Small-group Northern Lights photo tour in Svolvaer with a professional photographer, warm van rides, and free photo delivery, weather permitting.
“The meeting spot by the Thon hotel is outside under a poorly lit door. Hard to find! Weather the night of the tour was windy, very cloudy and rainy. It was a miserable night to be out driving around. It even started sleeting and where we parked off the side of the road near a busy highway and water, I felt unsafe. This tour should have been canceled before it started. I give the driver kudos for safely returning us home. We saw one brief patch of northern lights before taking shelter in the van and heading back. Fortunately I got a refund.”
Chase the northern lights from Svolvær with pickup, coffee, and small-group comfort. A 3 to 5 hour hunt to find clearer sky windows.
“Awersome!!!! At first we saw the northern lights a little, the guide said: „We have to just waited for awhile! Then one hour later the Aurora was coming! My fingers were frozen because the cold but it was worth!!!!”
Water, snow, sky and the towns in between.
