Rorbu Cabin Holidays

Imagine waking up on a sunny and clear morning. You walk out barefoot and drink some coffee. A sea eagle soars majestically above the turquoise sea. Small fish dart through the water below you among the wharf poles. Oh yes, you are awake.

Northern Lights? Nyksund has turned off the lights

Mystery on the night sky (Photo: Gaute Bruvik/NordNorsk Reiseliv)

Northern Lights – magic in the night sky

A light-footed dance, billowing curtains, arches and ribbons in a supernatural green colour. On occasion, the sky explodes into a kaleidoscope of green, white, pink and violet for a seemingly endless second. Down on solid ground, we pinch ourselves and ask whether we did actually see what we just saw. Northern Norway is one of the best places in the world to watch the Northern Lights.
