Riding under the Northern Lights

Riding under the Northern Lights

Hov is on the outside of Lofoten facing north, with almost no light pollution and no mountains that are blocking the view. All this makes it one of the best spots to see the Northern Lights in Lofoten. From September until April we offer horseback rides in late evening where we also hope to see the northern lights. We ride on the white beaches, ride past ancient remnants from the Viking Age and visit a small fishing village. The ride will be in fairly slow tempo and without daylight. The price includes a warm drink, and we provide head lamps. The prices also include free use of riding boots, helmets and outer garments.

The tours can be cancelled due to bad weather conditions, we put safety first. In the event of unfavourable weather conditions, the tour will be re-booked to another time or day that suit you.


Please bring warm clothes and read our terms and conditions here.
