Trip Start

On this trip you will need to travel to Bodø, Norway to meet the group by 3:30 pm on Day 1 of the trip. Bodø Station is at Sjøgata 57, 8006 Bodø Municipality and is about 2 miles from the Bodø airport, with easy access via taxis.

If possible, we recommend arriving in Norway a day early, as it will help your recovery from jetlag and provide a buffer for possible flight delays or cancellations.

Trip End

Our trip concludes after we arrive back into Bodø Station. We will arrive at approximately 3:30 pm on the final day.

Flights to and from Bodø are the guest’s responsibility. Multiple airlines operate flights into Oslo, Norway from many U.S. and European international airports. From Oslo, you can easily fly into Bodø.

Your safety is our top priority. Our hiking tours are led by professional hiking guides, all of whom are wilderness-certified first responders or EMT’s, each with years of guiding and wilderness experience. Guides adhere to standardized risk management protocols in case of any potential or actual incident, and all tours carry an emergency communication device and comprehensive first-aid kit. Additionally we have a “24/7” system through which guides or guests can reach Wildland support personnel at any time.

In the interest of your safety, it’s important to refer to the Center for Disease Control website for up-to-date recommendations on immunizations before your trip.

Our approach to international travel is to combine the best of two worlds: the dialed-in details, professionalism and consistency Wildland trips are known for; and the cultural immersion and intimate regional knowledge that only locals can provide. To excel with this approach, we vet and hire the best local guides, welcome them into the Wildland family and train them to meet our standard of excellence with every aspect of a trip. But along with managing logistics and safety, your guides will teach you about the area’s history and culture, and provide a level of familiarity and intimate detail only locals can.

Field evacuation, repatriation, and medical insurance is required on this trip as a condition of partnership terms with our European vendors (field evacuation and repatriation minimum coverage is a combined $200,000 USD). We designed our terms and conditions with trip insurance in mind. When you register for a trip, your spot is no longer available to other guests. Therefore, if you discover that you are unable to travel, no refund is available past a certain point. With trip insurance, your payment to Wildland may be covered, but also your flights, hotels and other travel costs can also be insured.

Lofoten is a stunning place that receives quite a bit of rain. Weather can change very quickly, with rain or wind moving over the ocean and hitting the coastline. Some days we have sunny skies and excellent weather, but the hiking is consistently wet and muddy. Guests need to be prepared for sunshine, rain and wind on this Lofoten tour.
