The perfect tour for Aurora lovers. This is a very dynamic excursion perfect for those who want to “chase” the Northern Lights. This 5-hour evening tour offers the experience of a narrative guide and professional photographer, and when the aurora will appear he’ll be able to capture the magic on camera. With the help of your guide, a professional photographer, you will also learn how to set up your camera and tripod (tripods available; let your guide know in advance) to capture the Northern Lights and take some unforgettable photos against a backdrop of the windswept bays, glassy lagoons, and looming peaks of the remote Lofoten archipelago. All the pictures taken by us, will be sent the day after without any additional cost

Inclusions: Professional photographer

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Gratuities

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.

Fun evening with Sveinung afew weeks ago... he is a great guy, and knows amazing places in Lofoten Islands to get the best pics of Northern Lights... I would clearly never have found these places by myself. He also showed me a few camera tricks I did not know about the Northern Lights, which require unique settings to get the best possible picture... Sveinung also has great stories and a good perspective on life. The pics turned out great... We started at 9 PM, and we went going past midnight... We went through several spots, the last one being a beach with the green lights flickering over our heads... A bucket list experience! I typically never do group / organized tours, but this one was completely worth it. I would do it again any time...
