Two weeks (or more!) with the family in Lofoten (page 2 of 2)

Hi,

We land in Narvik (EVE), and I was thinking of spending a night nearby on the way there and back. So that leaves me with just 5 nights directly on the islands. Even though we land at 12:50 PM, we could consider heading straight to the Lofoten Islands... since the sun doesn’t set ;).

Honestly, after landing in Narvik at 12:50 PM, I’d recommend heading straight to Henningsvær (about a 3-hour drive) to make the most of the Lofoten Islands.

Ok, that works for me too... and boom, one more day gained. I was thinking 3 nights, either around Henningsvær or on the north coast (toward Laukvik).

Then 3 nights either near Reine or on the other side toward Fredvang.

Thanks for your help! 🙂

Henningsvær seems less isolated than Laukvik, especially with Svolvær nearby, which has services and shops. After that, if you're mainly looking for isolation...

For the southern part, Reine is really the most touristy town, at the entrance to the archipelago's most spectacular fjords. Fredvang is much quieter and also has an interesting location: Kvalvika, Ryten (I couldn’t go, my biggest regret), Volandstinden... are all nearby.

The die is cast 😉

Thanks for your help 🙂
