Summer Holidays in Norway, Sweden and Iceland


Escape the crowds and discover the serene beauty of the Nordic summer
Escape the crowds and discover the serene beauty of the Nordic summer with Off The Map Travel. Tailored for explorers who crave quietcations rather than crowded tourist hotspots, our bespoke summer holidays in Norway, Sweden, and Iceland showcase breathtaking landscapes, peaceful coastal retreats, majestic fjords and long white beaches in mild, comfortable temperatures that never feel too hot. Whether you dream of deep fjord valleys, tranquil islands, Arctic wilderness or sweeping sandy shores, the Nordics are a destination where nature reigns supreme.


Norway in Summer: Fjords, Mountains and Coastal Quiet
In Norway, summer is a celebration of the natural world. Explore the dramatic fjord landscapes of western Norway, where towering cliffs rise from deep blue waters and quiet fishing villages rest at the water’s edge. The Lofoten Islands offer spectacular coastal scenery and remote beaches framed by rugged peaks, perfect for kayaking, hiking or simply watching the light shift across the horizon. From Bergen’s serene fjord vistas to Tromsø’s panoramic wilderness, every moment here feels like a breath of fresh air away from the crowds.



Sweden’s Waters and Woods: Archipelagos and Hidden Beaches
Sweden’s summer charms lie in its endless waterways and archipelagos. The Stockholm Archipelago offers a labyrinth of islands and secluded inlets ideal for slow exploration by boat, kayak or paddleboard. Inland, Swedish Lapland unfolds pristine forests, wide river valleys and peaceful hiking trails, where you can encounter reindeer herds and authentic Sami culture without the bustle of mainstream routes. Along the Baltic coast, secret sandy beaches invite quiet afternoons and stunning sunsets under the midnight sun.


Iceland: Lava, Lagoons and Vast Empty Landscapes
Iceland’s summer brings lush greenery to dramatic volcanic landscapes. Off The Map Travel’s Iceland itineraries guide you through hidden geothermal lagoons, black sand beaches and coastal cliffs where Atlantic waves crash in solitude. This is a place where nature’s forces shape every horizon, from glittering glacial rivers to quiet lava fields, offering travellers the chance to experience Iceland’s unique beauty without the crowds that frequent the main tourist circuits with the option to choose self-drive holidays or choose a private guide to show you around.


Why Choose a Nordic Quietcation?
The Nordic region’s summer temperatures remain pleasantly mild, making it an ideal escape for travellers who want to avoid heatwaves and overcrowded resorts. Instead of packing into busy beaches or popular attractions, you’ll find wide open spaces, slow-travel experiences and meaningful encounters with local cultures. Off The Map Travel specialises in personalised journeys that let you savour quiet moments and connect deeply with the landscape. Whether you wander through fjord valleys in the early morning light or stroll pristine beaches long after the day-trippers have gone, this is travel that feels restorative and rich.
Every itinerary is crafted around your interests, from bespoke wellness retreats in serene forest settings to active explorations of hidden trails and coastal escapes on remote islands. With expert insight, private guides and thoughtfully chosen accommodations, Off The Map Travel ensures your Nordic summer holiday is as effortless as it is unforgettable.

Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!
The accommodations, the activities and especially the great people – thank you very much for this fantastic organisation !!!
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.
Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
