In the morning, begin a panoramic tour of Lofoten with your tour leader. The first stop is the Lofotr Viking Museum, where a guided tour will take you back in time to the era of the first skilled craftsmen who settled in Lofoten. You can even try rowing a Viking ship!

Archaeological findings show that stockfish, made primarily from dried skrei (the Atlantic cod that migrates to Lofoten each winter), was first traded by the Vikings over 1,000 years ago. Today, it remains one of the region’s most important exports.
