AWE offers a varied itinerary throughout the year for small groups, including Whale watching (Orcas)and skiing during the winter months (Nov-Jan) to tented treks during the summer under the midnight sun. Additionally, there will be beautiful rock carvings to visit, as well as to Arran, the important indigenous Sami centre with its small but informative museum.  As with all our programmes, these tours have a low environmental impact and are arranged in close co-operation with the local communities. You will travel, observe and learn.

Whale watching
 

The Hamarøy/Tysfjord area is a unique ecological environment.  Most of it is pristine wilderness with communities established along the coastal strip and nearby islands that are mainly sustained by forestry, fishing and farming. the marine life around the islands and skerries close to our base, as well as some of the fastest currents in Northern Europe, provide a fascinating tour.  

The arctic night offers its beauty

The trail lasts for 3-7 days.  Nature will communicate with you in a thousand ways.  It could be the aurora borealis shimmering above the winter landscape, the sound of a roaring river which you may have to cross in summer, or the sight of stampeding reindeer.  Whatever it may be, this ancient land will remind you of where your ancestors first came from – and where you still belong.
