The westernmost of the Scandinavian countries, Norway is wild, rugged and beautiful - a kind of European Canada - and perfect for adventures in the great outdoors. So Norway summer holidays mean hiking and kayaking in the magnificent Lofoten islands, an awe-inspiring archipelago stretched out into the Atlantic. Or you can spend your days exploring the staggeringly beautiful fjords region, where the changing light of the midnight sun turns the glassy water glorious colours. Summer is ideal, too, for gentle walks in little fishing ports between brightly painted wooden houses and the sea. And don’t miss Oslo - the vibrant capital - with its stunning architecture, dynamic culture, and relaxed welcoming vibe.

Seeing the Norwegian fjords are at the top of many travellers' wish lists for the Norway summer holidays, and for good reason. Take a road trip up the coast and soak up the truly spectacular views and explore remote villages and islands such as the Lofoten Islands that very few ever get to experience. Along the way, jump in a kayak with a guide and paddle your way through the fjords, looking up at towering mountains and clear blue skies, and stop into small coastal villages with traditional red fishing huts.

Whether you want to take it slow and enjoy a leisurely train journey to the fjords before exploring pristine nature on foot, or are an active adventurer who wants to hike and kayak your way around, our team of experts know this Scandi heaven inside and out and are on hand to help your create a bespoke Norway summer holiday to suit you.
