The Viking Archipelago
About the trip
The Viking Archipelago tours the most famous area of Northern Norway, the Lofoten Islands. An archipelago formed by mountainous islands sculpted by the ice of the ancient glacier.
The purpose of this trip is to explore and get to know firsthand the essential and hidden corners that this area contains, taking walks and daily excursions. Every day we will discover the hidden jewels of Lofoten, departing from the typical routes, hiking to the beaches, cliffs, mountains and driving between the smaller islands, but without omitting the essential places such as Reine, Ramberg or Å.
We will relive the Viking traditions in the impressive LOFTR museum and immerse ourselves in the ocean and among the majestic fjords in kayaks. On the last day in Tromsø, we will enjoy the capital of northern Norway. The trip starts in Bodø and ends in Tromsø and throughout the trip we will be above the Arctic Polar Circle, which determines the hours of daylight and the vegetation/fauna that we will find.

Day 1
Airport of origin – Oslo-Reine
Our guide will welcome you and pick you up at the Bodø airport. With our vehicle and the ferry we will go to the first rorbus accommodation to rest from a day of suitcases and flights. During the afternoon you will have an informative meeting with your guide to introduce you to the trip and the organization of the trip.
Day 2
Reine-Leknes
First day of adventure! We head towards the Lofoten Islands to begin to marvel at its unique landscapes. Mountains and cliffs sculpted by the ancient ice have created an archipelago worthy of any fantasy novel. We will visit the towns of Å and Reine. Along the way we will see stalls with dried cod, paradisiacal beaches and the gigantic fjords that give rise to numerous legends of trolls.
Day 3
Leknes-Henningsvær
It is time to learn a little more about Viking history and culture and the best way to do it is in the world-famous LOFTR museum, with a private and guided visit. After the ‘theoretical’ part, it is time to follow the path of the Vikings, but this time visiting the mountains that surround the islands.
Day 4
Henningsvær-Harstad
Waking up in the fjords of Lofoten, we could not start the day better than venturing on a kayak excursion to observe the marine life and local birds with a local guide. Afterwards we will see the most curious football field in the world located in Henningsvær. On the way, apart from climbing the Glomtinden mountain, we can enjoy everything that defines Lofoten: fishing villages, large mountains, beaches with crystal clear waters and cliffs.
Day 5
Henningsvær-Sjøvegan
Full of energy we get up to greet a new day! Along the way we will stop to visit the cod drying racks, the paradisiacal beaches and the gigantic fjords that give rise to numerous legends of trolls. This day we leave the island part and change the environment to the Norwegian taiga, where we will experience deep forests and vast landscapes with mountains shaped by glaciers.
Day 6
Sjøvegan-Botnhamn
From the charming town of Sjøvegan, the route to Senja Island crosses impressive Norwegian landscapes. The road will take us through the Stønnesbotn Fjord and we will head to the highest goal of the trip: the Hesten peak, located on the famous Senja Island. The view from the top will undoubtedly reward our efforts! Finally, we will arrive at Botnhamn, a picturesque fishing village on Senja Island, surrounded by mountains and natural beauty.
Day 7
Botnhamn-Tromsø
Leaving our cozy accommodation we will take the last ferry to the island of Kvaløya, from where we will go to visit and spend the night in the capital of the north: Tromsø. We are going to take a tour of the city with our guide who will tell us a little more about this city, full of life and culture! Tonight we will celebrate with a special farewell dinner.
