Senja island: A true winter adventure

5th - 11th March 2026

Most adventurous photo tour to the magical island of Senja

Have you been looking into joining a photo tour to Senja, but have you noticed that all the offered photo tours look more or less the same?

If you are looking for adventure and are willing to work for your photos, then this might be the tour you are looking for. I will take you off the beaten path, to wilder, secluded and more difficult to reach locations on this incredibly diverse and majestic island. We will use snowshoes to walk away from the roadside locations and to hike up mountains.

Senja is known as Norway in miniature and has it all. From sharp jagged peaks, sandy beaches, fjords, traditional fishing villages and countless mountains. Senja is also located right under the Auroral oval which makes it the perfect place to see and photograph the Northern Lights.

Small group

We will have a small group of 3 participants and me, Jurre Jan, as your guide.
A small group will make sure we are more flexible and that we will not stand in each-others way when taking photos. It also allows us to use a more comfortable 4×4 car instead of a van.
Day and Night

We want to make the most of what Senja has to offer, and one of these things are the Northern Lights. Be prepared for long days, taking photos during the day and when the darkness is being illuminated by the magnificent Aurora.

What to expect

A week full of adventure, visiting unknown and known locations in a small group of 3 participants and me as your guide.

Senja isn’t a small island, in fact, it’s the 2nd biggest island of Norway. So there is a lot, and I mean a lot to explore and photograph.

The (north)west coast is by far the most famous, because of the rugged coastline and their incredible sharp mountains. But other parts of the island offer amazing, rarely photographed scenery as well. Our days will be filled with exploring and photographing as much as we can.

Don’t worry, we will also visit the well known sights, as they are well known for a good reason. But we will not only focus on these locations.
