I took a daytime tour with Odd-Petter to explore the sights, and it was such a wonderful experience that we decided to book his northern lights tour the same evening—and we’re so glad we did! The lights were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire evening was unforgettable. Odd-Petter was a fantastic guide—fun, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about sharing the beauty of the region. His tour company stands out because it’s one of the few locally owned ones, and having grown up in the area, he knows the terrain, secret spots, and how to navigate the challenging roads like the back of his hand. We highly recommend booking with him for both day and night tours—you won’t be disappointed!

We had two tours on 31st of December and 1st of January with Odd-Peter and everything was fabulous! Not only that he is a local, born and raised, local photo-guide, he is very knowlegeable, very well prepared professional, but also a hugely passionate guy who enjoys every second of what he does and who drives perfect, putting safety first at all time. We managed to see the best of Lofoten, including a wonderful Aurora, and got superb pictures in Hamnøy and a great lunch recommandation at Anita's Seafood. If you don't take his tours, you make a big mistake! 😏

If it were possible, I would rate this experience 6 stars! Peter is very professional and knowledgeable, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region. He carefully planned the itinerary so we could visit all the viewpoints before the snowstorm. Even during the snowstorm, Peter ensured we returned to the hotel safely.

We loved the tour. Andrea arrived punctually, took us to the best vantage points, and takes great pictures! And because this was a private tour, there was no waiting. Overall, we were very happy with the service he provided.

Fantastic experience among fairytale landscapes!! Great professionalism of the guide that confirms the seriousness of the company. Congratulations 👍🏻
