We reached Svolvær on a very bad weather , it was raining and cloudy weather in December and I had booked 2 day photography tour with Lofoten Lights. My wife and I were worried on missing out on places in Lofoten as we had only 2 days with us. Next day we got picked up by Eric for our tour,he is a very warm and very friendly guide.He started out our tour by taking to a mirror art installed next to the mountain landscape it was very good, in 2 days he covered all the places which are listed in tour ,he is extremely knowledgeable ,he gave us so many facts,he is an amazing photographer and each and every framing of shots is very good.Even though it was a bad weather he made sure that we waited for getting good light and then he helped us taking many memories in form of photos . We will definitely come back in summer and book a photography tour with Lofoten lights for Eric our guide. He is very professional and an awesome tour guide.

This is a lovingly thought out, well organised and sustainable tour on a beautifully designed and well-equipped hybrid boat to give value without outstaying its welcome. We were admittedly exceptionally lucky with the weather, but as the tour passes through stunning scenery even before entering the spectacular Trollfjord and the crew are friendly and the commentary is engaging and witty, I am sure that a magical experience could be had even on a cloudy day.
