The algorithm steered your video to me and I’m glad it did! You did a great job sharing all the sights and good places to visit. It has really helped me to plan an upcoming trip to Norway. Thank you!
Hi can you suggest some good b&b to stay in lofoten to see the northern lights and also cab/taxi agencies. I’m visiting in november and that wil be helpful. Thanks.
a PERFECT video with all the right and practical information that answers almost ALL my questions for planning my upcoming trip to Lofoten. Beautifully narrated with stunning videography. Thank you very much !
This is such a great video, this is exactly what I wanted to see, a real trip showing all the distances, travel time and costs too, brilliant idea and so helpful for our future planning of a similar trip 👏👏👏

@@brianbrooking496 Tromsø is not Lofoten. Tromsø is a city with infrastructure, Lofoten is not. Tourist piss and shit in peoples backyards because Lofoten is not made for tourism.
This has to be the best video I've found about the Lofoten Islands. I'm visiting Norway next month and have 5 days on Lofoten, your video was helped with my planning.
You did a wonderful job with this video. Plenty of useful information. I appreciated the running cost in the corner. I have saved many of your locations. Thanks for all the museums. I enjoyed listening to you. Boston..
@@travelsbyanubhav Yeah, it was so crazy good! Also, I don't know if you connected to their WiFi from afar, but the Thon Hotel Wifi was so strong that my wife and I could connect to it by the Kiwi grocery store around the corner. I never expected WiFi to be so good. We were really trying to be as frugal as possible and didn't have much cell data. haha
This is a beautiful video, I love the aerial shots and you tell your story so calmly Would you be able to share your airbnb in Henningsvær (day 3). Its looks so beautiful
Hey, you guys have beautifully captured the mesmerising views and made it quite informative. Kudos to both of you. I just wanted to ask what month of the year; you travelled there?
Absolutely wonderful video. So glad I found this one. Norway has always been on our bucket list. One Q - which Airbnb did you stay at in Henningsvaer? Looks stunning.
Thanks a ton. Can you also let me know the car company you used for rental and whether it was an electric or gas vehicle? We are planning a trip to Northern Norway this September and your information would be super helpful. Thanks.
Amazing breakdown of informarion, loving the sequence of your trip, and seems lucky full of sunshine i really feel like curious what time of year was it
Thank you for this great inspirational video! :) I noticed you had quite a great weather for most of your trip AND also got to see the northern lights! What time of the year did you go?
That’s exciting! We were there in mid-April, March will likely have more snow, but also more chances of catching the northern lights. Let us know how your trip goes ☺️
Such a beautiful vlog and great shots. Have saved the video and map. You guys have taken amazing drone shots too. Is it mandatory to have 3rd party liability insurance in Norway. Had you taken one, which would you like to recommend ?
Very informative video ! Thanking for sharing. Could you tell me the dates you are visiting and what drone you are using to capture such great images and videos ?
Excellent video!! I was about to ask you what month you traveled during but then I saw it was April from your travel ticket (that's a huge bummer to get that at the end of your trip). I'm trying to decide between spending most time in Tromso vs Lofoten in March (about 8 days total for Norway). I want to see the Northern Lights; Tromso is supposed to be better for seeing it with more tour operators/options though I know it is possible to see it in Lofoten too.. Do you think it's possible to do some highlights of Lofoten in 3-4 days, round trip from Tromso airport? I know it'd be a lot of driving but I don't know when else I'll come back to Lofoten in the winter (I definitely want to come back in late summer).
Thanks for the comment Rahoul! You will have better opportunitiy of seeing northern lights in Tromso. But northern lights are also elusive so being flexible works best. If I was in your shoes, I would try and book things with free cancelation. That way if you are able to see northern lights in the first few days, you can extend your time in lofoten. I am assuming you are not covering Senja. It's think you will be able to cover lofoten in 4 days if you just do the highlights. It's easier said than done because the place is so beautiful and the days will be short. Make sure to account for the travel time back, it's a long drive back to Tromso and can eat up a day. During our trip, the peak aurora activity was a few days after our return 🥲 but we did manage to see milder aurora. Best of luck with your planning.
