DAY 1 - ARRIVAL DAY

The best place to start this tour is in Evenes, Norway, a city with excellent flight connections worldwide. On the arrival day, we will pick you up from the airport and drive approximately 170 km (around 3 hours) to Svolvær, where we will stay for the first two nights.

Day 2 - Lofoten Islands

After starting our day with breakfast, we head towards the Lofoten Islands. Our journey takes us through many villages, each with its own beautiful beaches, mountains, and bridges. The road to the city of Å shows the unique landscape that makes Lofoten so famous. We take in the breath-taking views during our 8-10 hour exploration before spending the night in Svolvær. The next day, we continue our adventure to Tromsø.

Day 3 - Lofoten Islands

After breakfast, we begin our drive to Tromsø, where we will stay the night. On the way, we’ll stop to see the famous Målselv waterfalls in Barbufoss. The drive is about 7 hours. After we have arrived to Tromso, you will have the rest of the evening free to explore the city at your own pace.

Day 4 - Honningsvåg

After breakfast, we start our journey to Honningsvåg, where we will stay for the next two nights. The trip from Tromsø to Honningsvåg includes two ferry rides, offering beautiful views of Norway’s coast between the mountains. If there are strong winds, we will travel by car instead, with the journey taking approximately 8 hours. Upon arrival in Honningsvåg, we’ll head to our accommodation and relax for the rest of the day.

Day 5 - day 2 of Honningsvåg

On our second day in Honningsvåg, we will go on a bird safari to Norway’s largest bird nesting areas. Traveling by ferry, you’ll have the opportunity to see thousands of puffins, cormorants, gannets, eiders, guillemots, razorbills, and numerous sea eagles. The trip also offers a chance to spot seals resting on the reefs, and with some luck, you might even see a whale during the safari.

In the evening, we will make trip to Nordkapp where you will be able to see best the Midnight Sun (4 hours trip from 9pm to 1am). Nordkapp is the northernmost point accessible by a vehicle in the world. In Nordkapp you will be standing in 300 meters cliff edge and see the midnight sun which means that the sun is trying to go down, but it will still stay above the trees and mountains the whole midnight and then it starts to rise again. Additionally, in Nordkapp you will see a film which takes you on a journey through the four seasons of Nordkapp and tells you more about the midnight. After the midnight we will go back to Honningsvåg to sleep.

Days 6 & 7 - Inari, Finland

After breakfast, we drive 6 hours to the Kankiniemi resort in Inari, where we’ll stay for two nights. This unique resort is located by Finland’s largest lake, Inarijärvi. Here you get to experience life without electricity in a 100-year-old villa, engaging in activities like warming the house, fetching water, fishing for dinner, making bonfires, and heating the sauna.

Our guides are there to make everything for you but you can also decide to help with every activity that the villa and accommodating needs. Enjoy quality time with family and friends, play yard games, savor good food, and take refreshing swims in the lake. Our guides are always available to assist, ensuring a memorable stay in Finnish nature.

Day 8 - Departure Day

or the extended holiday to Rovaniemi, Finland

After the breakfast we can drive you to the Airport of Ivalo where your journey can end and you can continue your way back home. In case you find flights more easily from Rovaniemi, we can continue our way to Rovaniemi. On our way to Rovaniemi we will make some pit stops to see example an old brown bear’s nest and go to a gold mining where you can also try mining a gold by yourself. If needed to get flights on the next day, you can stay the night in our Villa Snowest for 450€/night/group.

If you prefer to extend you trip and explore more in Rovaniemi, you can stay extra nights in Rovaniemi in our private Villa Snowest and try fishing, berry picking, out door sauna, swimming under the midnight sun and go to see the real Santa Claus in the Santa Claus Village for 450€/night/group.

Additionally, if you want to stay more than one night in Rovaniemi and you feel that you would like to go and try ”real” fishing and try to catch salmons, we can arrange a fishing trip (about 1 hour away from Rovaniemi) where you can try to catch salmons with our pro fishing teachers (not included in the price).
