Scenic villages of Lofoten + Icelandic horses farm

Book tourBook tour

This guided tour has been specially created for rough Lofoten winters and lack of light during the Polar Night periode. It’s done in a very small cozy group (max. 8 people) with an experienced local guide.

We’ll travel along some of the most scenic and picturesque places on the main island of Lofoten, Austvågøy, and the most mysterious island - Gimsøy. And after that, when the lights will be going down, we’ll visit a local farm with Icelandic horses on the remote beautiful seaside. 

Part 1: Sightseeing tour. In this tour we will, among other beautiful places, visit 

  • The legendary village of Henningsvær
  • “Lofoten Cathedral” - the biggest and the main church of Lofoten
  • The remote beaches of Gimsøy, facing the Vesterålen mountains
  • Gimsøy church - the only Lofoten church, that is being held by stripes not to “fly away” from the wind

Part 2. Visit to the Hov Gård - Icelandic horses farm, located on the most hidden part of Gimsøy island. There we’ll be welcomed by local guide and given a tour around. We’ll have time to spend with beautiful, fluffy and tough Icelandic horses, pet and have cozy time with them.

There will be a chance to have a coffee break with a homemade cakes at a home bakery at the farm.
