Lofoten, Hurtigruten and whale safari
We take the motorhome to Norway and are amazed by the magnificent nature. Come along to the island groups, which offer nature experiences that are hard to beat among high mountains, white beaches and picturesque fishing villages. We take Hurtigruten and go on a very successful whale safari.
Unbeatable views in Lofoten
The islands around Lofoten and Vesterålen in Norway are exceptionally beautiful and well worth seeing. Picturesque villages spread out among high mountains and flowering valleys. It’s so beautiful it’s hard to keep your eyes on the road. So, we stop to make our way on foot. There are many signposted footpaths, from easy tours to advanced one-day hikes.
Get impressed by the nature on Hurtigruten
Hurtigruten must be the world’s most beautiful sea journey. Unfortunately you can’t take your caravan or motorhome on board due to the height restrictions, but you can park your vehicle and go a few stops. Then hop off, have a bite to eat and take the next boat back. We went from Stokmarknes to Svolvaer – a three-hour journey that passes, among other places, Raftsundet and the famous Trollfjorden Fjord.

Whale safari outside Andenes
When in Andenes, we hear that there is a guarantee of seeing sperm whales on the whale safari – we don’t need to think for long. The tour starts at the museum, before heading out to sea. Sperm whales are seen on almost every tour, and if you’re lucky you may see killer whales, porpoises and humpback whales too.

Midnattsol Camping in Bleik on Andøya is a small, charming campsite where you stay right by the beach. The atmosphere is friendly and the main attraction is always the captivating nature that surrounds the campsite.
