What to do and see in Northern Norway, Northern Norway: The Best Multi-day Tours

April 13, 2022 Florencio Paulino

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.

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!

This tour was so lovely! Govind was very friendly, knowledgable and great at looking after people in the cold outdoors. The lights came out to play, and it had been very cloudy weather so we were very lucky! He took some great professional pictures of the lights with us and sends them to us the next day. We had plenty of hot chocolate, biscuits and sausages which we cooked ourselves on an open fire. We did have to travel to Finland to get to the lights, but for me that added to the experience of being in a rural area and also shows that Govind really wanted to find the best spot for us. Recommend highly to book with Green Fox.

Unfortunately, after a sunny day, the clouds came before departure. So no sunset. We did get the choice to get our money back, or get a trip around Tromsø. Everyone chose the last option. For me it was worth it. Amazing on this boat with speed and "playing" with the waves. Watching eagles and heron in "daylight" at night. The guide was really nice and knew a lot.

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.
