  • Days 1-2

    Harstad and Vesterålen

    Start by getting your rental car at Harstad/Narvik airport (EVE). Try to arrive in early afternoon so you can get comfortable with driving while it's still light out. Stay in Harstad for your first two nights - it's perfectly positioned in the northern lights belt. You can take day trips north to see the Vesterålen Islands where you'll find stunning mountain scenery and quiet beaches.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Andenes and Whale Watching

    Move on to Andenes at the top of Andøya Island. This area is one of the best places in Norway to see whales with a 95% chance of spotting them. Take a 2-4 hour whale safari but pack warm clothes no matter the season. The Arctic wind gets pretty cold out on the water. The drive there on Road 7698/7702/82 gives you great ocean views and you might spot seals and eagles along the way.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Reine

    Take the ferry from Melbu to Fiskebøl to reach the Lofoten Islands. Try to avoid peak times in summer when lines get long. Book a traditional fisherman's rorbu in Reine well ahead of time. These water cabins on stilts are very popular. Visit the fishing villages of Å and Henningsvær where you'll see red cabins set against rocky mountain peaks.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Svolvær

    Stay in Svolvær next. It's the main town in Lofoten. Stop at the Lofotr Viking Museum on your way but get there before 10 AM to avoid the crowds. If you like being active try kayaking from Svolvær. The water is usually calmest early in the morning which is good for beginners.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Return to Harstad

    On your way back visit the Lofoten War Museum in Svolvær to learn about the area's WWII history. Leave extra time for the drive back to the airport. You'll probably want to stop for photos along the way.
