WITH SPECIAL GUEST CO-HOST RICHARD TATTI AND 2 LOCAL GUIDES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ASTRO AND AURORA PHOTOGRAPHY
Supported with Two Local Expert Guides
I’m very proud and excited to announce my inaugural Norway Tour in 2026. After spending a month there in 2018 and 3 weeks in 2025, it’s time for me to show you the incredible beauty of the Lofoten area of Norway.
Norway is, without exception, the most stunningly beautiful country I’ve ever been to in my life. Jagged snow covered mountains erupting out of the icy deep blue waters of the Atlantic. Picturesque sea-side fishing villages that still operate today with unique Rorbuer (fishing hut) accommodation. And don’t forget the most dazzling trick from nature – The Northern Lights.
Although I’m well familiar with the area, I am still using the support of 2 fully licenced local guides from the most experienced photo tour company in Lofoten to ensure you get the absolute best exposure and experience. That’s 4 guides for 10 guests which ensures you get personal attention in every aspect of the tour and your photography. We visit all the bucket list stunning locations for amazing seascape and landscape photography and with Richard you’re guaranteed the best guidance and instruction for your nightscape astro and aurora photography.
Just 10 guests in total, comfortable transport in two 9 seat vans, your own private bedroom every night, breakfast and dinner and fully guided with photographic tuition and education. The tour focuses on landscape, seascape, astro and aurora nightscape photography and having a good time.
The tour is suitable for intermediate to advanced photographers who want to explore new and unique locations and gain further knowledge and experience with their photography. A good understanding of your camera and how to adjust settings is essential to get the best from this tour.
The tour commences in Henningsvaer towards the northern end of Lofoten. The closest airport is Svolvaer. If you fly into Svolvaer then we will pick you up from the airport. Please refer to the tour notes at the bottom of this page for guidance and recommendations on flights in and out of Lofoten. Flights fill months in advance so it is important to read this section and act.
Henningsvaer is a beautiful fishing village full of cafes, restaurants and craft shops. There’s even a superb photo gallery run by the local photographer. We base ourselves here with beautiful accommodation right on the harbour foreshore for 2 nights while we explore everything in this region.
Flexibility is the key to Lofoten. It is a relatively small area that has rapidly changing weather. Because I have teamed up with experienced local photographer guides, we’ll go to the right area at the right times to maximise your experience. This includes chasing aurora at night. This flexibility means if we have a late night, we can also have a lazy morning to recover. Likewise, if the forecast is for a bad night, we’ll get an early start so we can get the most out of the day.
We now move to the middle of the Lofoten area called Mortsund. Mortsund is about a 15 minute drive from Leknes which is the largest town in Lofoten. Being in the central area, it allows maximum flexibility to most parts of Lofoten to chase aurora and the best options over most of the island.
Again, there is plenty to explore in this area and plenty of meal and dinner options in Leknes. We will visit the famous village of Nusfjord, the northern beaches of Skadsanden, Unstad and others, the fishing village of Ballstad and anywhere else the aurora dictates.
Hamnoy is a stunningly beautiful island harbour in the south of Lofoten and just north of Reine. This stretch of coastline is a series of little islands, each with their own quaint fishing village. It is a very popular area for photographers and with good reason, it is absolutely stunning! The area is surrounded by snow capped rugged mountains behind ocean and lakes. We can literally walk 50 meters from our room to the most stunning view in Norway. If the aurora comes out, I promise it will be one of the most memorable nights of your life.
Over 3 days, we explore this area from Hamnoy down to A (yes, it is a fishing village with the shortest name in the world). Reine is the most well known village in the area. You’ll also find an entirely new love of cinnamon scrolls here. I was never a fan until I went to a little cafe in Reine and then OMG!!!
Again, flexibility is key. While we have a rough itinerary for this area, timings and places will vary depending on the weather and the advice of our local guides. We’ll visit Sakrisoy, Olenilsoya, The Horn, Reine, Moskenes and A with lots of magical viewpoints in between.
For our final night we head to the gorgeous fishing village of Nusfjord. The drive in alone is breathtaking and is even called Panorama Road and passes the pristine lake Storvatnet overshadowed by a towering mountain. We are staying at the Nusfjord Village and Resort which is also home to the magnificent Karoline restaurant. This timbered walled restaurant provide a warm and intimate atmosphere with a weathered ocean view of the artic circle.
After our final breakfast together, we’ll drop you at Leknes airport for your morning or afternoon flights home. Remember to book these early so you get a seat.
