Best Time to Visit

From my personal experience traveling around Salten, each season offers something unique with Beate’s tours. Summer brings the midnight sun (June-July), perfect for extended hiking and photography sessions. But honestly? September through March is when the magic really happens – that’s prime Northern Lights season. I remember this one time in October when Beate led us to this secret spot, and we watched the aurora dance above a mirror-like fjord. Absolutely unreal.

Winter tours (November-February) are particularly special, though you’ll wanna bundle up real good. The snow-covered landscapes create this otherworldly atmosphere that’s just perfect for photography. Spring (April-May) can be a bit unpredictable weather-wise, but you’ll get to experience the stunning transformation of the landscape as it awakens from winter.

How to Get There

Getting to your tour with Beate is pretty straightforward. Most tours start in Bodø, which you can reach via direct flights from Oslo or other major Norwegian cities. The Bodø Airport is super convenient – just a short drive from the city center.

Once you’re in Bodø, Beate typically arranges pickup from central locations or your hotel. Y’know what’s cool? She’s really flexible with meeting points, especially for Northern Lights tours when you might need to chase clear skies in different directions. Just make sure to communicate with her beforehand about your accommodation details.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, lemme share some insider tips that’ll make your tour experience even better. First off, dress in layers – trust me on this one. The weather in Salten can change faster than you can say “fjord,” and you’ll want to be prepared. I learned this the hard way during my first winter tour!

Book your tour well in advance, especially during Northern Lights season. Beate’s tours are popular, and spots fill up quick. Don’t forget to bring your camera – even if you’re not a pro photographer, Beate’s got some great tips for capturing those perfect shots.

Here’s something most people don’t think about: bring some snacks! While Beate often provides some traditional Norwegian treats, having your own backup energy boost is always smart. And speaking of energy, make sure your camera batteries are fully charged and bring spares – the cold can drain them faster than you’d expect.

Be upfront about your physical fitness level and any specific interests you have. Beate’s great at adapting tours to match her guests’ abilities and preferences. Oh, and one more thing – keep your schedule flexible if possible. Sometimes the best experiences happen when you can extend a tour to catch that perfect moment or weather condition.

Lastly, don’t be shy about asking questions! Beate loves sharing her knowledge about the region, and that’s how you’ll get the most authentic and enriching experience. Some of the best moments on her tours come from spontaneous conversations and unplanned stops at places that catch your interest.
