Activity description

Take in the majesty of the Northern Lights in one of the best places in the world to view them, Vesterålen, Norway! Since this district is geographically situated just below the Northern Lights oval, this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon is more frequent and highly visible, especially from mid-August to mid-April.

During this 3-5-hour tour, you'll join a local and experienced guide for a breathtaking adventure into the wilderness! Not only are your guides knowledgeable about the area, but they are also experts in reading weather and cloud coverage, following weather forecasts and maps days in advance.

In addition, the guide will take photos and videos of your group and the skyline, which they will send after the tour. They can also assist with any questions you may have regarding camera settings or night-time photo techniques, as each guide has extensive photography experience. Over the course of several hours, you'll relish in the stunning mountainous surroundings while learning more about the Northern Lights. 

This tour will leave you amazed by the vivid colours and patterns of the Northern Lights! Don't miss out and make memories that will last a lifetime!
