Northern lights adventure by the sea

Join us for an unforgettable evening where nature, culture, and magic come together.

At Andenes Camping, just a short walk from the town centre, you will find the perfect location to chase the Northern Lights – far from light pollution, yet close to the sea and breathtaking Arctic scenery.

Your guide welcomes you inside the campsite’s reception, where toilets and facilities are available. Here you’ll be introduced to the history and science of the aurora, and get practical tips on how to capture it – whether with a camera or just your phone.

We gather around a fire, where you can relax, enjoy a Norwegian BBQ experience, and warm up with hot drinks while waiting for nature’s light show to appear.

Even on windy days, the experience is unique – watching the waves crash against the shore is a powerful reminder of the Arctic’s raw beauty. And when the sky opens up and the aurora dances above you, it’s a moment you’ll never forget.

Meeting point: Andenes Camping at 18:00
Duration: approx. 3–3.5 hours
Minimum: 4 participants

Magic Aurora: In Andenes we can see the Aurora after the sun goes below the horizon again (midnight sun May - July). We see her best from late autumn - when the evenings get darker.

AURORA BOREALIS

The Northern Lights phenomenon occurs when solar winds hurl electrically charged particles towards earth. The particles are electrons and protons which create light when they collide with the gases in the atmosphere.
