Senja lies beneath the Arctic sky of Northern Norway, where dark winter evenings create ideal conditions for experiencing the northern lights from late August to middle of April. Enjoy quiet moments by the sea to evenings spent out in the landscape, the aurora moves across the sky above mountains, fjords and coastline.

From the lighthouse, you have a 360° view to watch the northern lights as they move across the horizon. A unique place to watch the northern lights move across the horizon above Hamn and the surrounding coastline.
Follow the National Scenic Route along Senja’s dramatic west coast while searching for the northern lights. The guided route moves through mountains, coastline and Arctic landscapes beneath the night sky in search for the best conditions.

The northern lights are a sight that never loses its magic. At Hamn, you can experience them in different ways. From quiet moments at the lighthouse, out in the landscape while snowshoeing, or along the scenic routes of Senja.
