Private Shore Excursions in Lofoten
Exclusive guiding in Lofoten – away from the crowds, guaranteed on time back to the ship.
← Not a cruise guest? Go to the regular custom tour inquiryThere are more sheep than people living in Lofoten. That is great for the sheep, but it also means our local infrastructure is simply not designed to handle thousands of cruise guests simultaneously. Taxis are highly limited, and the true highlights of the untouched wilderness are impossible to reach on foot from the harbors.
While the port in Svolvær allows you to explore the town center directly, the tender port in Leknes is located significantly out of town—literally next to a waste management facility. While this might be a highly interesting spot for passionate ornithologists looking for Arctic seagulls, for everyone else, it means a 45-minute walk along a busy highway just to reach the town itself.
Public buses do exist, but departures are rare. A crucial logistical factor that is often overlooked: The peak summer travel season falls exactly during the Norwegian school holidays, which means the already thin public transport schedule is reduced even further.
By pre-booking a private van, you completely bypass these logistical hurdles and waiting times, maximizing the short time you have ashore.
