Description

Join this 8-day winter photography tour of the Lofoten Islands to capture the magnificent Northern Lights in epic surroundings. This is a tour for any enthusiasts of photography that wish to experience the jewel of Norway’s scenic crown.

The Lofoten Islands are a collection of jaw-dropping natural sights, jagged rock formations and fairytale-like sceneries. The islands jut out from the northern shores of Norway where they appear to drift in the open waters of the Norwegian Sea.

Despite the islands appearing as a wild and untamed cluster, they are relatively easy to travel around, since they connect by numerous road bridges and tunnels. Prepare to behold snow-capped mountain peaks, vast fjords, dramatic seascapes and idyllic villages, as you hunt down the finest sights and the most classic winter scenes.

Every night you will have the additional chance of photographing the elusive and breathtaking Northern Lights. Although the lights are​ a temperamental and natural phenomenon that can never be unquestionably guaranteed, every measure will be taken to put you in the best position for a bonafide aurora photo shoot.

Don’t hesitate in booking your photography adventure now, for a chance to behold and capture the wonderland that is Lofoten in the winter. Check availability by choosing a date.

Good to know

The tour is always dependent on weather, as the Arctic weather can indeed be highly unpredictable.When it comes to the Northern Lights, while they are most likely to be seen between September and April, there is no guarantee that they will appear on a given day. There is however always plenty to see and do if conditions do not favor any part of our original plan.
