Hurtigruten/Havila Private Lofoten Excursion from Svolvær

Make the best of your short time in the amazing Lofoten Islands. Explore in a small private setting avoiding large crowds and wastes of time due to big bus operations. Enjoy unforgettable views while immersed in the silence of wild arctic nature. Take several short stops to bring home beautiful photos and memories. Taste some delicious local traditional snacks. Arrive safely to your departure port with a good advance on the all-on-board time. We strongly suggest to create your own group (max. 8 pax) by involving fellow passengers from your Hurtigruten or Havila ship, this way you can lower the per person rate.
