From Svolvær: Lofoten Fishing Boat Cruise

About this experience

The From Svolvær: Lofoten Fishing Boat Cruise departs from Svolvær, the main town of the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway, and takes guests out onto the open waters of the Norwegian Sea. Svolvær sits within the Vågan municipality and serves as the commercial and transport hub of Lofoten, surrounded by sharp mountain peaks and deep fjords that define the region's character. On board, passengers fish using traditional lines and jigs, with common catches including cod, coalfish, and haddock depending on the season. The crew provides equipment and guidance throughout. Tickets cover the boat trip, fishing gear, and the handling of any catch. For more activities in the wider region, see things to do in Oslo and across Norway.
