Description
Venture over the Arctic Circle and experience quiet roads rolling along fjords and the crystal sea, seabird serenades, marvelous views in every direction, deliciously healthy seafood feasts, and more, all under the glorious light that changes, glows, and shines into the night. Best of all, you'll ride with guide (and trip designer) Sandro Della Mea, a native Norwegian with years of experience leading trips on Lofoten.

On Day 2, ride a coastal loop to Gimsoy and Brenna, where we'll dismount to hike along some of the most stunning coast you'll ever see.

Day 4: Stamsund
Follow a gorgeous coastal road teeming with wildlife to Stamsund, where fishermen and artists live side by side.

It's wheels and waves on Day 5 as you ride to Ballstaad. To get there, we'll board a ferry to the fishing village of Nusfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Days 6 and 7 are packed with discoveries. Ride beside white beaches to the fishing port of Tind. Hear the cacophony of the kittiwake colony on the cliffs of Hamnoy. Hike around a mountain lake under the midnight sun.
