Situated 123 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten islands, are a 118-mile-long archipelago of small fishing communities. The area is characterised by a narrow coastline, steep mountain formations and strong tidal 
currents. Breathe in pure air and take in infinite shades of green and yellow at this steep island. The skies are filled with cuckoos, curlews and eagles while the ground bursts forth with wild flowers and berries and the water churns with migrating cod and salmon. The sun shines over the beaches of white sand, cosy rorbus and crystal-clear waters.
Known for excellent fishing, picturesque villages and whale safaris, Lofoten is better explored on foot. Watch out for the killer whales as you go rafting in the Trollfjord. Once in Lofoten, witness one of the most spectacular light constellations – The Northern lights or get transported back to the Viking age at the Lofotr Viking Museum. Experience midnight golf at the Lofoten Golf Links course; with its proximity to the ocean and rugged mountain terrain, it promises a great golfing experience. Enjoy mountaineering with panoramic views or play fisherman for a day. At Lofoten, the sun never sets!
The seven principal islands of Lofoten are Austvagoy, Gimsøy, Vestvagoy, Flakstadoy, Moskenesoy, Vaeroy and Røst. Spend a day bird watching at Rost. Situated at the tip of Lofoten, the island of Røst, is home to the largest number of nesting birds in Norway. Climb up to the Skomvaer lighthouse, which is the final outpost overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Hop on a boat and tour through Moskstrommen, for a date with the natural elements. Don’t forget to visit Refsvikhula cave, a gigantic and awe-inspiring coastal cavern which has about 3000-year-old cave paintings sketched on its walls.
Experience the sun set over the horizon at the pebbled beach at Eggum. At Eggum and Unstad, all houses are clustered together providing a picturesque view. Planning to go fishing? Visit the Henningsvaer, which is one of the most popular fishing villages in Lofoten. Experience that adrenalin rush as you go rafting at Moskstraumen, which is renowned as one of the world’s strongest tidal currents in open waters.
With 24 hours of daylight and activities galore, Lofoten islands are an ideal ensemble of picturesque locations, fun activities and lazy beaches.
