Norway · TOURS IN LOFOTEN
The islands are a chain of fishing villages under peaks that come straight out of the sea. The 6 below cover the boats, the kayaks and the midnight sun trips, priced and clear about which months they run.
Paddle a double kayak from Eggum for three hours with guides such as Lucio, Israel, and Santi. You will cross calm coastal water, pause on a small island for hot drinks and snacks, and watch the midnight sun hover over the open ocean. No kayaking experience is required.
“I really enjoyed the cup of tea at the little island and the guide was really nice”
Join guide Lukas, also listed as Lucas or Łukasz, for a six-hour small-group drive from Svolvær through Kabelvåg, Gimsøya, Haukland Beach, Unstad, and Henningsvær. Expect scenic stops, local history, myths, snacks, drinks, and a picnic near the surf beach. Pickup is available around Svolvær and Kabelvåg.
“Lukas was a great tour guide, passionate about the area, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We really loved this tour and highly recommend.”
Meet at Eggum Harbour at 10 pm for a three-hour double-kayak trip along the coast and nearby islands. No experience is needed. Guides such as Lucio, Israel, Santiago, and Juke provide safety help, local stories, wildlife notes, tea, cookies, and photos when conditions allow. From August, the start time shifts with sunset.
“It was beatiful weather and the guides were friendly, talented and told fine stories. Thank you for a great evening.”
From Eggum, paddle north-east around small islands with a professional guide such as Lucio, Israel, or Carlos. You’ll learn kayak safety, hear stories about Lofoten’s nature, and pause for snacks, coffee, or tea. No previous kayaking experience is needed, but wind can make the bay crossing tiring.
“Really great experience and really reasonable price. Kayaking around little rocky islands from the meeting site and getting to disembark on one of the them for a pause was really fun. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves feeling at one with nature.”
Meet your guide at Eggum’s small fishing harbor, look for the little red container, and learn kayak safety before paddling around calm, shallow waters and small islands. This three-hour tour includes double kayaks, equipment, snacks, hot drinks, and guides in English, Spanish, German, or Hungarian. Lucio has guided some outings.
“The tour was great, guides were very professional and welcoming. I do recommend!”
At Lofoten Glass in Kabelvåg, a local glass artist guides you through making 2 to 15 beads, depending on your chosen 1, 1.5, or 3-hour session. Pick colors, shape hot glass, and assemble your finished pieces as earrings, a bracelet, necklace, or keyring with silver fittings provided.
“Crafting your own glass bead allows you to create truly unique pieces that reflect your personality and preferences.”
Pick a fjord, a sled team or a night under the aurora.
