Lofoten Islands & the Midnight Sun: 7 Days 6 Nights of Oslo, Tromsø & Arctic Summer

The Arctic in summer, when the sun never sets. This tour flies you from Oslo to Tromsø and then travels overland to the Lofoten Islands, with a midnight sun tour in both places. It suits couples, photographers and nature lovers who want something different from the usual Europe trip, with central Thon hotels (Opera in Oslo, Tromsø and Lofoten in Svolvær) and time to slow down in the islands.

Lofoten is the reason to go. Jagged mountains rise straight out of the sea, fishing villages of red rorbu cabins line the harbours, and white beaches look almost tropical under the long Arctic light. A guided tour shows you the main islands, and a second midnight sun tour takes you out when the light is at its most golden. Don’t miss the hike up Mount Fløya above Svolvær on your free day — the view over the islands is worth every step.

Tromsø and Oslo complete the journey: a guided tour of the capital with the Holmenkollen ski jump and the Vigeland Sculpture Park and a dinner cruise on the Oslofjord, then a night in the Arctic capital with your first midnight sun excursion, before a full-day scenic bus ride through the mountains and fjords of northern Norway to Svolvær.

Why go now? The midnight sun shines in Lofoten from late May to mid-July, and the light stays bright all night through August — this tour runs from 15 June to 31 August, the best of the Arctic summer. Hotels in Lofoten are few and fill early, so plan your Indian summer-holiday dates ahead. Norway is a Schengen country — our team arranges your Schengen visa along with the tour. For more ideas, read our guide to places to visit in Norway.

Good to know: the Lofoten and midnight sun tours are scheduled small-group tours, and the journey to Svolvær is by public bus — about 12 hours, a long but very scenic day.
