Discover the magic of the Northern Lights with passionate local guides who know Alta, its hidden gems and the Arctic wilderness like no one else! Join your intimate Northern Lights adventure up to 8 pax on each minibus for a more personal and authentic experience.

Every night is unique! We follow the best conditions, exploring the stunning Altafjord landscapes or travelling further to find clear skies. Along the way, enjoy hot chocolate, snacks and, when possible, a cosy campfire.
