Lofoten Islands LOFOTEN
consists of a string of islands about 200 km. long, lying north of the arctic circle and reaching out into the Norwegian Sea. These islands form one of the most distinctive and beautiful areas in the world with majestic naked mountain formations that plummet into the ocean. There are countless fjords (arms of the sea) and harbors, and many small fishing hamlets all bathed in the midnight sun during the short and hectic summer season.

Scenic Anchorage Thanks to the Gulf Stream which runs up along the western coast of Norway, this area, despite its high latitude is blessed with a relatively mild climate. In the wake of the abundant sea life, sperm whales, minke whales, killer whales and even dolphins frolic and feed through the islands.

A Lofoten Harbor Local fishing boats are practically the only other vessels to be encountered - you will feel like the sole privileged visitors in these pristine and exotic surroundings. It's the perfect place to get away from it all. If you need to stay in touch with the outside world however, rest assured that there is excellent GSM (cellular phone) coverage throughout.

Bring your family, or invite some friends or associates to an experience that will simply never be forgotten. Believe it or not, the sun never sets between May 21 and July 27 !
