Lofoten Roadtrip Full Day Tour from Svolvaer

We’ll stop at a lovely viewpoint above Ramberg Beach – one of our favorite stretches of white sand in Lofoten. If everyone’s up for it, we usually take a little walk down to the beach to soak in the views and snap a few photos of the cute red cabin that’s become kind of iconic.

On the way from Ramberg to Fredvang, we usually make a quick stop at the fish drying racks – especially during the fishing season when they’re full of cod. Then we continue to Fredvangkrysset, where you can take some great photos of the iconic Fredvang bridges stretching across the water with the mountains in the background.

No trip to Lofoten is complete without snapping a photo of Eliassen Rorbuer from the Hamnøy bridge. It’s a quick stop – but one we never skip. The view is just too iconic: red cabins on the water, dramatic peaks, and that classic postcard shot everyone comes for.

Sakrisøy is one of those spots where we just have to make a proper stop – there’s a lot to show you! First of all, it’s a great place for lunch, because honestly, you won’t find better fish soup or fish burgers in the area than at Anita’s Seafood. It’s also a super charming place that gives you a little peek into Lofoten’s fishing culture, with all kinds of fish products on display (thinking of bringing a dried monkfish head to your mother-in-law? No judgment ). There are also some nice local souvenirs here if you're on the hunt for something authentic. And just next door is the iconic yellow cabin with Olstinden in the background – plus a few more photo spots we’ll let you in on when we get there!

Reine is the crème de la crème of Lofoten – the place everyone dreams about when they plan their trip here. It’s a charming little fishing village (with a not-so-charming parking situation). Since we always park legally, it means we’ll take a bit of a walk to get to the Reinehalsen viewpoint. But it’s worth it! We’ll stroll through the village, show you the harbor and the iconic red fishermen’s cabins, and then head up to the viewpoint and back. It’s one of those “yes, this is real” kind of places.

It’s quite a drive from Svolvær to Reine and back, so depending on the weather, time, and the group’s energy levels, we might make a few stops on the way back. Our itinerary isn’t strictly fixed – we like to keep things flexible and adjust based on the weather. Because let’s be honest: there’s no point in spending 30 minutes strolling on the beach if it’s raining cats and dogs, right?
