Fjords, fishing villages and northern nature above the Arctic Circle — author tour to Norway with a NOMAP tour leader
Lofoten is an archipelago above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway. Sharp mountain peaks rising straight from the ocean. Red fishing huts on stilts. Turquoise water at the beaches. And white nights in summer, when the sun never sets.
We run author tours with small groups — we show not only the postcard views, but places ordinary tour buses don't reach.
The route covers the key points of the archipelago: the fishing villages of Reine and Hamnøy, Haukland and Uttakleiv beaches, treks up the iconic peaks of Reinebringen or Ryten, a fjord sea cruise.
June-July — polar day, warm (15-22°C), perfect for hiking. September — golden autumn + first auroras. February-March — best winter season (snowy peaks, aurora, daylight returning). December — polar night, no light.
