We offer a tour for a small group to enjoy togetherness and excitement while hunting for Northern Lights in the beautiful landscapes of the Altafjord. We arrange organized guided tours since 2007 and have the knowledge about how to find the Northern Lights if the conditions are there. On our tours you normally will have 80-90 % chance of seeing this spectacular view. Each tour is different, as we focus on finding the optimal place with the greatest chance of seeing the lights. We therefore sometimes have to drive quite far to find them, while sometimes we find them in the surrounding area. Necessary driving distance decide whether we establish a camp with a fire, or whether we serve hot chocolate and snacks at one of our short stops. While enjoying the great outdoors, we will share with you local stories about Norwegian way of living, local history from the Stone Age, Sami culture, reindeer-herding, 2nd World War and the modern society in Alta. We are normally back just over midnight.

No Experience, they just "Forget" to pick us from the point that was mentioned. Listen,I have made a lot, really a lot of Travels with Viator, since I really experienced, I always double check before. And in the same day at noon i wrote them via viator chat , just to verifyone one more time( the pick-up should be at 8pm at Alta Havn for cruise ship- it all written in my previous talk to them) but no answer to my massage. ( they did answer me in the past) We'll i went to the pick up point anyway ,at time ,we were waiting for 1 hour! During this hour, i masseged them few times, called via WhatsApp to their number, That was given in company details. text to their company whatapp-and nothing! No response So i use the chat with the viator support team ,the viator man checked all the previous writing with them , he tried to call them too and no answer for him too- So he immediately start to process of a full refund. And was very sorry for that. But it's not about the money, you are not visiting in winter so north "often" ,so if they don't come, you have no other option do to at 21pm- so it's destroy your evening. It's been 3 days since that happen, still not even one response from them !! ( and we did chat on viator support few time before the trip- so it really easy to reach me, i have internet all the time and can see and massage that come via viator ) well, maybe the tour is great, maybe it's not , it's also a matter of luck with Aurura. But there few companies that do that tour so Try to choose one you can trust on it. Not this one! I wonder if they finally will reply here,to my review, and see how to you, they will try to explain. But I did everything right. ( so I hope so will not try to say I wasn't in the pick-up area- or something like that)

A fantastic experience from start to finish! We were met by Stig next to the cruise terminal who took us back to the base to wrap up in warm clothing. Dia and Max met us there and were our guides for the evening. Dia was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and explained lots of different sites as we drove past. We were very fortunate to spot the Northern lights early in our trip and they took us to a secluded spot to get some great photos. Being a small group we had the opportunity to visit a couple more locations that a coach wouldn’t have been able to see. It was an amazing experience and Max and Dia couldn’t have been more helpful with spotting the lights and helping with photos. We also enjoyed a hot chocolate around a campfire with some delicious pastries which just added to the experience. This was far better value than excursions booked through the cruise and a far more personal experience, we’d highly recommend!

We did not find Northern Lights! Long trip into the mountains of Norway in the dark. Staff of two were very kind - sorry that they could not find the northern lights .

We really enjoyed the tour, they tried several different stops to make sure we had the best experience possible. It was an overcast night but they found us Northern Lights and it was beautiful. We did this as a special tour off of our cruise ship and we ended up being one of the few people who were able to see the lights on the cruise because of weather conditions. We are so glad we did it and would highly recommend it.
