Northern Norway's Alta is often referred to as the 'City of the Northern Lights'.

The adventure begins at the listed meeting point in central Alta, where you and your small group will be greeted by your friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver. After receiving a warm thermal suit along with a safety and itinerary briefing, you'll board the comfortable minibus and head towards the remote backcountry surrounding Alta. Since the guide has carefully studied the evening's Aurora forecast, they know which spots to best view this incredible natural phenomenon. However, it may take 30 minutes of driving or 2 hours, depending on the weather conditions.

Making several stops over the course of the Northern Lights tour from Alta, you'll be awe-struck by the tranquillity of nature along with the spectacular and vibrant colours of the Northern Lights! In addition, the guide is happy to share Aurora photography tips and take photos of you and the group.

While seated near the crackling fire, your guide will tell fascinating stories about the Aurora Borealis along with fun facts about Norwegian culture.
