Lighthouse Tours

Kavringen LIghhtouse
2026 Norway
Aug 02, 2026 to Aug 15, 2026

Join us on a lighthouse tour of Norway. Norway's main nickname is "The Land of the Midnight Sun", due to the natural phenomenon where the sun stays above the horizon for 24 hours in the northern parts of the country during summer. The landscape is very unique and the the lighthouses are one of a kind. The cuisine of Norway is diverse - from pungent seafood to crumbly cheeses and unusual meat dishes. This is the food you never knew you wanted to try. Don't miss out on the opportunity to say "God Morgen" (Good Morning) and view 30 plus lighthouses in 14 days.
