How do we work?
With us, you can realize your Arctic adventure in two different ways. You can pick an activity from our online booking system. Here you book an experience of a given duration and a plan at a fixed price. This is the easiest way to do it. Within all these products, we are of course flexible in terms of adapting the content to the customer's wishes. With us it is not possible to book tickets for different numbers of passengers. The price is fixed, wether your group consists of two or six persons (max).
​
In addition, of course, we do what we like best: create customized itinerarys in collaboration with our customers. Here we combine our local knowledge, our network and our resources to create a program in line with the customer's wishes. We like challenges! We can also assist in programs in collaboration with other actors in Lofoten. Send us a mail, and we will do our best to fulfill your wishes!

Flexibility
For guests that choose to spend several days with us in Lofoten one of the most important things we bring to the table is flexibility. The weather in Lofoten tends to be both dynamic and unpredictable. That is an important factor when planning a visit here.
With our car, our boat and local network, knowledge and understanding, we are set up to support a variety of activities. When we are hosting guests in Lofoten, we have no other commitments. We serve only one group at a time. That means that we are able to continuesly adapt the plan to the conditions. Together with our guests we make sure that boating is done on the best weather day for boating and so on. There is always something adventurous to do and our flexible approach ensures maximum output from your time spent in Lofoten.​

Isqueen
Fishing and whaling has been important for centuries in Lofoten. It has also been a big part of Frode's family history on his father's side in Lofoten. His grandfather and uncle has both been captain on Isqueen. Our boat today carries the same name and actually also the exact letters from the first Isqueen from 1954. That is a legacy we are very proud to carry on today. For our guests that happen to be interested in that part of Lofoten history you can get a unique insight in our family legacy. This is a possibility to add layers for deeper understanding and insight in the local history.
