About Us

Raised on the fjords,
built for explorers

Bookawelis began in Lillehammer in 2013 with two local guides, one sturdy boat and a simple belief: Norway should be experienced slowly, with people who actually live here. Twelve years later, we still work the same way.

Every guide is Norwegian-born, every itinerary is carbon-offset, and every group stays deliberately small. No buses, no scripts, no rushed photo stops.

1

Norwegian-born guides

People who grew up on these trails — not seasonal hires reading from a script.

2

Groups capped at ten

Small enough to stop when something beautiful appears — and it always does.

3

Carbon-offset since 2019

Every itinerary, every year. Verified through Norwegian reforestation partners.

"Our Lofoten trip was flawless. The aurora night was magical, and our guide Ingrid felt like an old friend by day three. Easily the best travel company we've used."

"The Gudbrandsdalen cruise and Flåm railway combo was spectacular. Everything was perfectly organised, and the small group size made it feel personal rather than touristy."
