The programme

In the Lofoten islands, the sea and fish are life: an inflatable boat trip on the Buksnesfjord is the perfect way to observe this reality up close, where the combination of man and nature is ancient and perfect.
A few tips on how to navigate safely and off you go at full speed, with the breeze of the Arctic wind on your skin and an expert captain who will tell you one story after another about these amazing places.
When you get to the village of Mortsund, your captain will point out one of the main fish processing factories of a region that has the ocean in its DNA.
Meanwhile, Ure is famous for its skilled fishermen, on land... and in the sky. Keep an eye out for seabirds and golden eagles, who choose these places to nest due to the abundance of fish!
From the water you'll also see Ballstad, a small village famous for its 'rorbuer', the characteristic red houses where fishermen used to live, and for a well-known factory that produces cod-liver oil.
Take a closer look: on the facade of the factory is the largest mural in Europe. Guess what it's inspired by?
