Lyngen Northern Lights Trek

This is a relaxed sea fishing day, giving your legs a proper rest while you head out by boat. All equipment is provided, so you can simply step aboard and enjoy the 3-hour trip. From the water, you get a different view of the island scenery, with open sea around you and the coastline in sight. It is a calm change of pace after the walking stages, but still a full outdoor experience.

During the trip, there is plenty to watch besides the fishing itself. The waters around the island are a good place to spot seabirds, and eagles may also be seen along the way. With some luck, dolphins can appear near the boat, making the outing even more memorable. The main aim, of course, is to fish, with the chance to catch a large cod or even a halibut.

After the fishing trip, you return to shore and continue to your accommodation. The rest of the day is easy, with time to relax, enjoy the catch of the day if possible, and take in the island atmosphere without putting extra strain on your legs.

Today takes you into the beautiful Reisa Valley, on the doorstep of Reisa National Park. After a scenic drive through wide northern landscapes, you set out on foot near Bilto and make your way towards Sarafossen. Along the way, you’ll experience ancient forests, open mountain scenery and the quiet, untouched atmosphere that makes this part of northern Norway so special.

As you hike deeper into the landscape, keep an eye out for eagles, rare birds, moose and reindeer. The highlight of the day is Sarafossen itself, where the waterfall drops dramatically through the rugged surroundings. After taking in the views and the peaceful wilderness of the Reisa National Park area, you return along the same route and head back to the lodge, where the evening brings another chance to look out for the Northern Lights if conditions are favourable.

Today you discover one of Uløya’s lesser-known coastal gems. After a short drive from the lodge, you set out from Klauvnes and follow a beautiful trail along the island’s northern side. The landscape constantly changes as the path rises and falls between rocky beaches, open meadows and unusual rock formations shaped by the sea.

Along the way, you’ll pass natural rock arches, isolated pinnacles and beaches covered with smooth, ocean-polished stones. With only gentle elevation changes, this is a more relaxed hiking day and a chance to slow down and enjoy the wild coastal scenery. After completing the loop back to Klauvnes, you return to the lodge for another evening in the Arctic, with the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights if the sky is clear.

Today takes you to Kågen Island, where a scenic drive brings you to the starting point near Hamna. From here, you follow a gentle trail into the impressive Valhalla Valley, gradually leaving the coast behind as the mountains close in around you. After about an hour of hiking, the valley begins to reveal its full scale, with steep rock faces and a remote, almost untouched atmosphere.

Deeper in the valley, you reach a picturesque mountain lake beneath the enormous Valhalla Wall, a striking granite face rising around 550 metres above the valley floor. The setting is dramatic and peaceful, making this one of the most memorable mountain landscapes of the trip. After taking time to enjoy the scenery, you follow the same route back to Hamna before returning to the lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, it’s time to say goodbye to Uløya and the Lyngenfjord. With a week of Arctic landscapes, mountain adventures and hopefully some unforgettable Northern Lights behind you, your transfer begins for the journey home.
