When darkness falls over Northern Norway, something begins that can best be described as part adventure, part science project – and just a little bit of madness: the hunt for the Northern Lights. Because yes – finding the aurora is a small science in itself. It’s not just about luck or pretty boots. The adventure begins with a heartwarming visit to some of Northern Norway’s most charming creatures – llamas, alpacas, woolly pigs, and horses. After that and the sky darkens, the real journey begins. In a small, comfortable group – never more than eight people – we set out on a calm, fun, and slightly mysterious chase. Along the way, we warm up with hot drinks and a selection of Norwegian delicacies – carefully chosen treats that tell the story of local traditions and northern flavors. Sweet and savory bites – perhaps a little chocolate, something smoked, something unexpected – and it will for sure taste even better under the stars.

Leave the lights of Alta behind and join Finnmark Adventure, a small local company based in Alta, for a warm and comfortable journey into the Arctic night. There is no fixed route. Our local guides follow the weather and clouds and adjust the journey to find the best possible conditions. When the sky looks promising, we stop. Step outside, breathe the Arctic air, take photographs, enjoy the silence and look up. Your evening includes a dedicated Aurora presentation, explaining how the Northern Lights are created and why they appear in different colors. You will also hear old Arctic stories and Sámi traditions surrounding these mysterious lights. Perhaps that is why the Aurora can feel so magical. Our bus is warm and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax. Warm drinks and snacks are served during the evening. We can never promise the Northern Lights — nature decides. But our local guides will use their knowledge and experience to give you the best possible chance to see them.
