  • Flights aren’t included in your trip, but we’ve listed some options that align with the group transfer to make planning easier.

    These aren’t official recommendations — just helpful examples. You can book any flight that fits the schedule, but transfers run on time and can’t be delayed, even if your flight is listed.

    We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers delays, cancellations, and missed connections.

  • Think of the transfer like a train: it runs on time and can’t be delayed. 

    You are welcome to get any flight that arrives in time to make the transfer. However, to make planning easier, we’ve listed some flight times that align with the group transfer. These are not official recommendations though, just helpful examples. 

    Please note, if your flight is late or cancelled, you’ll need to make your own way to the start location, but we’ll support you with local transport information on the day.

    We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers delays, cancellations, and missed connections.

  • Yes — a group transfer is included on both the arrival and departure days. This is a shared transfer, running at fixed times to and from a designated location (usually an airport or train station).

    There is one transfer each way, and your flight must match the timing. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to make your own arrangements.

    18 Jul - 23 Jul

    • Pick-up Point: Evenes Airport at 19:10

    • Drop-off Point: Evenes Airport at 13:05

    3 Sep - 8 Sep

    • Pick-up Point: Evenes Airport at  17:40

    • Drop-off Point: Evenes Airport at 15:15

    The group transfer is included in your trip package. There is no discount if you choose not to use it.

  • The journey takes approximately 2 hrs 45 mins.

  • Missed transfers are rare, but we want to be upfront so you can plan with confidence.

    If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you’ll need to arrange your own transport to meet the group. We’ll support you as best we can — your host will be your main contact on the day and can help coordinate locally. You can also contact our bookings team, available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm UK time, though replies may be delayed outside of these hours.

    Even if you booked a flight from our Suggested Flights, group transfers run on schedule and cannot wait for late arrivals.

    In some locations, arranging a private transfer is straightforward — but in more remote areas, it can be limited and expensive. That’s why comprehensive travel insurance is essential, not only for delays and cancellations, but also in case you need to cancel your trip before departure.

    Make sure your insurance covers travel delays and missed connections — it could save you a significant amount if things don’t go to plan.

  • It is possible to organise a private transfer. This will cost 7000kr (approx. £500)

    There is also a public bus from the airport. This runs twice a day in September and costs approx. 500-600kr (£38 - £45). Find out more here.

  • You should buy comprehensive travel insurance as soon as you book your trip — not just before you travel. This ensures you’re covered in case you need to cancel before departure, as well as for any unexpected issues while you’re away.

    Your policy should include cover for:

    • Travel delays and missed connections

    • Trip cancellation

    • Medical emergencies and evacuation

    • Baggage and equipment loss

    • All activities included in your itinerary

    Travel insurance is a requirement for joining any Gutsy Girls trip, and it’s your responsibility to check that your policy includes the kind of adventure you've signed up for — especially outdoor or sporting activities.

Activities

  • This trip is aimed at beginners, so no previous experience with kayaking, paddleboarding or hiking is needed. However, to get the most out of your adventure, you will need a baseline of good fitness to ensure you’ve got the energy and drive to tackle each daily activity.

    You do need to be able to ride a bike to take part in the cycling day.

  • Boosting your cardiovascular fitness is a brilliant way to build up endurance and stamina. A brisk walk where you’re just a little out of breath does the trick nicely—or, if you fancy upping the ante, try running, cycling, or any other high-intensity activity that gets your heart pumping.

    Lifting weights is also a great way to strengthen your body and increase your fitness. However if it’s your first time please take it steady!

  • This trip is rated moderate.

    It’s suitable for beginners, however to get the most out of your adventure, you will need a baseline of good fitness to ensure you’ve got the energy and drive to tackle each daily activity.

Gear & Packing

  • We will supply a life jacket.

    We recommend wearing sportswear and thin layers over your swimwear, as well as a thin water/windproof jacket.

    You may get wet so it’s advisable to bring a second set of clothing with you.

  • Yes! You can find a detailed packing list here.

  • Absolutely, you’ll want to bring a daypack with plenty of room for any extra layers, drinks and snacks. A backpack around 10-20 litres should do the trick.

    When on the water you may also want to bring a dry bag to keep your items safe and dry. Small dry bags are also useful in your day bag to keep important items dry.

  • We normally paddle in swimwear or sportswear. Remember a hat/cap and a long sleeved top or rash vest that covers you in the midday heat!

    If the conditions are cooler, we recommend a long john or shorty wetsuit, though this is completely optional! 

    Bring a rain coat just in case.

    Check out the packing list.

Other

  • You can read the weather forecast here.

    September sees the start of autumn in Lofoten. After a summer of midnight sun, days become shorter and the air temperature drops. Be prepared for rain and storms, but days can also be cool and crisp.

  • No need to stuff your wallet with cash — credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere. That said, it’s handy to carry a small amount of local currency for those occasional personal expenses.

  • There’s no upper age limit for our adventures—our Gutsy Girls community welcomes women from 18 to 70+! We never ask your age, only that you’re ready for a bit of adventure and a lot of fun.

    Most of our guests are between 24 and 60, with around 60% in their 30s and 40s. But once we’re out there—cycling over hills, hiking to breathtaking peaks, or paddling through remote waters—age truly becomes irrelevant. It’s all about sharing incredible experiences, laughing together, and building friendships that span generations.

  • Absolutely! We’d love for you to join us solo!

    Over 95% of our guests come on their own, and we’re all about helping you connect with like-minded adventurers. It’s a warm, welcoming vibe—come as you are, we can’t wait to meet you and make some amazing memories together!

  • At Gutsy Girls, our top priority is working with guides and instructors who embody our values—passionate, experienced, and dedicated to building women’s confidence in the outdoors. While we aim to have female guides wherever possible, the reality is there are fewer women in the industry, so occasionally, we work with male instructors.

    We carefully select those who are patient, friendly, and highly skilled, always keeping track of the feedback from our guests. We’re excited to see the number of female instructors grow as more women take to adventure sports!

  • If the weather doesn’t play ball, we’ll adjust the plan accordingly. Safety is always our top priority, and we’ve got plenty of indoor or alternative activities lined up, just in case. You’re in safe hands!

  • You can find the full itinerary on the trip webpage here. Just a heads-up, though, our itineraries aren’t set in stone. Our guides are experts at making the most of the weather each day, so they may adjust things to ensure we get the best out of the conditions. Please be flexible – they work hard to balance adventure with safety, so we can all have a fantastic time!
