Lofoten, Norway, Trip Details
6-Day Photographic Adventure
This is really something special. We will be staying in beautiful historic red 'fishermen's 'Rorbuer' cabins in the heart of one of the most beautiful towns in Norway - Reine. The town is surrounded by the 'Lofoten wall' of scenic mountains'. Just step right outside your cabin and you're in the most dramatic landscape setting.
Getting to the trip
SAS airlines and Wideroe fly to Leknes from Oslo. Due to flight delays and disruptions, we advise that you should stay a night in Oslo on your way out and also on your way back to ensure you make your homeward connection.

Daily Schedule Outline
The days are short in February, but this has plenty of benefits. Because the sun is low in the sky all day it means we have beautiful light lasting all day and it's possible to make great photos even at mid day.Sunrise is late at 8am allowing for more time in bed while sunset is early at 4:30pm, meaning we'll be back at our accommodation in Reine for dinner and some well earned time off in the evenings.
7:00 - 9:00am
On location for sunrise. Most mornings we will spend in and around the town of Reine, once voted Norway's most scienic town. The surrounding area has plenty to keep us occupied.
9:00 - 10:00am
Breakfast.
10:00am - 12:00pm
