9.Wildlife Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews · from $152

Join a local wildlife photographer for a four-and-a-half-hour drive through Lofoten’s mountains and coastal areas. In a group of no more than six, you’ll search for moose, owls, foxes, and birds, stop for photos, and use extra lenses if needed. Sightings are never guaranteed, but local contacts improve your chances.

“The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the local area. Just 6 of us on the trip, so the small mini bus could go places that larger operators couldn't have gone. In addition to the Wildlife the scenery was amazing. Would definitely recommend!!”
