What to expect:

  • Golden hour light for hours (photographer’s dream)

  • Long, calm days — great for hiking, kayaking, or road trips

  • Locals are more social, bars stay open later

  • Sleep can be hard — bring an eye mask!

If you’re visiting in late May or early August, you’ll still get near-midnight sun vibes without the extremes.
