Picture standing on the tee and looking out at the open sea, magnificent mountains and getting the midnight sun along the horizon. This is what you get when you visit the golf course in Lofoten. Besides the increased risk of ending up in the water, there really does not seem to be anything bad to say about this golf course. So grab your golf bag and get going!
3. Sleep in cozy fisherman cabins
To travel to Lofoten is really an experience itself, but you could also make more out of it by staying in authentic fisherman cabins down by the bay. Our fishing huts are charming with their smaller size and traditional red color. They are also equipped with all necessities. Living in the fishing huts will definitely let you get a feel of what it’s like to be a part of the active fishing environment.
4. Come along for a fishing trip
Ever since the viking age, Lofoten has continued to be a central place for fishing. To capture a fish can really give you the feeling of mastery, and with boats and equipment available for rent, you can choose if you would like to go on a trip by yourself or join one of our guided trips. Here at Lofoten havfiske we love fishing and are happy to help you find the best spots which will guarantee a catch!
5. Hikes with a magnificent view
To climb a mountain may for someone be a bit tougher than they would have wished for, but the feeling you are left with will leave no regrets. In Lofoten there are multiple hikes you can take, both on your own and with a guide. The view over Lofoten will without a doubt be something quite extraordinary.