@@travelsbyanubhav Anubhav, thank you so much for taking the time to reply!! Planning has been quite a process, but so far I have 4 nights in Lofoten: 1 night Senja, 1 night near Svolaeur, and 2 nights near Hamnoy (near Reine). The 2nd day (Senja to central Lofoten) will be long: 7 hours of driving (not including stopping for the sights). and I've accounted for the long 8 hour drive from south Lofoten to Tromso on the last day. If you had 4 nights between Senja/Lofoten and had to choose just one place to spend 2 nights, which would you choose? I thought choosing south Lofoten was reasonable, though I'd be interested to hear what you have to stay after visiting. I'm visiting in mid-March so I don't plan on any long hikes. Mostly just want to sight see beautiful landscapes, fly our drone, etc. Also, that is a fantastic idea about booking a cancellable place in Tromso. I think I will end up doing that.
Amazing video! So helpful ! My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Tromso from 27th March to 3rd of April and we are thinking of spending 3 days in Senja as well ! The only thing we are worried about is driving, but from what I saw in this video the roads seem very well kept?
Hi Mira, thanks for the comment. The roads were clear during the time we visited and we did not face any issues. Senja being slightly remote had comparatively more snow on the road than other areas but not enough to cause issues. I would still highly recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle in case there is fresh snowfall.
Hi ,the video is very informative and usefull..kudos and thanks. I need one help regarding drones. I was exploring but didnt find much info on no fly zones is there any information avaible online? And what all documents required to fly...i will be carrying mavic mini 3 pro
We actually used Hertz. The airport in Tromso was really small and each rental company literally has just 1 desk space. It took us an hour in line to get the car because there was just 1 person. But no issues with the car or anything.
This is such a great video, so informative,Can you tell If you have used EV car, was there any charging point on the road trails u covered in the video
@@travelsbyanubhav thanks for the info, one more thing if we have four wheeler driving license of india, do we any additional international permit to drive from tromso to senja to lofoten?
Hi . Such a beautiful and detailed video. One of the best on internet. Kindly tell me if we will be able to drive with indian licence and borrow a car from tromso or international permit is needed !
Wow it’s gorgeous. I love your video. I just came back a few days ago from Tromsø, we went to see the northern lights and they didn’t disappoint. Can you please tell me which month have you been there ? It still looks pretty snowy. Thank yku .
Thanks for the video, we are planning a RV trip from Rovaneimi to Lofoten from 27th Apr to 10 May, and we are wondering if we should add Tromoso to our itinerary or not? Worried about roads and unexpected weather? What temperature to expect?
We were in Tromso on April 17 and we did encounter snowfall. But it did not lead to any travel issues. By May, the snow would be clearing up so I think it's totally doable. Low-key envious of your RV trip! Sounds fun, hope you have a great time.
Hi Amazing informative video, I with my wife planning to travel in February end to Oslo, Bergen, Lofoten, Tromso and Svalbard from Bangalore . May be 12-14 days . We are vegetarians. Can you please suggest us the itinerary? Thank you in advance 👍😊
Hi Anand, great to hear you found the video useful. We did not cover southern Norway on this trip, so cannot give you suggestions for Bergen. Neither did we do Svalbard. For northern Norway (Tromso and Lofoten) the itinerary we share should provide insights. There is a nice restaurant in Henningsvaear, which has a lovely vegan burger if you’re looking for vegetarian food options. Rest well have covered in the video. Hope you have a lovely trip :) Be sure to let us know once you’re back !
We didn’t take any ferries for the locations we visited. If you’re going in the summer you could do ferries for more islands that are accessible by ferry.
Great video!, congrats and thank you for all the info! What do you think of doing the same in late april beg of May? Seems not the best period of the year to go...
Hi very informative video. If you can suggest some good b&b to stay in lofoten to see the northern lights and also cab/taxi agencies as I need to hire car to take us to Tromso. I’m visiting in november and that wil be helpful. Thanks.
Fantastic video, well done! Did you have to book all your staying in advance? Also was your trip in April? Thank you and can wait for your next video! ☺️
Thank you so much for such an informative video, I understand you went mid April yet you could see the Northern lights , we are planing to go next year to see the northern lights, so do you recommend we go mid March or Mid April, because we also want to drive from Tromso to lofoten or visa versa
Beautiful video with optimum details. I am planning a trip in April, main aim is aurora sightings. Was it easy to see many nights of northern lights? Looks like the roads are not snowy, which is good. Thank you.
We had low KP index throughout when we visited in April. There was going to be a very powerful aurora right after our trip. You have to be at the right location. The beaches in Leknes are a great spot so would highly recommend visiting Uttakleiv beach even if the KP index is low.
Hi, thanks for sharing this video. Did it rain much in April? how was driving during this time? Was also planning to go there on April month but not sure if we can drive as we are not used in winter driving.
