Well organised. Our Tourguide Kari was very helpfull and kompetent. We defintely recommend this tour. One star less due to the "rendeer safari", which was just a little round (10 minutes) on a lake. Everything else was really great!

The winter tours in Lofoten Islands really shine when it comes to Northern Lights experiences. Our 5-day Polar Nights tour combines reindeer safaris with aurora viewing from Sommarøy's beaches - the guides know exactly where to avoid light pollution for the clearest views. Dog sledding near Tromsø adds a different dimension, with hot soup served at the kennel camp to warm up after the ride. The Arctic Experience takes you through the northernmost polar park where you'll spot lynx, wolves and other Arctic predators, plus you'll meet local Sami communities. For those who prefer staying cozy, the Northern Lights cruises let you watch from heated lounges while sailing through Arctic fjords. The Boreal Sensations tour puts you in fisherman's cabins overlooking the sea, and includes 4-hour guided aurora sessions from Camp Nikka.

The Lofoten spring tours blend Arctic experiences with more daylight hours and authentic cultural immersion. Our signature reindeer safaris let travelers dive into Sami traditions, practice lasso techniques, and discover traditional joik songs. Starting from Tromsø, many tours combine city discoveries with trips to the northernmost polar park, where lynx and wolves roam in their natural habitat. Our guides excel at adapting Northern Lights viewings based on conditions, balancing outdoor pursuits with visits to cultural sites like the Polar Museum. Travelers especially appreciate stays in fishing villages, and many tours include special aurora camps set away from artificial light. Spring whale watching in the fjords draws excellent feedback from our customers, with diverse species making regular appearances. What makes these tours special is the balance of guided experiences and independent exploration in places like Sommarøy, where cozy hotel saunas await after outdoor explorations.

What cultural experiences can you join in the Lofoten Islands?
You'll love experiencing authentic Sami culture at the reindeer farms near Sortland it's really special. You can go on a reindeer safari learn traditional lasso throwing and listen to beautiful Lappish joik songs while enjoying a hot meal. Our travelers on the Polar Nights tour absolutely loved it you'll be paired up on sleds one reindeer per sled. The lasso throwing is really interesting actually it's how the Sami people catch their reindeer when they need to tag them or gather the herd.
Where can you find natural areas to explore and how do you get there?
Head to Ånderdalen National Park on Senja Island you can reach it via the E6 highway and ferries. You'll discover these amazing 500-year-old trees waterfalls and peaceful lakes and if you're lucky you might spot otters moose or red foxes. For something really dramatic make your way to Magerøya Island where you'll find the North Cape Europe's northernmost point. Getting there is part of the adventure take the coastal roads or hop on a ferry to explore this raw beautiful landscape with its impressive bird cliffs.
