Eagles galore on a peaceful boat trip
This 3 hour cruise provided access to fantastic views of white tailed eagles and the beautiful Trollfjord. The hybrid boat was very peaceful in the fjord so we could enjoy the tranquil environment. There was good deck space for viewing and when raining the inside space provided plenty of unrestricted viewing in a warm space. Commentary was informative and interesting. Pricey but worth it.

History and Sightseeing around Svolvaer
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.

Excellent evening watching the aurora ...
We were picked up from our Hotel with a few other guests (11 of us in all in two mini buses). The guide was very informative during the journey to the location to where we stopped in search of the aurora.We waited patiently, but not too long and the aurora appeared. We were at the end of the aurora season so the sightings weren't necessarily going to be really powerful, but once the aurora arrived it was pretty good.We took tripods and were given advice on how to photograph the aurora and the orange glow from the sun which had set earlier in the evening.We were offered a nice hot chocolate drink which warmed us through on a cold evening.We were out nearly four hours in all and dropped back at our hotel. It was an excellent evening.

Great choice: Northern Lights Tour + 2-Day Tour
Apart from the great luck to have found a wonderful evening for the dawn and then two days “nice for the period” , the choice of this tour operator (which we already remembered 15 years ago!) was super apt. Professionalism and efficiency at the time of the first contacts via email, kindness and sympathy then in person and finally top organization. Special thanks to Viggo! Punctual, polite, funny and competent.

Sami Reindeer Experience

Your experience is their top priority
We'd originally booked this tour, but in the days prior, the company let me know that a very large group had joined for the same day, and asked if we still wanted to go. Under those circumstances, we decided to pass, and they very kindly let us cancel even though it was technically too late. It might seem strange to review a tour that we didn't actually go on, but I was so impressed by a tour company that demonstrated that they put your experience ahead of their own profits, I really wanted to comment on that. You can be sure that the same will apply to any tours you book with them (we also did the aurora hunt and that was the same, they cared very much that everyone got what they wanted out of it).

We Loved the Reindeer Excursion
We had a great day with Dave and Erik. They both entertained the group with their knowledge of the area as we drove to see the reindeer.The experience itself was amazing. It started with a presentation of sorts by a Sami woman and owner of the property and around 700 reindeer. We learned about the Sami culture and about the reindeer, and then went out to meet and feed a handful of them. They’re very sweet creatures!On the way back, we took a ferry and Dave had a sandwich lunch for us. Even my 18-year old who doesn’t like anything loved this excursion.

Great quiet boat trip with eagles galore
Really good trip. Friendly helpful staff. I really appreciated how quiet the electric boat is - this made for a very peaceful wildlife and scenery watching experience. Seeing white tailed eagles was the highlight. We must have seen close to 40 of them all gathered on a few small rocky islets. Stunning

Great tour!
A great tour as it was just the 2 of us, Vilda was our guide. We saw Svinoya and Henningsvaer plus 2 deserted beaches. Henningsvaer felt very different to Reine as more locals lived here. Good shopping opportunities too. Definitely worth doing with Lofoten Insight tours.

Excellent experience
Excellent experience. Very competent and friendly guides. We had the chance to see a lot of Northern Lights that evening in all colors, greens, reds and all shapes. The photos taken by the guides were amazing. The guides' explanations were relevant and interesting. The chosen spot allowed us to see many auroras in different directions. We enjoyed the hot chocolate.
