Registration will close 90 days before the trip, however, this trip is likely to fill up fast! Please note that I only have 14 spots available.

If you are interested in going, I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible versus later. 

I require an initial deposit of $500 to hold your spot (which is refundable for 30 days) and then I offer 2 different payment plan options to break up the trip fee. You can either choose to make 2 payments of $1600 (due Jan 1st and May 1st) OR you can do 5 payments of $640 (due Nov 1st, Jan 1st, Feb 1st, March 1st, May 1st).

Also, I will be sending out automatic email reminders before each payment is due.

If you prefer to pay in full, please contact me at [email protected].

International flights to and from Svolvaer, Norway are NOT included in your trip fee. In addition, alcoholic beverages and snacks, tips for guides, incidentals, and travel fees are not included.

Also, rock climbing at Svolvaergeita (approx $200 USD) is an optional and an extra fee should you decide to participate.

Travel insurance is not included, but HIGHLY recommended in case you need to cancel your trip or if something happens to you while in Iceland. To get a free quote to cover your trip, go here.

Your trip fee covers all accommodations in 3 and 4-star rorbeurs or cabins, transportation in Norway, ALL meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), guides, excursions, entrance fees, and mini photography workshops.

The group trip starts at 4PM on July 18th, so you need to arrive to Svolvaer before then. If your flight comes in anytime that day, we will pick you up from the airport. If you arrive the day before, you will need to arrange your own hotel for that night, along with transportation to/from the hotel.

To get to Svolvaer, you can book an international flight to Oslo and then a 2 hour domestic flight to Svolvaer. Domestic flights are on average between $200-300 USD round trip from Oslo to Svolvaer.

Alternatively, you could fly to Bodo and take a ferry to Moskenes (around 3-4 hours), however, you would then need to get a shuttle bus to Svolvaer from Moskenes (around 2 hours), so this option isn't ideal.

On Friday July 25th, the trip ends in the morning and you can book your flight to leave anytime after noon that day. 

This trip costs more than most of my other group trips because Norway is EXPENSIVE! In fact, it's one of the top 3 most expensive countries in the world.

On top of that, we are going in July, which is considered "peak" season so prices are higher on everything--hotels, food, transportation, gas, activities, etc. We are staying in amazing rorbeurs and cabins which are more expensive than other comparable hotels in cheaper countries. I also wanted to include some amazing bucketlist experiences which is NOT cheap.

In addition, food is more expensive in Norway. To give you an idea, I am budgeting about $100 USD/person every day on meals, so that adds up.

Keep in mind that you are also paying for a travel expert to not only plan the whole trip for you (so you literally just show up ;), but be your own personal tour guide around Norway too.

I also want to mention that I offer payment plans to break up the cost over the course of 10 months leading up to the trip.

All in all, this trip is one of those "once-in-a-lifetime experiences", and trust me, it will be worth every penny! ;)

Weather in Northern Norway can be extreme and unpredictable ANY time of year. Though we are not likely to have super cold weather or snowstorms in the Summer, you will want to be prepared for ALL conditions. This means that you should pack LAYERS. Down jacket, fleece, rain parka, base layers, warm socks, beanie, and even gloves. I will be emailing a full packing list prior to the trip.

First of all, food in Norway (especially the Lofoten Islands) is expensive. The Norweigan diet consists of a lot of fish but you can find chicken, beef and vegetarian options too. Reindeer meat is also popular!

I will send out a survey prior to the trip requesting your food preferences and allergies. This way we can choose restaurants and cook food that everyone will enjoy!

*Please note that all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are included in the trip cost, but you will need to bring your own snacks or buy them at the store once in Norway. We will make a few stops to markets for food along the trip, so rest assured you will get a chance to stock up on your favorite snacks!

Yes. If there is something you don't want to participate in like rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, or surfing, that is totally fine! Of course, I would prefer that everyone enjoys the activities together as a group, but I understand if there is something you would rather skip out on. :)

We will be doing quite a few hikes in the Lofoten Islands (that's what you do there!), but most of the hikes are short, around 2-3 miles round trip. We have one longer hike planned, about 9 miles. There are some steeper sections of the trails, however as long as you have a decent fitness level, you should be totally fine. Also, we will be taking it slow, to take in the views and snap photos along the trail!

For the other activities, such as surfing, kayaking or climbing (which isn't technical), it is not overly strenuous and you will have help from guides should you need it. You can also opt out of any activities if you choose.

If you need to cancel after the 30 day refund policy, I will do what I can to fill your spot, however it is not guaranteed nor my responsibility to do so. If I am able to fill your spot, you will get your money back, but if I am unable to sell it, unfortunately you will lose your money.
