Northern Lights Chase

On a cold winter night, when it is slightly cloudy and the air feels mystical, the dancing green lady appears in the beautiful night skies of Lofoten. The islands are an ideal destination to chase the aurora, thanks to the vast open fields, sandy beaches, and endless alpine range. Watch this celestial phenomenon with Lofoten Lights in their northern lights chase tour, a trip that guarantees an unforgettable experience.

Their professional guides are well-versed about all those parts of the archipelago where there is a higher probability of viewing the aurora borealis. With this experience and knowledge, you can rest assured of catching the lights during this 3-hour chase. The aim is to find an ideal viewing spot, and the guides are ready to take you far and across the cluster of islands for this.

The trip begins at around 9:00 pm when the crew will pick you up from your accommodation in Svolvær. You will travel in a comfortable minivan with other participants in search of the beautiful aurora. To ensure a better chance of catching a glimpse of it, your guide will take you to open lands and higher elevations where civilisation is minimum to avoid interference.

On this chase, you will pass through frozen lakes and picturesque landscapes, but don’t get carried away yet, because the real magic will begin in the sky soon. As you pass the silent forests and make your way through the quaint fishing villages, it will be time for the skies to start giving out greenish-blue signals. That’s when you know the magic is going to begin, and at this moment, the team will park the minivan, and you will prepare to capture the marvellous scene.

With the night’s pitch-black darkness and a pinch of luck, you will have a remarkable experience when the sky gets lit with the Lofoten northern lights. The professional photographer will ensure this moment is captured well, while your guide will make sure you have a private experience with your loved ones. Watch as the captivating light show creates multiple hues across the night sky, and behold this scene as it won’t last long! After a successful chase, you will be dropped back to your accommodation.
