Arrival:
Upon arrival at Svolvær Airport, meet your driver who will escort you to your hotel. After checking in, take time to relax or explore the quaint town. Your Aurora hunt tour begins later in the evening, so better to fortify yourself with a hearty meal. A couple of good options are the Børsen Spiser, a rustic yet refined restaurant, or the Paleo Arctic, located in the Thon Hotel and specializing in local cuisine.
At 9pm, meet your guide and prepare to enjoy the spectacular Northern Lights with an exclusive hunt with your Aurora Jaeger (hunter). He is relentless in his quest, and normally finds the Aurora almost every time. Be prepared for a long night, dress warm, and have your camera and flashlight handy. With a little luck, you'll witness an array of spectacular colors that seem to dance across the sky.

Svolvær:
After an early breakfast, meet your guide for a breathtaking ride through the fjords. Experience the magnificent Lofoten Islands by sea in the winter, learning all about the bountiful marine life. The tour starts with a lecture and slide show on local birds, mammals, geology, and climate in Lofoten. After the lecture, you'll board the boat and sail into the Vestfjord, and the Troll Fjord. In addition to stunning scenery, you're very likely to experience close encounters with the white-tailed sea eagle and many other seabirds. Returning to the port, the remainder of the day is free for relaxing or exploring the numerous art galleries.
At 6:30pm, meet your guide for a 90 minute walking tour of Svinøya. This historic town is the oldest part of Svolvær, and has been a thriving, vibrant fishing village since 1828. Your guide will provide an engaging commentary as well as answer questions such as; "Why do people live in Lofoten? What is stockfish and what do we do with it? How did the fishermen live 100 years ago, and what did a "rorbu" actually look like? What happened in the Trollfjord in 1890?" So enjoy the entertaining stories, ask questions, and don't forget to smell and taste the stockfish.
