Go2Lofoten – Activities based on local knowledge and traditions.
-
We were a family of eight persons (five from Hamburg, Germany; two from Bretagne, France, and one from Trondheim, Norway) who had booked a fishing trip (four hours) with Go2Lofoten... read more during the Lofoten fisheries.
It turned out to be an unforgettable and spectacular event. Not only did we catch enough fish for the rest of our stay in Lofoten - five days (most "små-sei" (small saithe/ pollock) but also a couple of "Skrei" "pregnant cod !" of "reasonable" size , but we also learned from the skipper how to bleed, gutt, and fillet the fish.
Finally, we also got the opportunity to see the professional fishermen "in action" (NB In Norway, women are now also professionals!), setting their nets etc. And we were lucky to observe a sea eagle! The weather was unusually cold, but blue sky, quiet sea and with the suites provided by Go2Lofoten we were warm....
mars 24, 2023This was supposed to be the highlight of my 5 days in Lofoten as I am an extreme fishing enthusiast! But the trip was a BIG disappointment! Their “advertisement” said... read more that they would offer all the equipment I would need, so I didn’t bring my own fishing rod. This turned out to be a big mistake cause they only had 7 rod’s for the 7 people on board, and I ended up with the one that was destroyed. For tourists who have never fished before, I guess it might be okay, but for someone who knows, this was a disaster! If I could I would have just left the boat! I feel tricked and wish I had spent my evening and money on something else! If you love fishing as much as me, I recommend you to chose a more professional company!

juli 1, 2021That was the best experience I had in Lofoten!!! Strongly recommend going to sea safari eagles trip. This boat is very fast and smoothly go through the water. Take warm... read more clothes even if there’s quite warm outside. It’s very windy! But seeing eagles and all the beautiful landscapes is priceless! Awesome experience and people running this business are very very nice and friendly!

Fun trip in fast and agile RIB’s, going through narrow straits in high speed. Spotted eagles and lot of good stories and information!
juli 27, 2021Very good experience!! We were two families of 7 total (adults + teenagers) travelling together at the end of July 2020. The booked 3-hour fishing tour ended up being... read more a 4+ hours tour as our guide let us fish longer and drove us closer to the dolphins we spotted on our return trip and also gave us some extra time out fishing / feeding leftovers to seagulls due to the superb weather that day. Our guide was informative, helpful, calm and friendly. He taught us how to fish, select depth & why, care for the fish, the laws for fishing, to slay the fish, spoke warmly about protecting the species (not over-fishing, but only fish what you will actually eat.) And he was a bit if a tourist guide too enroute. We would surely recommend him (and presumably his brothers too. We met one of them as we docked, he seemed like a friendly fellow too) We got a cup of hot coffee or blackcurrant enroute. But do bring some food and maybe a pack of wet wipes for the trip. We brought freshly baked cinnamon rolls & shared with the others. Much appreciated after some hours on board... and the wet wipes are ... let's just say that fish smells and it's much nicer to eat if your hands don't smell like fish... 😉 …

We did the fishing experience in the morning (2 adults and 2 kids) and we really recommend it!
Everything has been perfect: well organized, involving, spectacular!
We all catched fish,... read more during the trip to the fishing spot the staff entertained us with very interesting stories about Svolvaer and surrounding and, most important, during the way back we learned how to filleting the fish we got: amazing!
Finally, great value for money compared with Luther tours in the area.
Enjoy GO2Lofoten!
