LOFOTEN ACCOMMODATIONS - Lofoten Planet Base Camp

We spent a week in Lofoten Planet Base Camp in Sørvågen in Western Lofoten this autumn. The accommodation has a very homey and chill vibe. It’s hard to place Lofoten Planet, but we would call it a high end boutique hostel with a very attractive common living room and kitchen, but still with private, comfortable, cozy rooms, some with their own kitchenettes. The prices are also very reasonable. ...

Blåfjellkammen Lofoten 2.7K drone reel
Hi, I just did Lofoten this August and I did Bodø to Vaeroy, and then Vaeroy to Moskenes and I still got charged for both legs when I checked the tolls for my rental vehicle. Vaeroy is totally worth the trip and hike up Håen though!
How will it be to visit around 5th March ? Will we experience frequent storms during that time ?
It’s hard to say anything about the weather more than a few days in advance
Do you need a credit card? Or will debit card be fine?
This may depend on your country but both debit and credit should work. Which I at least find great since I don’t normally use a credit card, which is often required by most car rental agencies.
Amazing to see this ❤, please share some information as what camera and other accessories used for making this video ? Also please share this exact location?
Hi. Thank you. We use a Sony a7iii with a 14mm Sony lens. F1.8. The location was a beach in Senja 😊
Hi...will december be a good time
For what specifically? It depends what you like to do. December is very quiet in Lofoten and the days are short but it’s one of the most beautiful months of the year if you ask me. Of course, this assumes a little bit good weather. So your experience may vary 😄
Hello, is this hike safe in late october? Or is the entire landscape and trail covered in snow by then?
While we might get a thin layer of fresh snow during the night up in the mountains around that time it’s not going to stick. You might encounter some icy sections, though, so consider bringing lightweight microspikes just in case but most likely you will not need it, and if you do, only on short sections in the morning or on north facing trails. Happy hiking! Ivar
Thanks for this detailed guide. We are planning to visit lofoten islands in November. Will be travelling Finland and Norway covering Oslo, tromso, lofoten islands and Bergen. Do you have any tips how to travel to lofoten easily given it’s our first time there and not confident to drive during winter season.
Can I please get a link for that transport whit a boat from Bergen please
My partner and I will be there from 20/10 to 24/10 - we have planned on doing several hikes and are (obviously) hoping to see the Northern Lights. I hope the weather holds up for us.
A time stamp would be cool to learn which month looks how
Is it unlimited mileage? And also, can I drive to other countries?
No that’s the disadvantage with G. Only 200 or so km a day. Check their terms for specifics since the daily mileage changes depending on how many days you book. It should be possible to drive in neighbouring counties but double check this with their terms and also with the specific rental to be sure.
Hi sir, informative video. Can I drive from tromso to lofoten by car all the way? If yes, how long will it take?
Yes you can. It takes about 7-8 hours to drive from T to Svolvær, which is the easternmost city in Lofoten. Longer in winter.
This is so helpful, thank you for posting!!!!
Hi! Not sure if you’ll see this comment anytime soon but i need help regarding the car rental. I read on the rental t&c about cross-border/boundary rules whereby i may need to inform the car company about bringing my rental car on ferry/boats. Does it effect my insurance for the? Do i have to pay extra to the rental company or something? 😅
Hi! I have never heard about anyone needing to do this before. But if that´s their t&c, then you should probably do that. What company are you using? They may want to connect their vehicle to their ferry discount system. Would be interesting to know their reason :) Cheers, Ivar
If you take a car inside the ferry do you only pay for the car ? Because on the website i just get to add the passengers
You only pay for the car. On the Torghatten website you can add a vehicle and amount of passengers, but the passengers are for free
Hi,we...(7 people) want to travel lofoten islands from bodo in the last week of December..2024...will you pls tell me that which ferry will be convenient for us..we want to visit Reine,svolvaer ...and we want to spend 2days in lofoten islands
If you don´t want to rent a car in winter in December then you could take the Bodø - Svolvær speed boat and join a day tour to Reine with Lofoten Lights, for example. This way you can see "all of Lofoten" even in two days. Cheers, Ivar
can you please guide for part 2 ?
Thank you for requesting it. We hope to release this soon :) Cheers, Radka
Flott 🙂👍
Takk :)
How is the insurance coverage for cars rented from getaround. i am looking at renting car from it on my upcoming trip on August 2024.
Hi! I think it’s best to consult their pages about this to make sure you get the latest information.
Thank you!! :) Do you have any information about what are the rules if our dog is paralyzed? He is using a wheelchair. Is it possible to carry him in a bag? :/ Thank you :)
I think you better contact Torghatten about this. The reason you cannot have your dog in the lounge area is that they serve food there. However, they may be willing to make an exception to the rule for your dog, but better contact them directly to get it in written. good luck! 😊
GREAT Video, thank you for this valuable information! I do not have a vehicle, am using public transportation, have 8 days (late June 2024) to get from Bodo to Svolvaer via Rost-Vaeroy-Moskones. I am REALLY interested in the BEST recommended long/big/moderate-hard hikes including at Vaeroy, Reine, and between Moskenes and Svolvaer. What areas would you suggest I focus my limited days? How can I purchase your Camping Map Guide? Thank you, Mike (from Colorado, US)
Hi Mike! Thank you for watching. What´s the best hikes in Lofoten? Well, we feature about 50 of them in our Hiking and Camping maps so you should definitely check one of those out. The Camping Edition also has a few discount codes so it quickly ends up paying for itself: guidetolofoten.com/product/map-of-lofoten-best-of-edition/ If you follow us on Facebook we will inform you when our new service is made available this summer with ferry transportation from Moskenes to all the different accommodations in Western Lofoten. Thank you and see you in Lofoten this summer! Cheers, Ivar
Hello I would need a consultation because I am Also traveling to Norway - Lofoten in September
Hi. Please get in touch with us by email info@guidetolofoten.com. Thank you
❤❤❤
Flott
Takk!
