Overview

This small-group bus tour lasts about four hours and takes you from Alta Center into the surrounding Altafjord area to find the best spot for viewing the Northern Lights. The guide provides an introduction to the Northern Lights and explains the current conditions while passing Alta’s Northern Lights Cathedral and scenic fjord views. Depending on conditions, the group may travel a longer distance to reach a location with a higher chance of seeing the lights. If the site is distant, a campfire is set up; if nearby, hot chocolate and snacks are served during a short stop. Along the way, the guide shares stories about local history including Sami culture, reindeer herding, Stone Age facts, World War II, and modern life in Alta. The tour usually returns just after midnight. Warm suits and boots may be borrowed if needed.
