Lofotmuseet
The Lofoten Museum is situated in an idyllic spot by the water’s edge, on the site of the medieval town of Vágar. The impressive manor house was completed in 1815, when Caspar Lorch was the owner of the fishing village. Here he traded and exported fish, as well as renting out cabins to the fishermen who came to join the winter season. There are also several boathouses with a large collection of traditional wooden boats to explore, as well as a charming “krambu”, or general store, and a lovely garden with historic perennials. Private guiding by appointment.

Midnattsol safari
Henningsvær is a beautiful little place 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. From 23 May we have sun around the clock. At night, the sun is low and the light is at its most beautiful. With large rib boats, we go from Henningsvær and west through narrow straits out to the ocean on the outer side. This is where you can witness amazing view of the sun the best. We look out for sea eagles, puffins, and seals on the trip. If we're lucky, we'll also spot whales.

Nusfjord authentic village
At the end of a secluded valley stretching toward the sea, the heritage of our historic fishing village blends with every desire of modern adventurers.
Ofoten bahn
The Ofoten line (“Ofotbanen”) stretches up to 43 kilometers from Narvik to the Swedish Border (Bjørnfjell), where it connects with the Swedish Ore Line (Malmbanan). Necessary to transport iron-ore from the mines in Kiruna to the ice-free port of Narvik, the construction of the trainline began in the late 19th century. By employing over 5000 “rallers” (skilled laborers), using innovative engineering techniques in order to cross the challenging mountain terrains, create bridges, tunnels and steep inclines, the Ofoten railway officially opened in 1902. Not long after, the line was of significant strategic importance during WWII: The Battle of Narvik in 1940 was fought in part to control the iron ore supply, vital for the war industry.
Puffin Safari
The puffin with it´s white breast and colourful beak is one of our most beautiful seabirds. For eight months it´s living way out on the open sea, far from the coast. In the middle of april, the pairs return to Bleiksøya for breeding. The nests are dug out into the ground. The puffin is monogam, has only one egg per season. The oldest ringmarked puffin found in Norway was 43 years old, average age is 25 – 30 years. They can dive as far as nearly hundred metres to catch fish, and can easily carry many fish in the beak at the same time.
Ryten hike
To the north, a late summer sun hangs low over calm waters of the Norwegian sea. Below, Kvalvika beach is illuminated in golden sunlight while a distant rainbow marks the recent passing of a light rain shower. Standing on the beach, Ryten appears as a massive cliff rising to a height of 543 meters directly from the sea. From above, the view back towards Kvalvika beach is one of the most spectacular to be found anywhere on the Lofoten Islands; it is worth making the hike up Ryten for nothing more than this view alone.
