Itinerary
1/3 Ferry from Bodø to Moskenes
To save a lot of traveling hours from Tromso to Lofoten and back, we decided to start our journey this time in Bodo and sail to Moskenes together with our car. To reach Lofoten, we will pick you up from the airport or a city. We have to take the ferry from Bodø in the afternoon. We highly advise you to fly to Bodø a day before on the 28th to get a proper rest before our departure. Unfortunately, we can’t book the ferry for you as it requires sensitive personal data, but you can do so through the webpage we will send you later when the new schedule for next year is published. You need to book a one-way ticket only. Have in mind that our return flight should be from Tromso.
Evening: Check-in and group dinner, followed by a brief orientation about the upcoming adventure.
2/3 Haukland & Mannen Viewpoint
Enjoy a full-day photography tour exploring Hauklangstranda, one of the most iconic beaches on Lofoten. In the afternoon, we hike up to the Mannen viewpoint for breathtaking views.
Day: Capture iconic beach scenes and Dragon Eye formations in the sand. Hike up to Mannen for sunset views.
Night: Aurora shoot (if weather permits).
3/3 Hamnøy, Reine & Å
Day: Make breakfast or have coffee and be ready for our next adventure full of stunning views. We will have a full-day excursion to Hamnøy, Reine & Å fishing villages along Lofoten. We will capture the classic Norwegian postcard scenes, including Hamnøy's red fishing cabins, and yellow cabins of Sakrisoy, to have a picnic lunch at one of the picturesque spots. We continue in the afternoon photography expedition in Reine, another iconic Lofoten location with stunning mountains and fjords and the southmost village of Å.
Night: If the skies are clear, we will chase the aurora from the best locations we saw during the day.
4/3 Road-trip
In previous days, we saw the best views that can be seen on Lofoten. Now it's time to move on and continue all the way to Senja island for our next adventures. It's a long journey with a beautiful stop at the well-known place, Polar Park. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing lynx, wolves, or mooses from a close distance. Have You ever pet the cutest polar fox in the world? You will, there!
Evening: Group dinner in accommodation, followed by a brief orientation about Lofoten and the upcoming days.
5/3 Night photography in Senja
Day: Full-day photography tour among the best locations in Senja. We will search for the best compositions for night shooting and enjoy the whole day outside.
Night: Aurora shoot (if weather permits).
6/3 Departure from Senja
Our last day of this trip will continue in Tromsø. Although it has less than 75,000 inhabitants, it is the second-largest European city beyond the Arctic Circle (after Murmansk, Russia). We will visit the iconic Arctic cathedral, walk around Storgata Street in the center of the city, and go for a sunset with a cable car to the viewpoint above the nice Arctic city. After that, we will end our workshop at a beautiful dinner in the city center. It's always hard to say goodbye, but when something ends, new adventures just begin.
Upon our late evening return on 6/3 to Tromsø it’s possible that you’ll not find a suitable flight. We highly recommend spending one more night in the city and flying the next day.
