It’s important to be prepared for weather changes - it can change fast here in the Arctic! Ensure you are warm enough and bring a waterproof layer and wear good, comfortable shoes. Be sure to bring your camera and any accessories you want to use with it - we will put you in front of some of the most epic views in Lofoten! Bring water and a snack to keep you going.

Each tour has instructions for the pick-up time and location. Be sure to keep an eye on the e-mail address and phone number you provided us when you booked in case of any changes. We can collect you at your hotel in Svolvær or from the Tourist Information Office - just let us know which one. If you’re not staying in Svolvær we‘ll meet you at Svinøya Rorbuer.

Yes. Our Lofoten Wildlife Safari is specifically designed for guests who would like the best possible chance of seeing wildlife in its natural environment. While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, our experienced local guides know the areas where animals are most often found and adjust the route based on recent sightings and conditions. Depending on the season and luck, you may encounter moose, white-tailed eagles, otters, foxes, seals, a variety of birdlife, and occasionally even whales from shore. Every safari is different, which is part of what makes it such a rewarding experience.

For photographers, we can also arrange private wildlife-focused tours tailored to your interests and experience level.

The aurora is something we see almost every night here in Lofoten because we’re perfectly positioned in the Auroral Oval, meaning we can see every strength of the aurora from north to south. The weather is a factor but our guides have an intimate knowledge of the weather systems and patterns in Lofoten so you are in good hands. Aside from the weather, it’s al down to solar activity and our geomagnetic field, but as we approach Solar Maximum (2024-2025) the activity levels are generally high.