Excellent video and very useful
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching
Are there fuel cars or are these mostly EV?
👍 thanks
Can I book a car 2-3 months in advance on getaround?
Hi, planning tonfirst week of October. say from the 1st-7th Oct. hows the westher like during these period?
Hard to say more than one week in advance :) Last October we had great weather. You just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best :) October can be mind-blowingly beautiful here with fresh snow and still autumn colors. Cheers, Ivar
Hi, thank you for your information. How can I get the Lofoten bus schedule in summer?
Hi. Check out entur.no for bus schedules all over Norway
Hi, do you also have a link to book the boat from Bodo to Svolvaer as well? And the time table is only until 2023 - we are traveling there this August 2024
Hi where can I book the longer ferry route unable to see on the site
Hi. Torghatten just got a new page making it easier to book. torghatten.no/en/our-routes/18-782?from=NSR:StopPlace:49735&to=NSR:StopPlace:49490&date=2024-03-23 If you have a rental car you fill in "rental" for the regnumber.
We just booked a trip to Lofoten and Tromsø from the 14th to the 22nd of January 2025, but now I see al lot of people advising against visiting in January 🙈 Did we make a mistake booking mid January?
Thanks for the useful information We want to travel from Bodo to Moskenes without a car. Is it necessary to reserve a place for passengers traveling without a car? How many seats does the ferry have for passengers?
Hi! Thank you for watching. It’s not necessary to pre book as a pedestrian. Ever. Just don’t do it. Ivar
is this in early April?
Yes :)
Just the information I was looking for, and you explained it short and to the point. Excellent content!
You didn't mention the easiest way in my opinion: renting a car in Tromso. That's what I'm doing in June
Thank you for watching! So you are flying past Lofoten to a different part of the country only to drive almost 500 km back to the place you could have flown to in the first place. That´s not easy. It's very scenic, though. Make sure you drive the route through Senja and Vesterålen. Just be mindful of the long ferry lines at the Gryllefjord ferry. You will not be alone there. Ivar
We went to Lofoten for two weeks in July 2023, and were aware the roads would be busy, but they weren't as bad as we'd expected. The weather was fabulous, with beautiful clear skies, and the roadside verges were full of wildflowers. It hadn't occurred to us that, because the sun doesn't set, the earth doesn't get a chance to cool down, so it was warm at night as well as light. The midnight sun didn't bother us, even with curtains open. And it was so warm we ran out of short-sleeved tops.
Hi can you say please which two weeks you chose as I am planning a cycling trip and of course trying to work out a good time to go, thanks in advance, Mike
Very informative video ! Going to the end of March is it still possible to find a snowy landscape? Thank you
Yes, absolutely :)
Hi can I ask if end Nov to early Dec is a good time to visit for northern lights in Tromso and Lofoten and is there plenty of snow? Or Feb is better? We are traveling fromAsia so it's a bog deal for us. Ps. Thank you for the vid it's fantastic and Im falling in love with Norway already. Any suggestion is helpful thanks 😍😊
Hi! Thanks for watching! Feb is better if you want a higher chance of snow ❄️
😂😂😂😂 why u didnt walk on the soil part
I would like to travel from Tromso to Lofoten by car, at the end of February and beginning of March, is this a good idea in your opinion?
Did u go?
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you, I am visiting from New Zealand soon and very excited to see Lofoten, your video is fantastic covered all my questions.
Thank you <3
عالی بود ❤
Hello We are reaching Bodo by flight, in march 1st week. And then taking ferry to Moskenes Stay there for 2 days And then will take bus to tromso Although I can see ferry and bus schedule for march, but is it feasible to do this route ? considering weather And is public transport smooth during this time?
Hey guys great video, it helped me a lot so thanks ! I have one question… I’m planning to take a ferry and visit the Lofoten on the beginning of February. But when I look on the website (Torghatten-Nord) It’s saying that there is no connection on the date I chose ( February 4th 2024 ) Can you help me ?
I love Norway and like your very informative videos but your percentage savings are completely wrong as they cannot exceed 100%. If a rental car costs €472 and one from Getaround costs €46 then it is 46/472 or 9.7% of the original price, thus you save 90.3% of the original price or (1-46/472 )×100. Conversely, the rental car is 472/46 = 10.3 times or (10.3-1) x100 = 930% greater than Getaround. Regards Rik.
One of the best and most informative video that I've seen so far. I am wondering which town that shows in the video in minute: 0:43? Also where is that white dome shape like building in minute 16:24?
Thank you <3 The first town is Reine and the dome is in Værøy. Easily one of the best viewpoints in all of Lofoten
The dome is some radioaktiv building
WOW! Wonderful video! Like 907 👍.Your travel vlogs make me feel like I'm right there exploring alongside you! It's a great escape from everyday life! Thank you very much!💗 And have a nice day!
