There’s also the likes of snowshoe hikes among icy forests and horse rides along sandy bays and past jagged ridges and the islands’ ubiquitous stockfish racks. What’s more, on oneevening, we’ve included an aurora hunt in the company of a local photographer, who’ll show you the best locations and introduce you to the necessary skills for capturing the Northern Lights on camera – make sure you pack your tripod!
