We are excited to announce a completely unique collaboration with our former guests and now close friends, Ida and Barbara from NORDBAEK! Together, we have created an exclusive journey to the spectacular Lofoten in Norway, where winter bathing and wellness go hand in hand. The trip is designed for anyone dreaming of combining nature experiences with relaxation and immersion.

A trip in our spirit of community and adventure

After our successful trip to Lofoten in March 2024, where we created memories and community, we have chosen to collaborate with Ida and Barbara to offer a new opportunity to experience Lofoten and Northern Norway. Our journey to Lofoten features some of the most stunning natural scenery that Norway has to offer. Imagine bathing in crystal-clear waters, relaxing in Arctic saunas, and enjoying the tranquility of the magnificent nature – all while pampering both body and soul.

A gift of wellness

As part of this exclusive journey, all participants will receive a NORDBAEK goodie bag before departure. This goodie bag includes a personalized windproof bathrobe or jumpsuit, bath slippers, and a luxurious hamam towel – all with a total value of 2,647 DKK. Everything is carefully selected to ensure you have the ultimate wellness experience in the breathtaking surroundings of Lofoten.

Get closer to nature

This adventure is a unique opportunity to get up close to nature and take a break from the stresses of everyday life. In the company of like-minded winter bathing enthusiasts, you'll have the chance to share experiences, forge new friendships, and find tranquility in the beautiful landscape.

It’s only been a few days since we said goodbye and see you soon to the vanlife community in Lofoten, Northern Norway. Everyone was tired but filled with experiences and adventures that we won't soon forget. One of the participants wrote the following:

"In North Away's email signature, it says 'adventure creators,' and that's exactly what the two owners and founders of North Away do – they create adventures."

On our group trip to Lofoten, we hiked to the tops of majestic mountains, enjoyed warm sauna sessions, and witnessed orcas, moose, and majestic sea eagles. We've eaten simple but delicious food, had conversations with the locals, and, most importantly, lived the authentic vanlife.

The community that has been created across the group is something we are most proud of. Despite our differences, our shared love for travel and adventure has laid a solid foundation for new friendships and unforgettable experiences. It has been a pleasure to be part of.

At North Away, we create the best setting for unique experiences in Northern Norway. Once again, we’ve seen how travel experiences can make communities flourish. We are dedicated to designing group trips where adventure and community are at the heart of everything.

Thank you for your curiosity, your courage for adventure, and, most importantly, the great sense of community. We look forward to many more unforgettable experiences together.

Summer in Lofoten always kicks off with something special, and this year it was Trine who embarked on the first solo trip of the season. Her adventure began in a van, which became her home on wheels for five days, but Trine's thirst for adventure didn’t stop there.

Extended Stay

After the planned five days, Trine wasn’t ready to leave the enchanting landscapes of Lofoten. She decided to extend her trip by three extra nights. This was arranged in close collaboration with one of our local partners, who ensure that our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of.

About her experience with us, Trine shares the following thoughts:

"I usually always travel alone, but this time I had great company with Willy, the van I traveled with. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to Willy until I arrived at a lovely fishing pier full of local life. North Away planned a perfect route with just the right amount of hikes and time to relax in the van in the evenings. Driving through Lofoten’s landscape gives you a very special feeling, and you feel so small in the most wonderful way. Despite having traveled to many countries, Lofoten is a must-see, and I will definitely return. Overall, the trip has been absolutely amazing, and I’ve been able to immerse myself in the most spectacular nature."

Looking forward to a summer with more guests

We expect to welcome over 100 travelers here in Lofoten throughout the summer. Both we and our local partners look forward to greeting each of you and ensuring that, like Trine, you have experiences that will be remembered for a long time.

Lofoten is waiting for you – are you ready for your own adventure?

Just as Lofoten’s winter offers the magical polar night, where the sun remains hidden below the horizon, the summer here brings another fascinating natural phenomenon. For around six weeks, the sun never dips below the horizon and lights up the night. To experience the beauty of the midnight sun, it’s ideal to plan your visit between late May and mid-July.

The Midnight Sun Period in Lofoten: The Midnight Sun typically graces Lofoten’s skies from late May to mid-July, with the sun remaining visible around the clock. Expect the Midnight Sun to begin around May 25-28 and last until approximately July 14-17.

Experiences Under the Midnight Sun: Lofoten offers a range of unique activities under the glow of the Midnight Sun, including:

• Hiking Under the midnight sun: Explore Lofoten's mountains in the endless daylight.
• Kayaking: We work with several operators who can assist you.
• Surfing or SUP: Once again, we can enhance your trip with fantastic opportunities on the water.
• Riding: Hov Gård on Gimsøy offers horseback riding on Icelandic horses, a unique way to enjoy the Midnight Sun.
• Golf: Play golf in the endless daylight at Lofoten's unique golf course, where the game never has to end due to darkness.
• Various boat tours: We have local agreements with various boat operators, so don't hesitate to reach out.
• Diving: When the nightlife emerges from the ocean floor, and you can still keep up with it.
• etc.

The Effect of the midnight Sun on sleep: The constant light of the Midnight Sun can reduce the body's production of the sleep hormone melatonin, making it more difficult to sleep. However, visitors should not experience significant issues, and the unique light patterns provide a rare opportunity to enjoy Lofoten's natural beauty at all times of the day.

At North Away, we are committed not only to showing you the beauty of Lofoten but also to providing you with a travel experience that is as unique and authentic as the destination itself. It’s not just a trip; it’s an adventure, a journey, a community.

The journey to Lofoten's breathtaking landscapes has become even easier and more affordable! As your preferred travel agency, we are always looking for ways to enhance your travel experiences, and today we have some exciting news to share with you.

Lofoten, known for its indescribable beauty and unique nature, has long been a dream destination for many. Until now, however, the journey has been associated with two primary challenges: it has either been (1) somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming or (2) relatively expensive. Unfortunately, this has posed a barrier for some of our customers.

Big news: Prices are dropping!

We are excited to announce that starting in April 2024, it will become significantly cheaper to fly directly to Lofoten from Bodø. This is the result of a decision by the Norwegian government to make it easier and more accessible for both locals and tourists to visit this unique part of Norway. At the same time, one of the ferry crossings will be free for those who choose to travel without a car, further easing access to the archipelago.

Improved flight times

But it doesn't stop there. Flight departures to Bodø from Oslo have also been revised to arrive earlier in the day. This change is a huge advantage for those wishing to continue their journey to Lofoten by boat, providing more flexibility and time to enjoy the crossing.

Come and experience Lofoten this summer!

With these changes, there will soon be no excuse not to visit Lofoten. Whether you are looking for breathtaking natural experiences, a photographic quest for the perfect shot under the midnight sun, or simply want to relax in world-class surroundings, Lofoten is the place for you.

We at North Away are here to ensure that your journey is as seamless as possible. Let us help you arrange the adventure of a lifetime in Lofoten.

Don't wait too long – it's time to plan your summer vacation now and secure your stay in one of the world's most spectacular and now more accessible destinations. Contact us today for more information and let's make your dream a reality together.
