Activities, attractions and tours

We abandoned our plans to explore the northwest side of the islands this day when the Arctic Sun rose and hovered just above the horizon for the next 2.5 hours. Instead we just drove the coast on a aimless adventure following the light. Lofoten is a magical place. #BVSquad #BVSBlue

Invisible from the road, I found this little shack while running around like a chicken with my head cutoff taking pictures of everything, a common theme of my Lofoten adventure. Unfortunately just as common, this was yet another 5 minute side of the road stop with no chance to take my time or even grab my tripod. #BVSquad #BVSBlue

This tiny surfing village in Norway has a population of 15. Surfers flock from all over the world to surf in this perfect wave condition. It is cold but the hardy do not seem to mind. On this particular evening the sky erupted in #green. I braved the frigid water as it reflected back onto the beach. The tide was rising rapidly but I was mesmerized by the #green lights of the sky dancing over my head. I could see the Milky Way, it was a wonderful discovery. If you happen to be in Northern Norway, it is worth a visit. #greenphotos
