    Discover three of Lofoten’s most iconic beaches on this half-day adventure from Svolvær. With a mix of breathtaking scenery, gentle walking, and a taste of local surf culture, this tour is the perfect way to experience the best of the islands in just a few hours.

  • Beaches.

    We begin with a scenic drive from Svolvær to Haukland Beach, often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Norway. Here, you’ll set out on foot for the coastal walk to Uttakleiv Beach, a 4 km trail that hugs the shoreline. The walk takes about an hour at a relaxed pace, with time to enjoy the views, snap photos, and soak up the raw beauty of the Arctic coast. Meeting again at Uttakleiv, you’ll see why this windswept bay has become one of the most photographed spots in Lofoten.

  • Arctic Surf.

    From Uttakleiv we continue by road to Unstad, a legendary surf beach where Arctic waves roll in beneath towering cliffs. Unstad is also famous for its café, where you’ll have the chance to enjoy a coffee and one of their cinnamon buns—considered among the best in Norway. You’ll have time to watch the surfers in action, stroll along the beach, and take in the unique atmosphere of this remote surf haven.

  • Road Trip.

    The tour concludes with a scenic drive back to Svolvær, bringing you full circle through some of the most striking landscapes in Lofoten. With pristine beaches, dramatic mountains, and a touch of Arctic surf culture, this experience is a perfect snapshot of life on the edge of the sea.
