Weather adjustments & northern lights advantage
Weather-dependent activities:
All activities are weather-dependent, and the order of the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure the best possible experience for the group. If weather conditions make an activity impossible to carry out, no refund will be issued, but we will always offer a suitable alternative within the scope of the program.
Maximize your chance of seeing the northern lights:
 This travel route offers one of the highest chances of experiencing the aurora borealis. By journeying from the outer coast of Lofoten, across the mountains of southern Troms and into the inland landscapes of Lapland, we move through different weather and cloud zones, increasing the likelihood of clear skies – and northern lights.
