Norway · MIDNIGHT SUN
Good midnight sun tours fill up weeks ahead and the short-season ones go first. Below: the 8 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.”
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.”
Midnight sun RIB safari from Henningsvær in Norway’s Lofoten, chasing sea eagles, seals, puffins and maybe whales. 2 to 3 hours.
“Prachtige zonsondergang. Paar kopjes van zeehondjes gezien en zeearenden.”
Luxury Tromsø midnight sun cruise on the Lagoon 450: thermal suits, fish soup, and golden sky views over Arctic waters, 3 hours.
“Fantastic. 3 hours was fine and included some time for fishing”
Horse ride under the midnight sun in Lofoten, with coaching and provided gear, plus ocean views to Hovsund fish drying racks, 90 minutes.
“Hadde en super tur med guiden Liss. Hun gav nyttige tilbakemeldinger underveis og vi hadde en fin samtale. Hesten min Maja var rolig og trygg. Anbefales!”
Tromsø midnight sun evening cruise on a small luxury sailing yacht, with coffee bar, fish soup, wildlife spotting, and optional hot tub or polar plunge.
“En skøn aften-sejltur på et rigtigt søgående sejlskib med en hyggelig og inspirerende snak med kaptajnen selv.”
4-hour Midnight Sun photo tour from Svolvær in Lofoten with a pro photographer, small group, and golden light. Tripod on request.
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
