Join our 4 night winter trip in March to chase the aurora borealis by night and experience the Arctic day with our exciting daytime activities for all ages. Our base will be in Vesterålen, which is a fantastic location allowing us to spend the daytime visiting some of the most picturesque locations in the region.
As well as Aurora Chasing, this trip also includes an eagle safari, Sami culture & reindeer experience, and a sightseeing daytip around the picturesque islands of Vesterålen.
The average temperature at this time of year is -2ºC or 28ºF. At this time of the year we will normally have frequent snowfall and ice, with snow permanently settled on the ground.
Upon arrival at Harstad-Narvik (EVE) airport, you will be met by your guide and transferred to your cabin accommodation. The journey time is approximately 3 hours. Dinner is not provided on this first evening but there will be opportunities to buy food en route from the airport to your accommodation.
Those arriving on the earlier flight will be taken to a restaurant near the airport whilst we wait for guests arriving on the later flight. See the ‘How to get here’ tab above for details of the flights we recommend you arrive and depart on.
If weather and aurora conditions are good then we will plan to chase the lights tonight. There may even be an opportunity to view them whilst travelling from airport.

Today is a more relaxing day for you with only a small amount of travelling. After a leisurely morning we will drive approximately 60km (1 hour) to Hinnoya, where you will learn about Sami history and culture, enjoy a homemade hot lunch and of course meet and feed the resident reindeer.
We will return to your accommodation after lunch at the reindeer farm and then the rest of the afternoon is yours to relax.
After dinner we will again plan to go in search of the Northern Lights.
Buckle up for a scenic adventure! Embark on a 1 hour 30 min (70km) journey through the stunning Vesterålen landscapes with photo opportunities around every corner.
The journey to and from the remote fishing village of Nyksund offers plenty of opportunities for shutterbugs to capture the breathtaking landscape of this remote region. Get ready for an unforgettable trip!
Today is all about the wildlife, notably the majestic White-Tailed Sea Eagle. After a presentation about the sea eagles you will board a boat and sail out amongst the smaller islands along the coast in search of sea eagles. This excursion has never failed to deliver incredible photo opportunities and is the best way to get close to the sea eagles in their natural habitat.
Upon returning to the harbour you will enjoy a tasty hot soup lunch and then you can relax for the rest of the afternoon.
Tonight is another chance to see the Northern Lights so we will plan to go out once more.
After a relaxing morning we will travel back to Harstad-Narvik airport, arriving in time for you to meet your flight home. Journey time is approximately 3 hours.
