Arrive in the Arctic Capital of Tromsø where you will pick up your rental car. Take the ferry to the island of Senja - one of those places in Norway that sees very few visitors. This is mostly due to its dramatic and remote location on the Norwegian coast. On arrival on Senja we highly recommend a detour to Husøy, where the houses are wired down on a little island to avoid being blown away.

Driving further northwest Senia will offer views towards the Devil’s teeth mountain range, and the Oxhorn Mountains. The names themselves indicate the ruggedness of the scenery awaiting you. The road you are travelling is part of a project called the National Tourist Routes of Norway. The Norwegian road authority (Statens Vegvesen) has commissioned 50 architects to design various landmarks, rest stops and view points along chosen road stretches all over Norway. On this particular stretch across Senja you will see Tungeneset and Bergsbotn.

Your accommodation on Senja is in self-contained apartments overlooking the water and sheltered from the open seas of the Norwegian Sea.

Bergsfjorden, just North of Hamn, offers up scenic contrasts of shapes and colours that constantly shift with the changing weather. Steep, majestic mountain dive straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed sea shells line the islands in the clear turqoise waters. If your lucky you can also get close views of seals, eagles and sea birds. Though the views are almost Caribbeanesque, the temperature will likely remind you that you’re actually North of the Polar circle. On the other hand: warm summer days can bring the temperatures as high as 25°C.
You’ll get a guided tour of the area and enjoy this area from its best side. Be prepared for rosy cheeks and salt water in your hair!

Start early with the drive from Hamn via the village of Torsken (the Cod) to Gryllefjord where you will cross the fjord by ferry to Andenes on Andøya. You may be lucky and see whales and seals on the ferry trip.

On arrival at Andenes you will make your way south for the approx. 100km drive to Vestaerålen. Once again, the drive is stunning with mountain peaks rise and chalk white beaches.

On arrival in Vestaerålen check into Kvitnes Gård a 15 room property with beautiful views located at the foot of the Møysalen mountains. This evening indulge in the hotel's tasting menu of 20-25 courses.

Make your way south through incredible scenery as you travel along the Lofoten copastline all the way to Svolvær at the bottom of the archipelago.

On arrival in Svolvær you check into your own Rorbu (fisherman’s cottage) on stilts over the clear blue water. The cottages are self-contained with a bed & bathroom, lounge and kitchenette.

Spend the day in Svolvær and enjoy a sea eagle safari by boat and visit the narrow waters of the Trollfjord.
Join a fun RIB trip to the magical Trollfjord where you can see the sea eagle up close. RIB driving is a fantastic experience in itself, but in Lofoten this activity really comes into its own. The trip starts from the quayside in Svolvær up through Raftsundet and into the Trollfjord, one of the country's most dramatic landscapes.

Continue further out in the Lofoten Archipelago to picture perfect Reine. On the way we strongly recommend a stop in the small fishing village of Nusfjord – perhaps for lunch. We can also highly recommend a stop in Flakstad. The Viking Museum is also well worth a visit for a great insight into the Viking culture.

Stay overnight in Reine, in your own self-contained Rorbu.

Get up close to the dramatic landscape of Lofoten on a guided kayak tour.
Reine Rorbuer is located in the heart of Reine, affording direct access to one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, the iconic Reinefjorden. As you paddle out into the fjord, you’ll experience small islands with bird colonies, wild shores, and white beaches, all surrounded by majestic mountains. A nature experience not to be missed.

Make the drive to Leknes Airport, or back to Svolvær where you can drop off your car either at the airport or in Svolvær town.
