8 days in Arctic Norway: glass cabins, northern lights, and Sami culture in Lofoten, then swim with wild orcas in Skjervøy. This expedition combines the dramatic landscapes of the Lofoten Islands with the raw thrill of orca encounters. November 2026. Max 8 guests.
Activities
Day 1–2: Magical Lofoten Islands
Arrive in Lofoten, settle into your glass cabin overlooking the fjords. Explore the islands—fishing villages, mountains, and Arctic beaches. Evening northern lights hunt.
Day 3: Sami Culture & Reindeer
Visit a Sami camp to learn about indigenous Arctic culture. Meet reindeer herders, hear traditional joik singing, and understand life above the Arctic Circle.
Day 4: Transfer to Skjervøy
Morning hike to Lofoten's iconic Reinebringen viewpoint. Afternoon transfer to Skjervøy, your base for orca swimming. Settle in and prep gear.
Day 5–6: Orca Waters
Two full days swimming with orcas. We track herring schools and the orcas that follow. Witness carousel feeding, hear underwater echolocation, and float alongside apex predators.
Day 7: Final Orca Day
Last chance on the water. We maximize time searching for orcas and humpback whales. Evening group dinner sharing stories from the week.

Seeing orcas in the wild in the Lofoten fjords is already hard to put into words. But what stayed with me just as much was the atmosphere!!! The guides knew exactly what they were doing, the group was brilliant, and every evening back at base felt like a proper gathering. Special trip
