Why take this tour?

This tour offers a stunning nature experience as you cruise among the small islands and open sea spaces along Litlmolla Island's rugged coastline.

Gliding silently under the vivid midnight sun, with the sails unfurled, presents an ideal opportunity to spot whales, dolphins, puffins, and white-tailed eagles, thriving in the uninhabited islands' habitats. If the wind is favorable, you'll learn how to manage the sails, experiencing the tranquility and exhilaration of sailing in the Norwegian Sea.

This tour is perfect for families, small groups, or couples eager to enhance their wildlife spotting opportunities, capture enchanting midnight sun photos, and delve into Norway's coastal wonders while sailing above the Arctic Circle.

Departing from Svolvær harbor, a prominent town in the Lofoten Islands, our luxury midnight sun cruise sets sail towards Litlmolla Island, an integral part of the scenic Lofoten archipelago. From mid-June to mid-July, the region revels in continuous daylight, earning Norway the title 'land of the midnight sun.' Even beyond these weeks, the lingering twilight creates captivating scenes, further enhanced by occasional whale sightings.

During certain times of the year, the excursion transforms into a serene sunset cruise, allowing you to witness the sun's gradual descent behind the mountains and vast ocean. As you sail, unwind on the upper deck with cozy blankets, staying vigilant for the various marine creatures and birds, including eagles and puffins.

This cruise navigates away from traditional wooden houses and fishing communities, venturing into pristine areas largely unaltered by human activity. After encircling Litlmolla Island, we conclude our sunset journey, heading back to our starting point. You'll disembark with a rejuvenated sense of appreciation for the Arctic's celestial magic.
