MIDNIGHT SUN TRIP
The summer is a very special time of year here in Utsjoki as the sun doesn’t set for two months from late May until late July. It’s the time of the Midnight Sun, also known as the Nightless Nights. During that period it never gets completely dark and the nights turn into an endless sunset. This is something that can only be experienced in very few locations worldwide.
Want to experience this unique natural phenomenon? Then join us here in Finnish Lapland for our special Midnight Sun tour!
DATES: 14th -19th July 2019
The Midnight Sun tour package is jam packed with a range of outdoor and cultural activities that will allow you to really experience the Nightless Nights and all they have to offer. Celebrate the long days during a night hike or sit by the campfire and listen to the sound of nature. The highlight of the week will be a photography tour where we will witness the sun at night in some of the most stunning locations in & around Utsjoki and capture the beautiful light of the Nightless Nights.
Your holiday package has also full board included. It means that you don’t need to worry about shopping, cooking or the dishes at all – we will take care of it all! Our new restaurant serves you breakfast, lunch/snacks and dinner every day during your stay.
