Midnight sun

The midnight sun can be seen between April and August, although the exact dates vary depending on the location.

No. The duration and intensity of the midnight sun differ by location. In some regions, the sun sets briefly but it never gets dark, while in the northernmost regions the sun does not set at all, staying visible 24 hours a day for several weeks.

We offer several unforgettable tours to some of the best destinations to witness the midnight sun. From the dramatic fjords of Norway to the remote Arctic landscapes of Svalbard, our tours let you enjoy extended daylight and unique summer experiences in spectacular locations. For instance:

• Lofoten, Norway – From late May to mid-July, Lofoten’s dramatic fjords and fishing villages are bathed in golden light all night, perfect for photography and outdoor adventures.
• Tromsø, Norway – Located above the Arctic Circle, Tromsø experiences the midnight sun from mid-May to mid-July and offers unique midnight activities such as hiking and cable car rides with panoramic views.
• Svalbard – From late April to late August, Svalbard offers the ultimate midnight sun experience, ideal for glacier tours, polar wildlife spotting and Arctic photography.
• Senja, Norway – Enjoy bright nights and serene landscapes on Norway’s second-largest island from late May to mid-July, ideal for coastal drives and wildlife spotting.
• Iceland – In northern Iceland, the sun barely sets during June and July, offering long days for sightseeing, hiking and enjoying waterfalls and volcanic landscapes.
• Faroe Islands – Around late May to late June, visitors enjoy nearly 24 hours of daylight for exploring dramatic cliffs, visiting quaint villages and seabird watching.
• Norwegian coastal voyages – Sailing along Norway’s coast during the midnight sun season lets passengers enjoy fjords, coastal towns and islands illuminated in continuous daylight.

We recommend taking part in unique activities under the midnight sun, such as hiking, boating, wildlife watching or midnight photography. Many local festivals and events also take advantage of the extended daylight.
