Great video! Better than most travel documentaries I've seen. Straight to the point and no wasting time with selfie sticks and annoying music. Congrats!
yea for real this was fantastic
June is the best month to visit, even if the temp is 2 degrees colder on average than in July. You'll get the best midnight sun that month, since the days start getting shorter from the 21st of June. There will be less insects in June than in July, allowing you to enjoy nature even more. And you'll have peace and quiet (+ more to yourself), since most of the tourists have not arrived yet.
Thx for comment, is that what I need for my soon travel in Norway
Very Nice

How about Mid September? Any chances of seeing the northern lights .
How's the temperature like
May I ask that if I’m a tourist from Asia planning solo travel to Norway without any debit or credit cards , just cash , would I be able to find some cafe that accept cash and able to ride bus using cash ?
@@rageeth On a motorcycle or in a car? I could not find motorcycle rentals in norway for the first week of September.
I wish I could see this video long before I visited Lofoten island 2 yrs ago. So helpful for those who decide to go there.
Very Nice

Great video. Thanks for sharing
The BEST video to watch. Thank you so much.
Can you please let me know, how to plan to tour the Atlantic road in Norway?
Too good buddy. 🤘🤘
Thank you for sharing your fantastic dreaming journey
Great vid. V helpful. Thanks
At least in my XP as a southern Norwegian, June is probably the best month to visit the north. It's almost always wet anyway. In spring and early summer from melt water, in late summer and autumn from rain. The weather tends to be best in late May/June. But I would be very hard pressed to suggest a time of year to tourists where they don't run a somewhat severe risk of becoming wet. Rain jacket, a good sweater, the best footwear you can afford, some sort of a hat and optimism are the things you will need on holiday in Norway. Also money.
PS: Winter can be amazing too. It can also be absolutely horrible. Upside is clear, still weather, deep cold and northern lights swirling across the stars. Downside is clouds at ground level and a blizzard/rainstorm simultaneously in the dark while rivers of melted snow threaten to elope with you out to sea.. It rains down first and then back up again for good measure. And a little sideways and some round and round to make sure you get wet. You won't be able to see a damn thing either and might as well vacation inside your cupboard at home.
Amazing, we been there few years back with my 1 year old son now 3! Until now i am still in awe of its beauty!
We could not hike much though having a baby! We did the ferry trip from bodo and stayed in one of Rorburs in Reine!
Such beauty!
I went to the Maldives but saldy i couldn't see the beaches 😢
Lovely work Caleb. Beautifully filmed, narrated and produced. We were in Lofoten in 2019 and your video took us to many places we visited. Now we are really looking foward to returning. Did you get to Alesund? That was a special place for us too. Regards and thank you from Sydney, Australia - Dave
We did do Alesund on a different trip in 2013. Glad you enjoyed the video

Great guide, i feel Henningsvær it's worth a mention though🙂
einfach nur Schön. Danke
Thank you for sharing 🚴🚴♂️🚴♀️
Thanks for sharing
I like your video,so enjoyeble 🙋
Great information Caleb. Not sure if you mentioned or responded to any questions related to the rental cars in Norway/Tromso.
This is great
Very nice video 👍
Thank you for the information and the beautiful pictures. I'm planning to travel there in july 2023 but I'm not going to rent a car. I'm a public transport person and I found that where the rails end, Norway has decent bus services. I might not be able to get to the most remote corners but I also don't have to spend thousands on transportation alone that way. I still have to work out details such as where to stay overnight and who to visit, but I'll get to it.
Nydelig video 😊
Thanks good video!
Nice 😍👍
Settlements in Lofoten doesn't only "date back to the viking age". It's MUCH MUCH MUCH older. The viking age started 1.230 years ago (in 793), the first settlements in Lofoten were around 10.000 years ago, meaning EIGHT TIMES older.
Apart from that, great video from my region of the world - thanks :)
Au ton de la voix ,on dirait une voix d enterrement......quel enthousiasme !!
Nice video! Short and to the point. I am planning a driving & hiking trip in Norway for early July 2023. It will be from Tromsø to Starvagen, including Senja (hike Segla and Hesten) and Lofoten islands (hike Ryten & Kvalv, Bunes Beach & Helvetestind, and Munken), then fly to Ålesund (hike Saksa in Sunnmore Alps and visit Geirangerfjord), followed by the 3 iconic hikes (Trolltunga, Pulpit Rock, Kjeragbolton). Can you share the name or info of the airbnb in Hamnøy (a rorbuer? ) and other locations on Senja and Lofoten islands ? Thanks.
Very useful info! Thanks a lot!
By the way, may you provide the web for mini-Van booking? Looks like it is not easy to find 7 seaters in Denmark.
wonderfull
Hi, We will be in Lofoten, Senja and FinnMark from mid June . Your film is incredible sharp. Can you tell me how you do to post thers sharp images. I have a DJ drone Mavic, an Iphone…but I am never able to post my films so sharp as you can. Can you tell me what to do about settings and/or editing? Best regards
Thanks for the incredible inputs Caleb - Can you share more details on the Car hire ? The van cost you mentioned for 12 days is quite inexpensive compared to the other options i am seeing online. Would be great if you can share details on the rental service you used please. Cheers. Yogesh
Support 🙏
Thank you Caleb for sharing. Is this itinerary valid in late February, especially the ferries and hikes ? Thanks
Quick question - Do you think its possible to see some of southern Norway in the same trip? (Stavingar, Bergen, Geirangerfjord) or is the country just too spread out to enjoy it all in the same trip?
真的很棒 謝謝你
May I ask that if I’m a tourist from Asia planning solo travel to Norway without any debit or credit cards , just cash , would I be able to find some cafe that accept cash and able to ride bus using cash ?
Did you book your accommodations in advance or just find them on the fly? We have been told it can be very tough to find accommodations in June/July without advance booking.
at 1:52 did you just say {expect long pants temperatures? }
where is a good website to rent a mini-van, auto in Lofoten? Thanks
Please can you suggest 7 night itinerary in northern Norway? Flying from London uk
ถ่ายทำเดือนไหนคะสวยงาม
Hello! What were your travel dates for this video? early June?
I, like so mnay others, loved this video. Could you share the name of the airbnb in Hamnoy? I didn't see anything that seemed right. Thank you!

February in Tromsø is one good suggestion.
香格里拉
Een opmerking moet ik maken de doorgaande wegen zijn misshien goed maar de landelijke wegen zijn vaak van een erbarmelijke toestand,en de noren moeten zich diep schamen dat daar niets aan gedaan word,en nog maar niet te praten over de prijs van basis voedsel in de supermarkt
Stay at home then !

Svolvær has about 5000 inhabitants, not 25000!
Also, the drone shots from Svolvær are most definitely illegal, and within 5 kilometers of the airport. Please pay attention to drone regulations.
Why funeral background music..
