the Lofoten Islands in summer are quite something. It’s beautiful, really, and above all it’s a hiking paradise.

You see all these mountains? well, almost all of them have their own path to climb. The midnight sun is also a great sight, and means that you can have an aperitif until 2 a.m. without realizing it, then wake up at 4 a.m., all fresh from the sun, and get eaten by mosquitoes. It’s an experience, it’s magnificent, it’s really something to do.

But it’s the most touristic time in the most touristic region of Norway, so you have to plan a little in advance.

Climate and temperatures in the Lofoten Islands

It never really gets very cold. But the Lofoten Islands do have a reputation for having, shall we say, teasing weather. They’re right in the ocean, at the end of the Gulf Stream, so it’s never really very cold. -5, -10, it’s fine.

Well, yeah, -10 compared to the -30 you can get inland, frankly it’s fine 😀 And anyway, you’ll be well equipped, so it’ll do just fine, you’ll see!

Wind, lots of it, quite a lot of humidity unlike Senja and Tromso. There’s generally less snow too (i.e. you go from “lots and lots” to just “lots and lots”), but you won’t notice much of a difference. The Lofoten Islands are said to have worse weather than Senja and Tromso, mainly because of their more oceanic location.

For the record, last winter I had horribly rotten weather in Senja and Tromso, but very decent in Lofoten. A good weather app and website is Yr.no, but I give you much more information in the following article about the weather and aurora apps in Norway

Is it a tourist region?

Oh yes, in winter but especially in summer, it’s the most touristic place in Norway. When I first visited in summer 2014, there was absolutely nobody there, but since then it’s become very fashionable.

Norwegians are buying second homes, tourist rorbu are being built all over the place, foreigners are attracted (and rightly so) by the fantastic, one-of-a-kind landscapes. Now in summer, I’m told there really are a lot of people.

This winter, I thought it was okay, but I expected worse. I’d just come from Senja and the Vesteralen, where there was literally nobody. So yes, I was never alone, quite a few people in Uttakleiv, on Reine’s bridge, in Henningsvaer. But it was all right, on the word of someone who doesn’t like crowds:D

How long to stay in the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands are big. And it takes 5 hours to get from one end to the other. So clearly, it’s not a territory you can tour in 2-3 days.

In my opinion, the minimum time you’d need to do the tour without too much hurry would be 5 days. And we don’t really have time for hiking.

So if you come in summer, it’s at least a week. Even in winter, with less light, you’re bound to do less and be more tired. So staying a week is not bad at all, in my opinion. It allows you to enjoy the scenery, the beaches and the villages, to take the back roads, to do activities like going out to sea.

So yes, you can make the return trip in 2 days, but clearly, what’s the point? Because that means no stops. And no fun, just driving.

Here is an itinerary to visit Lofoten, Senja, Tromso in two weeks!

Getting around the Lofoten Islands

I’ve gone into a bit more detail above, but it’s not compulsory to have a car, but it’s still highly recommended. There’s a very good bus network, you can see the bus network on this site. But the buses connect the main towns and villages, that’s all. There’s not a lot of flexibility, so if you want to have a little more freedom, the car will be advisable.

By car, everything will be done along the Kong Olav vei, the E10 freeway, a feast for the eyes. From this road, there are many that go right and left. ESPECIALLY, take these small roads. They’ll take you to nuggets, mini fjords, magnificent places with no one around. Because all the tourists always go to the same places (well deserved, they’re really beautiful). So check out the little roads that are a little out of the ordinary

Rent a car

Once you’re at the airport, it’s very easy to rent a car, whether in Bodo, Svolvaer, Leknes, Narvik… there are no big cities, so outside the airport, it’s much more complicated. It’s not particularly expensive, starting at €30 if you get there early for well-equipped cars (the basics there). On the other hand, if you delay, it can easily rise to 60/80€ a day. To optimize prices, it’s best to make simulations in advance, and above all to compare.

To compare, I use Discover Cars and Rental Cars, and never have any unpleasant surprises

Compare prices to find the perfect car in Norway

Budget for a trip to the Lofoten Islands

Norway is notoriously expensive. Here it is, but not so much anymore. The main items of expenditure are accommodation, food, petrol and car hire. Car rental is no more expensive than elsewhere, on the contrary. Gas is a little more expensive than back home, but it varies enormously from day to day.

Food, with the influx of foreigners, many restaurants are opening and bringing prices down to a “reasonable” level, so it’s great! But local ones remain very expensive (around 50/70€ per person).

At the supermarket, it’s more expensive than at home, but as everywhere you can find low prices. So clearly, if you’re careful, you won’t spend much more there than at home. But the first prices you’re going to see are going to sting.

In the end, you can count on €350 airfare per person, €130 per night for an hotel, €40 per day for the car, add €10 for gas if you’re driving, groceries 20% more expensive than in Paris, restaurants 30% more expensive (wine and beer cost double, easy). Activities are easily 100€ per person, but nature is free!

Some webcam of the Lofoten Islands

Live webcams in the Lofoten Islands are great because you can already see what it looks like, see the weather, get an idea and, why not, take in the sights.

• A nice one at Reine
• Facing the mountain in Hamnoy
• One here in Gimsoy
• Around Svolvaer

Practical information

Currency and payment methods

As everywhere else in Norway, you pay in NOK (Norwegian krone) and by card. It’s ultra convenient. In the last 3 years, I haven’t used cash once. Tips are on the CB machine, at the market they often have the card too, and so do the smallest stores. Currently is around 1€ = 10NOK (or 11 NOK) so conversion is very simple

Safety on the Lofoten Islands

It’s Norway! Sure, it’s more touristy, but it’s still very safe. There’s absolutely no risk of assault or anything else. Even though it’s touristy, you can leave your stuff in the car, no problem. To show you the state of mind, when people go shopping, they leave the car engine running with their stuff in it

Internet and Wifi

Norway is included in our European packages, for both data and calls. 5g coverage is great in the whole Lofoten region, in Tromso and Senja too (okay, in the whole of Norway), and better than in my Parisian apartment.

Last but not least, wifi is available everywhere, just in case.

Conclusion

So there you have it, I think you know almost everything about the Lofoten Islands! Don’t forget that you can find all this information condensed in the Lofoten Map.

The content of this article is constantly evolving, so that I can add even more relevant information as I travel (I go there at least once a year), research and receive your feedback.

But one thing’s for sure: a trip to the Lofoten Islands will take your breath away. Quite simply, these are the most beautiful landscapes in Norway. Some seasons are more favorable than others, and the weather can be pretty crappy, but that’s all part of the trip, especially here 😀
