Learn more about the nature and history of Lofoten.
This scenic bus tour from Svolvær takes you through some of Lofoten's most spectacular landscapes, including sheltered bays, white-sand beaches, and rolling green farmland, all illuminated by the extraordinary light that has attracted artists from across Norway and around the world for centuries.
You'll stop in Henningsvær, a charming fishing village of around 500 residents that was once the most important fishing community in the Lofoten archipelago. Protected since 2022, its picturesque harbor is now lined with art galleries, craft shops, and cafés while still maintaining its strong fishing heritage.
You'll also visit Galleri Lofoten, home to one of Norway's largest collections of Northern Norwegian art. The collection includes works from the turn of the 20th century, a period widely regarded as the golden age of Northern Norwegian painting.
From Henningsvær, the journey continues to Stamsund, where you'll rejoin your ship.
