Great crew and amazing experience! Definitely want to recommend these guys. A lot of fun, with local knowledge 🙂 we also did the RIB-trip. Go2lofoten offer helmets for the ride,... read more would not do the trip without because of the wind.
juli 21, 2020we had an amazing fishing expedition today at MS Hestøy ! we were a party of 20 people, adults and children (age 2-14). The service and knowlegde from the crew... read more was impeccable and the hole experience is one of the most memorable expeditions we have had in Lofoten. We all got fish,that certainly topped the tour and we all learned how to gut fish. The boat has a lot of history with much space. Thank's a lot to the crew at Go2Lofoten! We highly reccomend others in Lofoten to use Go2lofoten for a fish expedition or rib safari.
juli 19, 2022This was an amaising trip and the skipper made it brilliant with all of his knowledge. Higly rekomended, and very mutch fun. Got to see a lot of... read more Eagles as well, so the trip was complete.
august 1, 2020Very 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... 😉

RIB Boat ride on its own is already quite a lot of fun. Like a ride at an amusement park. Of course the main attraction sea eagles are there also... read more and you get to see them very close.
The guide also knew the area well and told also about the history of the area and also about the myths considering the area. Trollfjord was also a nice place to visit and we lucky during the trip and also saw some whales for quite close.
All in all best activity on our trip.
juli 23, 2022We recommend this company! It is smart to start your stay in Lofoten with a fishing trip. Captain Johannes has a lot of knowledge about Svolvær and Lofoten. Here you... read more can get good advice on nice mountain hikes and more. We caught a lot of fish on the trip, captain Johannes knows where the fish are! Incredibly good service!

Great experience, they take their time to look for eagles and to explain everything. They make sure not to disturb the birds whilst still getting close.
It is a local... read more family busisness and this you feel!
juli 25, 2022We almost backed out due to rainy, gray weather, but were very glad we didn't! They outfitted us with warm, waterproof suits, clean hats and gloves, and helmets with... read more visors, and the ride was awesome. We saw quite a few eagles soaring close by and diving for the fish tossed by the guides, but the highlight for me was bouncing across the waves at 50kts with the rain pelting the visor, giggling all the way. They threw in a few hard turns just for fun, which made the ride that much more entertaining. Along the way, our guide - who was very friendly - shared some history and interesting facts about the areas we passed. The seats were surprisingly comfortable, and it felt safe the entire time. The kids had fun too, though they were a little chilly by the end. Overall, definitely worth doing if you're in the area!
juli 28, 2022Great fishing experience with a very capable guide (Johannes), that told local tales and gave us good advice on how to catch fish. Will recommand the firm and the guide... read more especially!
juli 21, 2021We were lucky to be recommended this company by our hotel, and had a really nice trip with our captain Johannes. As it turns out, when the weather is bad... read more other places in Lofoten, Svolvær has calmer wins due to its location. We were able to go out on a private trip despite bad weather in Henningsvær where we stayed, and caught a lot of fish. Not only did Johannes take us out on short notice, but he also gutted our fish for us and froze them so we could bring them with us the next day. Very service oriented and a great storyteller!
