Our Location in Norway
Welcome to one of the best places to see the Northern Lights!
Join one of our Northern Lights holidays in one of the most beautiful parts of Norway. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Arctic landscapes, snow-topped mountains, acres of trees and stunning fjords and lakes.
Deep inside the Arctic Circle – south of the increasingly busy and light polluted Tromsø – we operate in and around two main locations in the unspoilt fjords of Vesterålen and Lofoten. This location gives us a distinct advantage in being able to access many different locations and scenery in a short amount of time. This is a big bonus for Aurora Chasers; being able to access the coast as well as inland locations gives us the upper hand against constantly changing weather conditions.
Included in our Northern Lights holidays are visits to locations in and around the areas of The Lofoten Islands, Andenes, Sortland, Melbu, Storkmarknes, Harstad, Lødingen, Kvaefjord, Nyksund and Bø.
As part of our Northern Lights holidays packages we include daytime trips to many of these locations to experience activities such as an eagle safari, Sami cultural experiences, meeting and feeding reindeer, husky dog sledding, whale watching and snowmobiling.
Weather in Vesterålen and Lofoten
The weather in our local area can be very changeable and most visitors are surprised that it is not a lot colder. We benefit from the tail end of the Gulf Stream here so the temperature is much milder than the equivalent latitude in other parts of the world.
For further information please visit Norway’s most popular weather website YR.no which is a joint online service provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.place to see the Northern Lights. So, join us and increase your chances of experiencing this stunning natural phenomenon.
