Escorted tours Norway

On our escorted tours of Norway, you get to see the best of Norway, accompanied by an English-speaking guide who knows the country inside out. You’ll learn about Sámi culture, the local wildlife and scenery.

Our tour guides are skilled at tracking down the northern lights. They’ll take you to places where the aurora is most likely to appear — and share fascinating facts about solar science.

Your guide will also handle all the logistics of your trip. So you can sit back and relax, enjoying every moment of your once-in-a-lifetime northern lights adventure.

Our guided tours in Norway include:

• Airport transfers
• Accommodation
• Escorted bus tour with an English-speaking guide
• Half-board or full-board dining
• Guided activities
• A guided aurora hunt each evening

Please note that our Norway northern lights holidays don’t include flights. But if you’d like advice on the airlines and airports to use when travelling to Norway from the UK or USA, just let us know. We’re happy to help.

On our escorted tours of Norway, you can enjoy a selection of the following activities:

• Travel to a reindeer farm, where you’ll meet and feed the reindeer — and learn about Sámi traditions.
• Meet a real-life rocket scientist at Andøya Space Centre. Embark on an interactive visitor experience to learn about the science of the aurora borealis.
• Visit the famous Lofoten Islands, with their craggy peaks and colourful, wooden houses. Experience the raw beauty of nature and explore the area’s vibrant art scene.
• Take a road trip like no other, travelling to Andøya, Vesterålen’s northernmost island — a place famed for its dramatic mountains and long, sandy beaches.
• Go on a sea eagle safari. Travel by boat to see these majestic birds of prey up close.
• Chase the northern lights each night with your aurora guide. Travel to remote regions with dark, cloudless skies. Gather around the bonfire and wait for the aurora borealis to appear.

Other activities you’d like to experience? Just let us know and we’ll try to incorporate them into your trip. This northern region of Norway is renowned for whale watching, fishing, hiking and snowshoeing.

We only run small group tours in Norway, up to a maximum of eight people. We can also arrange private escorted tours for couples, families and friends.

The northern lights are a little unpredictable. But we do everything we can to maximise your chances of seeing the aurora borealis on our tour packages to Norway.

We take you to remote regions with very little light pollution, where the northern lights shine brightest.

Our expert aurora tour guides are also skilled at tracking down areas with clear, cloudless skies. You’ll travel with them, each evening, to places where the aurora is most likely to appear.

During winter, northern Norway is very cold. There aren’t many hours of daylight and temperatures rarely rise above freezing. So people dress for comfort and warmth.

We recommend bringing thermal base layers, a middle layer and a warm jumper. A warm, winter coat, walking boots and waterproofs are essential. You should also pack a hat, gloves and warm socks.

For nighttime excursions and fjord cruises, we provide Arctic outerwear. This includes a snow jacket, thermal overalls, snow boots and Arctic gloves.
