Review of Alta’s small-group Northern Lights tour, with warm gear, local stories, flexible aurora hunting, snacks, pricing, and practical tips.
“We have loved this tour. Everything was perfect. It‘s a little pricy but not more expencive than other tours and we should not forget that we are in Norway. But very much worth the money.”
Chase the northern lights in Alta with a small group, local guides, warm drinks, Arctic gear, and round-trip hotel transport.
“We did not see any northern lights, but the experience was nonetheless interesting. We made several stops to get photos of other features around the town and the evening was capped off with a stop at the owner's home for hot chocolate and biscuits around a campfire. This is a small, family-run business with personal attention from the owner and his wife; very well run.”
Ride a snowmobile across Finnmarksvidda from Alta, chase northern lights, enjoy Arctic gear, guides, snacks, and a star-filled sky.
“Had never been on a snowmobile before, but the guide was very patient and checked regularly that I was OK. It was a brilliant experience, especially at night with the snow falling. We stopped off for a short break by a fire and it was magical. Highly recommend the whole experience.”
