Review of Bodø’s small-group Northern Lights safari, with practical details on timing, price, photos, weather, transport, and guide Ivar.

Fantastic guide photos available within a couple of hours. Thoroughly recommend this tour with Ivar.”

“What an unforgettable adventure! On our way to a family reunion in Værøy, we met up in Bodø and decided to join a moose safari—five of us signed up, and we’re so glad we did. We saw nearly 20 moose, several deer, four adorable baby foxes, and even a random cow that made us all laugh. Our guide was not only a passionate nature lover but also incredibly knowledgeable, adding depth and excitement to the entire experience. To top it all off, he shared some amazing photos he’d taken during the safari, which made it even more special. If I could give it 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat!”

Review of Bodø’s six-hour guided snowshoe trip, with snowy forests, flexible routes, gear, transfers, guides, pricing, and practical tips.
“Ivar knows Nordland/Bodø's surroundings incredibly well and is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. I could feel that he is committed to creating the best possible experience for his clients. Even though I was the only one booked for the day, he still agreed to go ahead with the tour, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, there was not much snow by the time I arrived, so Ivar offered me the possibility to either cancel or to go for an alternative hike. I took him up on the hike and it turned out to be a beautiful trip to a magical forest and peninsula. Ivar also stopped at several interesting spots…”

She also told us interesting facts about the dry pine tree and showed us the difference between real and fake blueberries The place, the lakes, the small waterfall, everything is beautiful, and we were lucky that it was a sunny day, so we even took a bath in one of the lakes. The water temperature was just right for refreshment, but not too cold. I recommend this trip to everyone”
