Northern lights experience

Experience the Northern Lights with a knowledgeable guide. We will serve hot drinks and local snacks during the tour. Our guides have competence in photography and advise is available for those who want to “catch” Aurora.

Join us in the hunt for the fantastic phenomenon of nature – the Northern Lights. The scientific name on the Northern Lights is «Aurora Borealis». Aurora was the Goddess of the dawn, and Boreal means «northern».

Vesterålen is located under the Northern Lights oval, and is therefore perfectly placed for Aurora Borealis experiences. From Melbu and Stokmarknes we will bring guests into grand sceneries with our own guides.

“The Northern Lights are fireworks – unbelievable even for the most spirited mind. No colour and no brush is able to paint it, and no word is able to describe it’s greatness.”

– Carl Weyprecht, Austrian polar explorer

The Northern Lights season is between September and April. Every day Aurora is dancing, we are ready to take our guests out.
