Scandinavia · NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS IN LOFOTEN
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 northern lights tours in Lofoten worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
From Svolvær, join an English-speaking Aurora expert and photographer such as Dave, Christian, or Magdalena for a four-hour minivan chase. You may visit several clear-sky locations, learn night photography and Aurora science, enjoy hot drinks, and receive digital photos within 48 hours.
“Our guides were very kind, very helpful and professionals about northern lights. We had a great experience. Definitely recommend the tour.”
Meet your guide at Svolvær Tourist Information and spend four hours chasing the aurora around Vågan in a climate-controlled van. Guides such as Jann combine aurora science, Lofoten stories, patient cloud watching, and hands-on photo help. Bring warm layers, a camera, and a tripod.
“Jann is a great guide, knowledgeable and with a dry sense of humour. We ended up in just the right place for the clouds to break and then slowly the Lights came out before a sudden explosion across the sky over the mountains behind us. Perseverance and patience paid off!”
Join Lofoten-born guide Odd-Petter Tanke Jensen for a 4.5-hour Northern Lights hunt from Svolvær or Kabelvåg. He reads cloud movement, drives to promising spots on Moskenesøya, helps with camera settings, and supplies a tripod, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
“You would not miss this tour! Peter is really the best! He has passion, knowledge, and experiences. The weather was not best condition it was heavy rain and snow and strong winds and so cloudy, but Peter read the weather and the movement of the clouds, and managed to find even three places where we could saw the beautiful Northern lights. I think we were the only group to see the lights successfully. He said northern light is his wife and talked to the sky on our tour and it was so enjoyable. He was nice and friendly. I really enjoyed the tour. If I had chance to come here…”
Join Lofoten Lights from Svolvaer for a private evening hunt for the Aurora Borealis. Your English-speaking guide and photographer, including guides such as Andrea and Eric, searches for clear viewing spots, helps you use a camera and tripod, and sends the tour photos the next day.
“We had a great time. The guide, Andrea, took good care of us.”
Join an English-speaking guide and professional photographer for four hours across Lofoten’s dark winter roads. The route changes with the weather, and you’ll learn to photograph the aurora with a camera or phone. Pickup is from Svinøya Rorbuer or Thon Hotel Lofoten.
“Excellent; professional, and fun. Great hot chocolate, and nature did its thing!”
Pick a coastline, a capital or an Arctic night.
