How the tour works?

We pick you up from your accommodation or a nearby meeting point. No stressing about narrow mountain roads, no fighting for parking at trailheads. You just hop in and enjoy the scenery from the start.

We take you where the buses don’t go

Our guests keep telling us that they would never have found these places on their own. After years of living here, we know the quiet beaches, the hidden viewpoints, and the spots where you won’t see another tourist. That’s where we take you.

We go beyond the tour

Bad weather? We’ll have hot cocoa and biscuits ready in the car. Road closure ahead? We’ll reroute your whole trip so you don’t miss your flight.

By the time we drop you off, you’ll know where to eat, what to hike next, and where to watch the northern lights from your doorstep.

But don't take our word for it

We could tell you we’re awesome at running guided tours in Lofoten, but real guests already have, in their own words, on Google and TripAdvisor. So, check it out!

We could really feel our guide Tomas’s passion for his job, as he explained the science behind northern lights through the most understandable ways and played traditional northern folk music in the van. On top of all of this, he was as thrilled about the appearance of aurora as we were despite having witnessed it countless times. He knew exactly where to go and how to take successful photos with the northern lights. Overall, the guide stayed truly professional and care-taking throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend!!!! (We witnessed very clear aurora in late August btw, do believe in low chances!)

: We had a wonderful time with Guide to Lofoten! Our guide, Marek, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Lofoten. He showed us beautiful places, shared interesting stories and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable for our family. Even though we had to finish the tour a little earlier than planned because of the weather condition, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Norway. We left with amazing memories and a real appreciation for this beautiful part of the world. Thank you, Marek, for such a special day. We would happily recommend Guide to Lofoten to anyone looking for a personal and unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a truly magical experience with the Guide to Lofoten team! A huge thank you to Ivar and Radka for meticulously customizing our journey from Lofoten all the way to Tromsø. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our trip seamless and unforgettable. Ivar responded to all our questions in a consistently professional and kind manner, and both Ivar and Radka kindly took the time to see us off, which was a very thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Special appreciation goes to our wonderful guide, driver, and friend, Marek (Mark). His professionalism, responsibility, and warm personality made all the difference. He took us along the most breathtaking scenic routes, shared his local knowledge, and ensured we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. From the stunning landscapes to the exceptional service, every moment exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed this incredible adventure and would highly recommend Guide to Lofoten to anyone planning to explore this spectacular part of Norway. Once again, thank you—tusen takk! 🇳🇴

I spent two amazing days with Marek as my guide, and it was hands down, the best part of my two weeks in Norway! Marek's knowledge of the area, history and ability to get us into places to see them during times that were not filled with people was awesome. I spent the next 5-days with my hiking group treating them to as much knowledge as I could from those two days. I HIGHLY recommend Marek as your guide of choice should you ever find yourself in the Lofoten Islands of Norway. Absolutely the best money spent!

Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t cancel for rain or snow, that’s just Lofoten. We do cancel for genuinely dangerous conditions (storms, blizzards, unsafe roads), and you get a full refund. We’ll also tell you honestly if a tour won’t be enjoyable in the forecast.

Yes, hotel pickup is included for tours starting in the same village (Reine, Leknes, Svolvær). For other locations, we arrange a meeting point.

English. Both Ivar and Radka are fluent. We can also do Czech and Slovak if needed (just ask).

Layers, always. Even in summer. We can send you a packing list after booking based on what we actually wear when guiding.

Yes, see our private tours. The whole van is yours, your own pace, your own stops.

No one can promise that. What we can promise: we’ll know the forecast, we’ll go to the best clear-sky spot, and we’ll wait. Our success rate is around 80 % across the season.

For summer (Jul–Aug) and northern lights season (Jan–Mar), book 2–3 months ahead. With max 7 spots per tour, dates fill up fast.

Not sure which tour fits you?

We get it – choosing a tour from another country, in a place you’ve never been, isn’t easy. That’s why you can contact us. Tell us when you’re coming and what you’d like to see. We’ll send you back honest advice even if that means recommending you skip a tour and go DIY.
