Norway · MIDNIGHT SUN
Good midnight sun tours fill up weeks ahead and the short-season ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Paddle the open ocean near Eggum during the midnight sun in Lofoten, with expert guides, wildlife spotting, and hot drinks on a small island.
“Had a great time with fantastic guides, Santi was an awesome instructor, unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but this did not impact the experience overall - would highly recommend!”
Midnight Sun Kayak in Eggum, Lofoten: paddle a double kayak after 10pm, watch seabirds and the midnight sun, with tea and snacks.
“We were blessed with the absolute best conditions for this trip. Our wonderful guide, Israel, took great pictures of our group kayaking and shared them with us once we beached. A truly fabulous experience! We also had a great hamburger and fish & chips at the little Eggum takeaway container at the end of the road, by the WWII radar ruins.”
Midnight sun hike from Tromsø with Wandering Owl, small-group fjord views, hot drinks, lunch, and flexible weather planning.
“Ellie, our guide, made our hike a phenomenal experience. The setting and location were fabulous to see the fjord, Mountains and ocean against the midnight sun. Would highly w this tour!”
Kayak Sommarøy in 24-hour daylight, land on white sandy beaches, and look for seals, eagles, otters, and more on a guided tour from Tromsø.
“The tour is too expensive for a 3hr kayak ride around the island with a break with some biscuits and tea in the middle. The guide was not talkative and would probably have not said a lot about the surrounding nature if we did not ask.”
