Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Our guide Steven was amazing! He was at the right time for pickup and drived us to three places to spot the Northern lights though it was visible for us from the first spot itself. He took pictures of our group members for northern lights portraits. He was providing us information about in and around Alta throughout our journey. And to our luck we saw Northern Lights in all possible colours. Steven also gave us hot chocolate and some delicious pastries. All in all it was an awesome tour and i would recommend everyone to do it!
Our guide was fantastic. Today the sky was very cloudy and it started snowing, but we found the northern lights. Thank you so much! We’ll never forget this experience!

Know before you go
- It is recommended to have dinner before the trip.
- Be aware that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and therefore we cannot be guaranteed that you will see it. Anyway, our guide will do his best to find them driving to the right place due to weather conditions and KP value (strenght of solar winds).
- You should know that pictures often show the colors of the northern lights stronger than how they are seen with the naked eyes.
- To enjoy the northern lights, you spend long periods outdoors, in very cold winter conditions. Therefore, it is recommended that you use very warm layers, preferably wool. We will provide you outdoor clothes and boots.
- The trip is arranged regardless of the weather.
- The trip is only canceled due to dangerous weather and/or driving conditions.
- Choose Alta Havn (Alta Harbour) as your pick up place if you are coming to Alta by cruise ship. Our guide will be there looking for you at the parking place with a black minibus.
