I just completed the 2026 Norwegian Midnight Sun (North to South) tour with Ayres Adventures, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Starting high up in Tromsø and riding south completely enriched how I experienced Norway’s changing landscapes.
I rode the new BMW R1300GS, and it proved to be the absolute perfect bike for this journey—delivering flawless power, comfort, and handling on every twisty road and coastal highway. Conquering the North Cape—riding 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle where the sun literally never sets—was a memory of a lifetime. From the remote, vast plains of Finnish Lapland down through the jagged peaks of the Lofoten Islands, the route selected by Ayres was a dream for any motorcyclist.
What truly made this trip world-class was our two tour guides, Claus and Frank. Both were engaging, professional, and outstanding throughout the tour. Their thorough route knowledge, logistics management, and infectious enthusiasm kept the energy high every day. They handled every ferry schedule, hotel reservation, luggage detail, and daily briefing seamlessly. If you want to experience Norway and the Arctic on two wheels, this is the only way to do it.
