If you're looking for a unique wildlife encounter, this tour is just for you! Meet the largest species in the deer family, the majestic moose! Offered year-round, this excursion in Vesterålen from Sortland promises unforgettable animal experiences!

In the company of your professional guide, you'll be taken to all of the best places to observe these creatures in their natural habitat. The guides at Vesterålen Tours spend much of their time searching for moose and know many of them well. As such, they are knowledgeable about animal behaviour. In addition, your guide will also take photos during the excursion, which they will send after the tour.

Don't be fooled by the weather forecast! The moose aren't shy and go about their lives no matter the weather. Since each season represents changes in the natural rhythm of the lifecycle of a moose, here's what you can expect:

Autumn

Surrounded by the beauty of the fall colours and the stunning landscapes, you'll see large bulls with their impressive fully-grown antlers. Since it is mating season, you might witness fights between males, or bulls trying to win over females. Early morning or evening are the best times to see moose this time of year.

Winter

Perfect under the breathtaking Northern Lights at nighttime and in the morning, the moose blend seamlessly into the snowy winter landscape. The bulls still have their antlers until early winter and they are a sight to behold!

Spring

That wonderful time when everything starts to bloom and migrating animals return! The moose are more active and move from winter to summer grounds. It is common to find them taking a refreshing dip. From May onwards, this region in Norway has the "Midnight Sun" and the best tours take place in the early morning.

Summer

Moose calves are usually born in June or early July and the bulls' antlers start to grow back. It is an excellent time of year to observe these amazing animals! The tours are mostly run at night.

No matter the season, you'll be astounded by these magnificent creatures, so don't forget to bring your camera! Don't miss this unique moose safari in Vesterålen from Sortland and book your next adventure in Norway today!

The tour far exceeded our expectations. We met our guide Jens at 11pm in Sortland. Jens drove us around the islands for 4 hours and we saw 21 moose and also some reindeer, owls and mountain hares. It was midnight sun and therefore very bright even with overcast skies, but we wouldn't have spotted any animals ourselves. Jens also knows a lot about the animals and we had very interesting conversations. Jens is also very friendly and relaxed and you can tell that he loves what he does. In addition, he is a very good nature photographer and takes wonderful photos with his camera equipment during the tour. He makes the photos available after the tour. We thank Jens for an unforgettable experience and we would book this tour again. The organization (booking, payment, tour) was also very professional and uncomplicated.

The trip was really fun. Jens picked us up in Sortland and we drove around the islands for more than four hours and saw 19 different mooses. We also saw some reindeer, eagles and seals. Jens told us so many interesting things about the islands and the animals, and you can feel that this really is his passion. Also he takes amazing photos with his camera. 10/10 would recommend.
