In the evening, enjoy a 6-course Chef’s Menu at Restaurant Solitary, where seasonal, high-quality ingredients are carefully prepared to celebrate the flavors of the region.
Day 4: Lofoten to Bergen by flight

Check out from the resort and take your onward transfer from Kuru Resort. Leave with memories of a rejuvenating Finnish nature holiday, from quiet lakes and peaceful villas to wildlife encounters and lakeside relaxation.
