[title] => The Midnight Sun
[alias] => midnight-sun
[note] =>
[description] => What is the Midnight Sun?
The Midnight Sun is essentially where the sun does not set below the horizon, causing 24 hours of daylight. This is due to the tilt in the world’s axis which makes the North Pole face towards the sun in the summer.
The effect of the Midnight Sun is, of course, longer days. People in this region take full advantage with festivals, barbeques and summer activities such as kayaking and hiking. It is said that those who live in these regions have more energy during the months of the Midnight Sun and can take the time to appreciate the evenings filled with warm light and long shadows.
Another benefit of the Midnight Sun is that it makes even the most remote regions greener. The flora and fauna are given an energy boost which leads to a growth of delicious fruits such as cloudberries and lingonberries.
When does the Midnight Sun occur?
Within the Arctic Circle, this natural occurrence is visible from around the 12th June to 1st July, with a greater date range the further north you travel. In the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, the Svalbard Archipelago does not experience a sunset from around the 19th April to the 23rd August.
We offer several dedicated Midnight Sun trips which all take full advantage of this natural occurrence. There are also a variety of activities we offer throughout the evenings so that you can watch the way the sun barely dips along the horizon before rising again.
Where can I go on holiday to see the Midnight Sun?

[description] => Active itineraries for experiences of a lifetime
Experiencing a destination in an active way can offer a unique perspective and help create some unforgettable memories at the same time.
Through our sister company, Activities Abroad which specialises in family activity holidays, we have accrued over a decade of experience working with some of the world’s best activity providers. We have used this knowledge and connections with our network of trusted partners to design some outstanding active itineraries here at Artisan Travel too.

Do I need a high level of fitness for a multi-activity summer holiday?
No. None of our multi-activity holidays require a high level of fitness and we will provide information on the length of each activity as well as its difficulty.
You also don’t need any prior experience of an activity unless we clearly state this is required, as all our activities come with dedicated guides and experts to help teach you the ropes.
Our expert guides are the best in the business and, as ever, your safety always comes first.
Summer activity holiday destinations
In the summer months, many regions offer a wide variety of activity options for all levels. Some of our itineraries include the activity highlights we feel you simply have to try and other holidays are left completely open for you to choose how you wish to experience the destination.
In Gozo for example, we offer you the chance to choose from a range of activities such as sea kayaking, cycling, climbing and hiking. You might want to fill up every minute with exciting activities or you could have a combination of active experiences with relaxing moments such as enjoying the delightful cuisine, exploring the picturesque coastline or delving into the island’s history and culture.
In both the Azores and Madeira, you’ll explore on land and at sea for an all-encompassing experience of these brilliant archipelagos. Activities on these striking islands include walks, cycling and kayaking as well as some optional extras such as canyoning and full day hikes.
Or perhaps you’d like to visit Croatia, where a combination of historic cities and island havens await. There are many different activities on offer to help you explore this wonderful region, including cycling, snorkelling and paddle boarding.
Travel with the experts
Our Artisan Travel Experts know our destinations intimately and will be more than happy to discuss the various activity options with you if you have any questions about our holidays. Our clients’ safety is our primary concern so you can rest assured that you will be travelling in the best possible hands.

Photography holidays
Our photography holidays are all about capturing spectacular destinations. Not only will you work on your photography skills, but you’ll also have a fabulous reminder of your holiday to cherish forever.
Though all of our handpicked destinations are photogenic, we know that for many people, photography is a real passion and so we have created holidays which place photography at their heart.

Local expert photographers
Utilising our local expert photographers, we have crafted tours that enable you to enjoy exceptional experiences whilst learning some specialist photographic techniques. Our guides know all the tricks required for the conditions in their region and can offer a lot of advice on how to overcome the challenges presented by the destination.
The best of the location
The beauty of working with local guides and experts is that their knowledge allows you to capture scenes that elude the majority of visiting photographers. Our guides will take you to the most scenic spots at the best time of day, as well as the hidden gems that only the locals know about.
Where can you go on a photography holiday?
We offer a range of destinations for your photography holiday. In Gozo, you’ll be accompanied by professional photographer Pete Bullen for a hands-on approach to landscape photography.
In Iceland, whale watching and Aurora hunting are prime photographic opportunities and are definitely memories you’ll want evidence of.
No matter which of our photography holidays you choose, you are sure to capture some once-in-a-lifetime experiences of the destination.
