2 day.

After the breakfast your guide will meet you and you will start your fantastic voyage in Lofoten. The whole archipelago is like a living museum dominated by enormous mountains and fishing boats. Today one of the most dramatic boat rides in Lofoten awaits you – you will cruise into the impossibly narrow Trollfjord, stretching for 2 km. Coastal steamers can barely navigate this narrow passage without scraping the rock walls on either side. One of the most visited sites in the Lofotens, this fjord cuts its way westward from the Straits of Raftsundet, opening onto an idyllic Lofoten landscape, famed as the subject of many paintings. Dinner in one of the restaurants in Svolvaer. Overnight at Anker Brygge

5 day.

Today you will have an unforgettable trip to the Vesteralen archipelago, from where you will go to the open sea for whale safari. After breakfast your guide will pick you up at the hotel and take you to Svolvaer airport; from there you will have a private flight to Andenes – the capital of whale safari in Norway. In Andenes, the edge of the continental shelf is closer to land than anywhere else along the coast of Norway. In the bay that constitutes this part of the shelf, a stable stock of sperm whales feeds and thus forms the basis of whale watching tours in the region of Vesteralen. It is only a one hour voyage from Andenes to the feeding grounds. A normal trip, with a two hour stay in the area, lasts about 4-5 hours. After the whale safari you will return back to Svolvaer by private plane. Dinner and overnight at Anker Brygge.
