Wildlife safari under the midnight sun - Vesterålen Tours
Experience wildlife at night. Summer north of the Arctic Circle means midnight sun and 24 hours of daylight. Animals and birds are more active and easier to find.
Experience animals and birds up close
There is something magical about experiencing wildlife in the summer, especially at night.
The eagle scouting the ocean from rocks at the coastline, the owls keeping an overview from the treetops or scan the landscape for food. Otters and seals sunbathing on the rocks.
It just has to be experienced!
On these trips we try to find as many animal species as possible, stopping for some sun and landscape photos if desired. We can also look for specific species if you wish.
Suit everyone
All our tours are private, which means that you/your group/family get the guide(s) for yourselves, which means that we can focus on exactly what you want to see and do.
We will help you with camera settings if you need it, all our guides are photographers and will bring their own cameras. You will be sent the photos the guide takes after the trip.
These tours suit everyone. We try to sneak close if desired, whether you want to sit and enjoy the animals from the car or go out for a closer look is up to you.
