Midnight sun tour

Enjoy the beautiful scenery and the Midnight Sun on the same tour. At 01 am. the sun is at its lowest, and on our scenic tour on the Hadsel island, you will see both the sunset and sunrise in half an hour.

You can see the Midnight Sun in Vesterålen between the 22nd. of May and the 21st. of July. On days with clear sky, we know where to drive if you want to experience the Midnight Sun. We take you from the starting point to an area on the Northern side of the Hadsel island. The guide will “spice” the tour with interesting stories and facts about the area and the fauna.

On the camp, we will experience the Midnight Sun. This is an event where you have to use more senses than the eye. Listen to the quietness, smell the fresh air and feel the special atmosphere. This is an experience to remember the rest of your life.

You don’t want to leave, but after seeing the sunrise, we will return to the pick-up point.

“The sun is never setting in my countries”

– Karl V, Spanish King and German Emperor, (1500 – 1558)
