Lofoten Islands Self-Drive

Day 1 : Leknes

Leknes embodies ‘Powered by Nature’. Sitting on the northwest coast, Leknes boasts an impressive array of fjords. On arrival make your way to collect your car (car not included).

Day 2 : Leknes > Reine

This morning drive to Reine, whose red and white fishermen’s huts and the granite peaks of the Reinefjorden give the village the reputation as “the most beautiful place in the world”. Some of the best rorbuer can be found here – traditional fishermen’s cabins converted into accommodation.

Day 3 : Reine

This morning depart on your kayak tour, the best way to experience the magnificent Reinefjorden. Cruise around the nearby islands of Reine, Sakrisoy and Hamnoy.

Day 4 : Reine > Svolvaer

A beautiful drive awaits today. You will have time to stop along the way to admire the views, visit fishing villages and go hiking. Tonight, you will be staying at the famous town of Svolvaer, busy with tourists in the summer and cosy and quiet in the winter.

Day 5 : Svolvaer

Today enjoy a Sea Eagle Safari to Trollfjorden, one of the most dramatic landscapes that Norway has to offer. Sea eagles have the largest wing span in the world, so to have one circling above your head is an experience to treasure. Also learn the history of the abandoned fishing settlements you will pass, a history that goes all the way back to the Viking era.

Day 6 : Svolvaer > Leknes

Your trip ends in Leknes upon returning your rental car.
