Boat Tours Information

What to Bring

Packing the right items enhances your comfort and enjoyment during the tour. Dress in layers and wear waterproof and windproof attire, as the weather on the fjords can be unpredictable. Hats, gloves, and thermal wear are essential in the winter months. It is wise to bring a camera to capture the breathtaking landscapes and possible wildlife sightings.

Best Time for Boat Tours

Winter, spanning from late November to January, offers the opportunity to chase the Northern Lights, a breathtaking phenomenon in the dark, clear skies. During this time, boat tours are designed to provide warmth and comfort, often using hybrid-electric boats.
