Wonderful Lofoten - The Most Beautiful Excursion Destinations

The sea eagle is characterised by its well-groomed brownish plumage and its flight behaviour. When soaring, the short but powerful neck is stretched forwards and the wings are carried athletically in a horizontal position. This is how the birds soar over the dark blue waters of the Trollfjord - a place where they feel particularly at home. On a Sea Eagle Safari from XXLofoten or Go2Lofoten, you can observe them in their natural habitat, see how they hover and then snatch a fish from the water as they fly past. With a wingspan of over two metres, it is easy to spot them from the boat in the air.

The region around the 543 metre high Ryten is considered one of the most beautiful for hikers in the Lofoten National Park. The reason for this is not only the calming, even sound of hiking boots on wooden plank paths, but also the view from the 543 metre high summit into the valley. It is directed towards the golden yellow beach of Kvalvika Bay. Take a seat on the "miniature Trolltunga" (Troll's Tongue), let your feet dangle casually in the air and let your gaze wander with the waves that break one after the other, foaming white on the beach.

Admittedly, you wouldn't necessarily expect to find white sandy beaches in Caribbean style on the ever-chilly North Sea. So it's all the more surprising that several beaches around the Lofoten Islands are so beautiful that they look like they've been painted. Among the absolute favourites are "Uttakleiv strand" and "Hauklandstrand" on the island of Vestvågøy: fantastic powdery sand and turquoise water. Whether it's a morning stroll, an afternoon break with a beach mat and a Scandinavian thriller or a night by the campfire - it's great here at any time of day.
