Most meals included – (B,L,D) denotes Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 1 (D)

Arrive in Leknes, Norway. We recommend the flight at 8:35 am out of Oslo that lands at 11:25 am in Leknes . You'll be picked up from the airport, or the nearby hotel if you arrived early. We will do an orientation and check in to our cabins. We'll shoot sunset along the way if the light is good. Afterwards, we'll enjoy dinner as a group and monitor the aurora forecast, if it looks good, we'll head out for our first night session. We recommend buying lunch in Oslo or Bodo before arriving to Leknes.

Note: It may work best to overnight in Oslo at the airport hotel or arrive to Leknes the day before the trip, depending on your flight schedules from the US. This is not included, but we know this travel route well and can help you with your travel planning.

Day 2 - 4 (B,L*,D)

Over the next few days, we'll focus on the landscapes surrounding the quaint fishing village of Reine, with the iconic peak of Olstind Island towering over the fjord. We'll explore the beaches of Flakstadøya Island, including Skagsanden, Myrland, and Storsandnes, where you'll have countless opportunities to capture seascapes and dramatic coastal landscapes. As the night falls each night, we'll keep watch for the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. This area is packed with epic locations, all within short travel distances of our cabins.

Days 5 - 7 (B,L*,D)

On these days, we'll focus on the Leknes area on Vestvågøy. Locations will include the beautiful beaches of Uttakleiv, Haukland, and Vik. With a bit of luck, these stunning coastal areas will be blanketed in a fresh layer of snow, creating a magical winter wonderland. We'll take short walks to reach lesser-known viewpoints and explore the hidden corners of the island, uncovering new angles and perspectives that will bring your photographs to life. Every night, we'll be on the watch for aurora.

Day 8 (B)

We'll shoot a final sunrise in the fjords and have a group breakfast before traveling back to Leknes Airport to conclude the trip.

*Days are very short in winter and we will spend almost all daylight hours out shooting locations. Sometimes lunch will consist of snacks/sandwiches packed from breakfast, other times a cafe visit, and there may be 1-2 days where we do a grocery store stop. Lofoten is very remote and dining options in winter are few and far between.