Hi there, we did not have any issue driving. The roads were clear throughout our drive. Would still suggest renting an all wheel drive. We were there mid april and we were worried that we might loose the snow. Lofoten starts losing snow because of the proximity to the ocean, there was more snow towards Tromso and Senja (more north) but nothing that an all-wheel drive compact SUV couldn't handle. As for rain, we were blessed with sunny weather throughout our stay except for our last day in Tromso. I would suggest keeping a buffer day in case it rains if you have that kind of flexibility. Things might be closed on weekend (in Reine and Å) so make sure you check websites for spring schedule. Hope you have a great time. It's a beautiful place.
Hi! Thank you for the most wonderful video ever! Would you recommend driving from Tromso to Lofoten for 6D5N? We will be there 21-27 April. It will be our first time. We're so overwhelmed with options and struggling to plan the itinerary, looking to narrow down the best option possible. Would appreciate your advice! Thank you so much.
I think 6D 5N is doable. It will be a bit rushed but you can reduce touchpoints. One option is to remove Senja from our itinerary to reduce days. Another could be reducing time in Central Lofoten, and South Lofoten to be 1 day. South Lofoten is doable in 1 day, the towns are small. Best of luck.
We went in April. Lofoten was very manageable and we didn't have any snow on the road. There was very little snow in Senja on the road. To be on the safe side, i would suggest getting a 4 wheel drive.
Very helpful video. We are planning our trip and we are thinking about taking the same route. May you please tell me the total cost of tolls for this route?
Hi Sumedha, we don't have a seperate toll cost. Rental cars will have an autopass tag which pays toll automatically. Any payments made will be included in the final receipt you get after car return. Check the links below for more info www.autopass.no/ www.hertz.com.kw/rentacar/reservation/reviewmodifycancel/templates/rentalTerms.jsp?KEYWORD=ROADTAX&EOAG=OSL
@travelsbyanubhav I have watched your video over 10 times😅. Very informative. Which drone did you fly? Do you have to register the drone to fly in norway?
@@travelsbyanubhavCool. We are going in March Last week. Could you also please tell from where did you take the rental car. As there are many options ..
@@travelsbyanubhav Thanks for the information. We are planning to go in the first week of December. Any suggestions or idea ? My main aim is to see auroras but it looks like it will be dark at that moment of the year. So, it would be tough to drive as apart from darkness, lots of ice would be on the roads
Very nice Vlog!! Really informative . Could you please let me know the date/month of your tour. Roads seems to be pretty clear. I’m also planning to rent a car but wondering about the road condition . Thank you !!!
Depends on what you’re looking to do. Feb won’t be great for hiking, but it might be good for northern lights viewing. Also roads will quite likely be snowy/icy, so make sure you’re comfortable driving in those conditions.
We have a four wheeler driving license of india,If we need to drive a rental car in norway, do we need any international permit for that? If we go from tromso to senja then lofoten..

That made our day, thank you for sharing 🥲
But please don't go there. Lofoten is about to get ruined because of tourism.

We had low KP index throughout when we visited in April. There was going to be a very powerful aurora right after our trip. You have to be at the right location. The beaches in Leknes are a great spot so would highly recommend visiting Uttakleiv beach even if the KP index is low.
@@travelsbyanubhavthank you very much for your, all the best to your future trips
Thanks for sharing this video. When did you visit this amazing country?
Hi there, we visited in April.
@@travelsbyanubhav thanks for your reply 😊
Hi, thanks for sharing this video. Did it rain much in April? how was driving during this time? Was also planning to go there on April month but not sure if we can drive as we are not used in winter driving.
Hi there, we did not have any issue driving. The roads were clear throughout our drive. Would still suggest renting an all wheel drive. We were there mid april and we were worried that we might loose the snow. Lofoten starts losing snow because of the proximity to the ocean, there was more snow towards Tromso and Senja (more north) but nothing that an all-wheel drive compact SUV couldn't handle.
As for rain, we were blessed with sunny weather throughout our stay except for our last day in Tromso. I would suggest keeping a buffer day in case it rains if you have that kind of flexibility. Things might be closed on weekend (in Reine and Å) so make sure you check websites for spring schedule.
Hope you have a great time. It's a beautiful place.
thanks you! @@travelsbyanubhav
Hi! Thank you for the most wonderful video ever! Would you recommend driving from Tromso to Lofoten for 6D5N? We will be there 21-27 April. It will be our first time. We're so overwhelmed with options and struggling to plan the itinerary, looking to narrow down the best option possible. Would appreciate your advice! Thank you so much.
