Explore Lofoten and learn fascinating local history
Your tour starts in Lofoten's de facto capital, Svolvær, where you can admire Svolværgeita, the 150-metre stone pinnacle of the mountain Fløyfjellet that overlooks the town. Popular with mountain climbers, this iconic mountain peak is known for its goat-like appearance, with two horns protruding from the very top.
A scenic bus drive leads to Henningsvær, passing Vågan Church, the largest wooden church north of Trondheim, with the sea on one side and steep mountain walls on the other.
In Henningsvær, you'll visit Gallery Lofoten, home to one of Norway's finest collections of North Norwegian painting from the golden age of the early 20th century – art shaped by the very landscape that surrounds you.
You'll then return to Svolvær, arriving back at the ship after around 30 minutes on the road.
