My husband and I went on a trip August 2019 to the Lofoten Islands and stayed in Svolvaer. We wanted to go for a hike but obviously didn't know the trails so we thought we would book a hiking tour. We could not be happier with our experience with Hike Tjellbergtind and our local guide Katrine. She was a great guide and we didn't have to stress about knowing the trail, we just followed her around:)...Katrine was lovely company and was patient and relaxed about everything. The tour company arranges to pick you up in the center of Svolvaer so that makes it all very easy- no car necessary! We scurried up the mountain quite quickly (she is happy to go whatever pace you want) and we had lots of time to relax at the top. It still only took us about 3 hours which is the length of time I was hoping for as I'm not an expert hiker! Highly recommend this touring company, I'm sure all of their different options are great. They seem flexible to suit whatever you wish to do.

Jann is a very experienced, secure and funloving guide. It doesnt matter if you dont know anything about kayaking; its just fun and a great time well spent. Highly recommended!

I thank Kristian very much for a fantastic day kayak trip. The pace was just right, enjoying the stunning scenery, watching the sea eagles above and the fish below. It was a privilege to be in such a pristine environment. My teenage daughters and I all had a wonderful day. Kristian was also great company on the minibus journey there and back.

my son and I were the only people on this trip. Even though Lofoten Aktiv could have cancelled due to few participants we were so lucky to have our own guide. We had luckily enough, perfect weather. Sunshine and 22 degrees. Our guide followed our tempo and was both aimable, knowledgeable and gave us tips to do in the area - which were very helpful.

Hei Karin
thank for your feedback :)
We always try to make trips happen, although sometimes "things" happen.

To our luck, another of our guides could take you up to Tjellbergtind :)

On 1. of July 2019 we had a 3-day kayaking trip with Lofoten Aktiv. Communication beforehand was a bit cumbersome, but all things clicked nicely into place. I could rent the camping equipment at a good price as well. Our guide called Odd is very friendly, relaxed, funny but yet very knowledgeable about kayaking and the outdoors as well. Mixed weather, but we had a really great trip and I can wholeheartedly recommend Lofoten Aktiv as company and Odd as guide!
