Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Oslo
Airport meet-and-greet and transfer to your hotel. A free evening to recover from the long flight, with a halal dinner near the hotel.
Day 2
Flying north
A domestic flight to Svolvær airport in the heart of Lofoten — your first sight of Arctic scenery from the air. Hotel check-in and an orientation walk around the harbour.
Day 3
Svolvær & the Trollfjord
A boat trip into the Trollfjord, barely a hundred metres wide between towering rock walls, with a chance to spot white-tailed sea eagles. Back in the afternoon, with free time.
Day 4
Henningsvær & the fishing villages
A day along the E10 national road across bridges linking the islands. We stop in the artistic village of Henningsvær, then continue to Reine, where we stay in waterfront rorbu cabins.
Day 5
Reine & Haukland beach
A free morning among the lanes of Reine, then a drive to the turquoise water of Haukland beach — ideal for families and photographs. For those who wish, an optional moderate hike to a high viewpoint.
Day 6
Nusfjord & the village of Å
A visit to Nusfjord, one of Norway’s oldest preserved fishing villages, then the village of Å at the end of the road. A halal lunch of fresh seafood.
Day 7
Midnight sun at sea
A relaxed day in the islands, then in the evening a private boat trip to watch the sun graze the horizon without setting. Arabic coffee and tea served on board.
Day 8
Departure
Transfer to the airport and return flight via Oslo, with full assistance at check-in and with tax refunds.
Good to know
Halal food guaranteed
Every meal in the programme is 100% halal. We work with certified halal kitchens in Oslo, Bergen and Tromsø, and in remote areas we carry pre-prepared halal meals or arrange fresh seafood and vegetarian alternatives. Dietary allergies are noted at the time of booking.
Prayer times & qibla
The daily schedule is built around prayer times. Stops are planned to allow comfortable prayer breaks, your guide carries the day’s prayer timetable for the city you are in and will point out the qibla direction. Clean prayer mats are kept on board the vehicle, and we time arrivals at hotels or nearby mosques around the main prayers. Because Norwegian summer days are extremely long, your guide briefs you before departure on how prayer timings work at these northern latitudes.
Private & family-only groups
This tour can be booked as a private departure for your family or friends only — with no other guests joining. Private departures include a dedicated vehicle, a private Arabic-speaking guide, and full flexibility over departure times and rest stops.
