As part of a small group you are invited to a guided stay in the Arctic town of Harstad, in Northern Norway, during the local contemporary music festival 'Ilios', one of Norway's most important festivals in this field.

Tour dates: 4. - 8. February.

 

This is the perfect opportunity to experience high quality and diverse contemporary music, as well as Arctic people, culture, nature and light. Harstad is beautifully situated by a fjord, and it has several cozy cafes and high quality restaurants.

The area has a strong history that goes back thousands of years, including a strong Viking history, so this is an opportunity to experience Arctic way of life, both contemporary and historical.

You are welcome to stay in one of the modern and comfertable hotels in the town, while your tour guide Helene Hokland will introduce you to the area.  Helene will take you on Northern Lights safari and on beautiful walks in the nature in between the optional concerts - and you will of course meet the lovely people in Harstad!  Read more about Harstad here.

tour guide Helene Hokland

I am your tour guide and coordinator. I'm originally from Harstad in Northern Norway, but I lived 17 years in London soaking up the international life there. When I recently moved back to Northen Norway, I decided I want to show this stunning and undiscovered area to the rest of the world. I present several unique tours in this area at different times of the year. In the summer you can experience the midnight sun, and in the winter the northern lights - weather permitting – but always the special Arctic light and nature here. Read more about me here.
