Svolvaer Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

An excellent introduction to southern Lofoten with an informative guide. He adapted to my needs to take random photographs of distant birds and kept us interested throughout.

The company does an excellent job communicating what you need to bring. The winter wet suits, googles, and gloves make it easy to just go and not think about what kind of wet gear you need. The boats have room for 12 passengers. In two hours you stop at multiple locations to see the eagles. We were in the second row to the front, and had difficulty hearing our guide. She was very sweet and answered my questions when I returned but a mic would have made the experience better as what we did hear was very interesting. It would have been considerably less expensive if we booked with them directly. This was a great experience!

Amazing experience! We were lucky enough to be placed in front of the boat. So the views and sensations were incredible. The guide was very knowledgeable and did her best to allow everyone to experience the birds as close as possible. Would completely recommend !

We had a brilliant day out on the Reine, Hamnøy, Sakrisøy Photo Tour from Svolvær, with Kristian. He was very informative and relaxed. There was only four of us which was nice too. We stopped at really beautiful places for photo stops and the scenery along the way to Reine was stunning. Would definitely recommend the trip with Kristian.

Spectacular experience - Rodger our guide was brilliant

Vilde ( our young woman tour guide) was very knowledgeable about the Lofoten area and its history. It was well presented. Her English was excellent. She made the tour very enjoyable. Spent a little time viewing an old fisherman’s cabin and how they lived, along with their equipment and belongings. She was always looking for the special sights to show us while in the van. The van ride was comfortable.

Erik was a great guide who helped us step into and feel the history of Lofoten. The locations of the tour, coupled with his enthusiastic stories and photography tips made it plenty enjoyable for us.

This was such a pleasant tour thru the county, to the ocean and quaint little towns. Very picturesque. Anita’s for lunch was such a treat. Dina our guide was very knowledgeable and quite fun. She also pointed out eagles flying and the big treat of seeing two goats on the roof of a house covered in grass. True! The management was a big help when somehow we double booked. Nice tour.

We had a wonderful family trip to Lofoten. Our driver and guide, Mark, was fantastic. He brought us to stunning spots with breathtaking, panoramic views of the mountains, fjords, and the open sea. Mark also took us to some spectacular white sand beaches. Having a private guide made the experience seamless, relaxed, and tailored to my family’s pace. Thank you, Mark, for an unforgettable day! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Norway.

Fabulous trip! Tomas was an expert at chasing the sun on a classic ‘moody and dramatic’ ie cloudy wet day and helped us to make the most of the best opportunities. Super knowledgable and interesting to talk to and nothing was to much trouble. The area is stunning whatever the weather but especially recommend the adapability provided. Thanks for great memories ! Thanks for the extra photos taken also 😊

The guide was so nice and tried her Best to travel around Lofoten Islands. Highly recommended to everyone!

Andrea gave a fantastic tour! He is a very charming guy who showed us around Lofoten's beautiful coastlines.

Everything about this day was amazing. Luckily, we had perfect weather. Getting a chance to be so close to the sea eagles is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I highly recommend this as a way to spend a morning or an afternoon.

Great views and knowledgeable driver. Flexible with stopping for photos.The tour was good but having to type a minimum of 100 characters into the review is stupid.

We had a super nice and interesting visit with the son of the brewery founder. And the subsequent tasting was great!! The tour was worth the money!

Fantastic tour to see all the highlights of Lofoten Island in a day
