Top 10 Tours in Northern Norway, Northern Norway

December 28, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

Great day with Karin ! She got us in touch with a dog sledding and helped us organizing transportation there, and then made everything easier for us to go and see the aurora. We were very lucky and had a great evening where we got to see a lot of northern lights from her cute little cabin ! Great organisation, good dinner and great company! Of course it's always tricky with the aurora, but would 100% recommend !

Markus was an excellent guide on our private Northern Lights tour. We left Tromsø in the pouring rain and somehow he managed to find the lights. We had a wonderful show in two different locations and a bonfire with hot food, hot drinks and marshmallows. He took some fantastic photos which were shared with us the next morning. Overall, we had a really special night; without Markus I doubt we would have seen anything. I would highly recommend him as a guide - he is both friendly and extremely well informed.

We saw the lights beginning of Feb 2020, and due to very bad weather conditions around Tromso, we ended up crossing the Finnish border. Bart was a great guide and did his best to make the tour unforgettable. The spot he picked was fantastic (frozen lake!) and we were lucky enough to see a mesmerising Aurora display that night. We also had some delicious soup and hot chocolate by the camp fire to warm up. Couldn't be happier!

We are visiting the fantastic Trollfjord: The Trollfjord is one of the most visited nature attractions in Lofoten. The fjord is a sidearm the Raftsund east in Lofoten. The fjord is 2 km long, and only 100 meters wide at the most narrow. The steep mountains surrounding the fjord are between 600 and 1100 metres high. The fjord has also played an important part in our fisheries. The battle of the Trollfjord in 1890 is immortalized through Johan Bojer`s novel, «The Last Viking», and one of painter Gunnar Berg`s (1863-1893) main works. The painting of The battle of the Trollfjord can be viewed in Svinøya Rorbuer`s Gunnar Berg Gallery.

This tour we took 6 hours after doing the Northern Lights in Tromsø. My two adult children and I had a great time, and saw a lot of amazing landscapes. The guide was helpful, and also took pictures of us as a group and also sent us some pictures of the trip.
