We had been corresponding with the delightful Eleanora at Lofoten Lights for about 12 months prior to our tour. We had requested a 14 seater minivan and it was there when we arrived at the dock. Laura de Mauro was our excellent guide and Stale Gjerstad was our very careful and most obliging driver.
Our tour left from the cruise ship wharf at Leknes and several stops were made on the islands of Vestvagoy, Flakstadoya and Moskenespoya, all connected by either bridge or tunnel, on our way south to the end-of-the-road town of Å (pronounced “oh”), which is mainly a fishing museum.
“Oh!!” was indeed our reaction to the wonderful and unique scenery. One highlight of the tour was the views from the town of Reine – mountains and buildings with a perfect reflection.
We stopped off for a late lunch at the incomparable Anita’s Seafood (not included in the tour price).
Not on the tour but at our driver’s insistence to show us something extra we popped in to his home town, the fishing village of Ballstad, to savour Norway’s brown cheese delicacy (own cost), and then on the way back to the port we detoured to view the wooden Buksnes Kirke, built in 1905.
Cost of the tour for us was 1250 NOK each, plus an unsolicited and voluntary tip to both guide and driver, which they thoroughly deserved. We would definitely use this company again for another tour in the magical Lofoten Islands.

We were told the number of participants would be 35. There were over 60 people on this bus. Not happy with the large number and having to wait at each stop for everyone.

Beautiful drive through the different islands and villages in this area. Each photo we took was better than the last. Definitely make this tour top on your list while visiting Norway!

Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. There were several stops to take photos and a stop to grab a bite or enjoy your packed lunch. We were lucky to have a sunny day. It was a great tour for people with mobility issues as there was minimal walking required. Highly recommend!

I exchanged messages about 1 month prior, advising I was a solo traveller. The day before the tour I went to confirm time and meeting point with tour operator to be told the tour was cruise customers only and I could have not joined. 1. Why would you advertise a cruise only customers on this app? 2. Why would you not read communication in time and properly? So, overall I found the tour operator very unprofessional and disorganised, resulting in me missing out on a tour and unable to book anything else due to short notice.

We enjoyed the tour a lot!
Although tendering with Costa turned out to be bit of a chaos and we lost some time waiting for other participants of the tour, we've seen more places and had more time than the participants who booked one of the Costa tours.
The tour guide was very nice, giving interesting information during the tour. The contact prior to the tour was fast and friendly, too. We can recommend booking them :-)

Great way to see a beautiful Northern part of Norway. Pickup and drop off at ship. Natural sights can't be given justice with words. Photos ops galore.
