Fabio – ItalyAugust 30, 2024 – Verified booking
Unfortunately we only did part of the tour, arriving at the departure of the second ferry in Gryllefjord, and then having to go back because in the presentation of the tour it was not clearly specified that to get to Svolvær 2 days were needed, one for the outward journey (with an overnight stay in Svolvær) and one for the return which is what we paid for but which we could not complete because the next day we had the return flight to Italy. We are very sorry because the missing part (in addition to having wasted money) was the one in the Lofoten Islands, the most beautiful part that interested us the most; so be careful, do not make our mistake because it takes 2 days and finding an overnight stay in Svolvær. For the rest, excellent organization and tour that we recommend because it allows you to see countless beautiful naturalistic fjords (driver very helpful but no guide) greetings

GetYourGuide traveler – GermanyAugust 17, 2024 – Verified booking
Convenient way of transportation between Tromsø and Lofoten if you don’t have a car. The bus is traveling via Senja and Vesteralen and the route includes 3 ferries, which made the 13-hour trip enjoyable as the route is one of the most scenic ones (if not the most) I have ever seen. There were also some photo stops along the way. Be aware this is not a guided tour. It mainly aims at getting you from A to B with some stops at important sights. The buses were clean and comfortable. I would expect more pro-active information from drivers regarding the length of stays at stops and how to continue the journey after Senja as the bus doesn’t enter the second ferry and you must change to a different bus in Andenes. Overall, it was a good experience.