I think 6D 5N is doable. It will be a bit rushed but you can reduce touchpoints. One option is to remove Senja from our itinerary to reduce days. Another could be reducing time in Central Lofoten, and South Lofoten to be 1 day. South Lofoten is doable in 1 day, the towns are small. Best of luck.
Excellent information and video! What were your dates of travel?
We visited in mid-April (10-20 I believe)
Thanks for the beautiful video! Where did you rent a car from? The prices I find online seem to be much higher
Hey, we booked with Hertz if I remember correctly. We used company discounts and their rate was the lowest at that time.
@@travelsbyanubhavhow was your experience with Hertz? Recommended? They have like 2.5 stars in google reviews and I’m scared they will not do good.
Rare collection, great efforts. Which month is it?
Thank you. This was april.
At what time of the year did you go? Which month? Thanks, awesome video!
Thank you. We went there in April.
This is a wonderful watch. Which month and year you visited? I am planning a trip so this info will help me in budgeting.
Hi, we visited in April of last year. Hope that helps :)
Thanks for sharing. What month did you go? As it is ok to drive.
We went in April. Lofoten was very manageable and we didn't have any snow on the road. There was very little snow in Senja on the road. To be on the safe side, i would suggest getting a 4 wheel drive.
Very helpful video. We are planning our trip and we are thinking about taking the same route. May you please tell me the total cost of tolls for this route?
Hi Sumedha, we don't have a seperate toll cost. Rental cars will have an autopass tag which pays toll automatically. Any payments made will be included in the final receipt you get after car return. Check the links below for more info

Okay. Thanks a lot for the information. May you tell me the approx value that you had to pay for tolls?
I found this video on Lofoten very close to what we usually enjoy. Which time of the year did you visit this island ?
Hi Pooja, we visited mid april.

Hi Pushpa, we travelled in april.
Could you please share the name of the airbnb in Henningsvaer?
@travelsbyanubhav I have watched your video over 10 times😅. Very informative. Which drone did you fly? Do you have to register the drone to fly in norway?
Hi. Nice and detailed video. What time of the year was your visit?
Thank you! We visited in mid-April.
@@travelsbyanubhavCool. We are going in March Last week. Could you also please tell from where did you take the rental car. As there are many options ..
Hi, can I check which time of the year did u visited? Was it December?
Hi, no we visited in April
Lovely video. What was your date and month of travel?
Thank you! We traveled in mid-April, 10-20 if I remember correctly.
Wonderful video. On what dates you visited there. It looks like a perfect time to go
Hi, we were there in mid April. We got quite lucky with the weather, but spring weather can be unpredictable.
@@travelsbyanubhav Thanks for the information. We are planning to go in the first week of December. Any suggestions or idea ? My main aim is to see auroras but it looks like it will be dark at that moment of the year. So, it would be tough to drive as apart from darkness, lots of ice would be on the roads
Very nice Vlog!! Really informative .
Could you please let me know the date/month of your tour. Roads seems to be pretty clear. I’m also planning to rent a car but wondering about the road condition .
Thank you !!!
Hi, we visited mid April last year. Roads were pretty much clear of snow in Lofoten, but not in Senja. Hope you have a great trip 🙂
@@travelsbyanubhav thanks Anubhav !!!
This was beautiful! What time of year was this?
Thanks you! We were there in April.
hi, may i know which month did you went on this amazing trip?
Hi, thank you! We were there in mid April :)
whats the cost of eating out during this trip?
Hi.. loved the video . Will it be easy for indians to drive in norway ? Keeping in mind the right hand driving .
Thanks Neha. Driving on opposite side can take some getting used to. It helps that the drive is to areas with less density.
Hi! what were your travelling dates?
Hi, we traveled in mid-April :)
@@travelsbyanubhav Did you get to experience northern lights? and were you able to do hikes in reine?
Nice video!
In which month did u travel?
I am planning to travel in feb 2025 . Will there be snow ?
We traveled in mid-April, which is the beginning of Spring. Feb is still Winter, I would expect there to be much more snow at that time.
@@travelsbyanubhavso is worth to drive in feb . I will be travelling solo.
And what about parking ?
Depends on what you’re looking to do. Feb won’t be great for hiking, but it might be good for northern lights viewing. Also roads will quite likely be snowy/icy, so make sure you’re comfortable driving in those conditions.
May I know which month of the year you visited Lofoten ?
Hi yeah we visited in April :)
We have a four wheeler driving license of india,If we need to drive a rental car in norway, do we need any international permit for that? If we go from tromso to senja then lofoten..
nice go ahead......
