Review of Lofoten Lights’ six-hour summer cruise bus tour, with beaches, fishing villages, mountain views, practical tips, value, and drawbacks.

“Six hours was too long for this excursion. There’s not enough things to see that will hold your interest. It’s all about the same from one village to the next. The church was nice otherwise we were anxious to get back to the ship.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 40 reviews · from $161

Snorkel Arctic waters in Lofoten from a RIB boat, spot kelp, crabs and fish, and stay warm in a dry suit with a small expert-led group.

“Lofoten Diving in Ballstad had me snorkeling in Arctic waters, which I thought would be a one-way ticket to Popsicle Town! But wetsuits are magic, folks. Floating above swaying sea kelp and urchins that looked like grumpy hedgehogs was surreal. The sea-life? Stunning—like an underwater art gallery curated by Poseidon himself. 10/10, would shiver again!”

14.Special Summer Cruise Guided Tour of Lofoten

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 23 reviews

See Lofoten’s beaches, fjords, villages, and mountain views on a six-hour cruise excursion from Gravdal or Svolvær.

“It was a nice bus trip in the end, but because of the somewhat confusing translation you used, we were under the impression that it was a boat trip. You refer to it as a "Rondvaart" (boat trip) instead of a "Rondrit" (tour). However, the excursion was well organized, with a good guide and enough stops to see all the sights.”

Review of Lofoten’s six-hour private tour from Leknes, with beaches, fjords, fishing villages, flexible stops, snacks, and port pickup.

“a small group tour was so perfect for visiting. Our guide Alicja was so responsive to our wishes and happy to slow down or speed up and find the best places for us that often tour buses would not find. She was so knowledgeable and helpful to those in our group who needed extra help. Our group was from a tour boat and we were returned exactly at the time we requested. A really wonderful and unique day.”
