Red fishermen's cabins below jagged peaks in Reine on a Lofoten photography tour from India

Why Safari Sutra?

Most Lofoten trips from India squeeze the islands into two or three days; we give you seven nights in rorbu cabins split between the north and south, so you're never more than a short drive from the next shot. Flying in and out of Leknes, in the middle of the islands, saves hours of driving, and the route guide is built around light, not opening hours.
