Chasing the Northern Lights by ATV – A Unique Arctic Experience
Join us for a magical evening beneath the flaming sky of the Northern Lights – on four wheels through wild and beautiful nature! After pickup from your hotel, the harbor, or the tourist information center, we drive to the small village of Kviby, where you'll receive warm clothing, a helmet, and a thorough safety briefing.
In small groups, we ride along the dramatic coastline – known for its excellent Northern Lights conditions. If the weather allows, you may see the green lights dance across the untouched Arctic landscape – an unforgettable sight.
Our experienced, English-speaking guides are passionate storytellers of Northern Norwegian nature and culture, and will do their utmost to give you an extraordinary evening. While we can’t guarantee the Northern Lights, we always go the extra mile to find them.
After the tour, you’ll be safely transported back – warm at heart, with memories to last a lifetime.

The van getting to the start of our trip was very crowded. The driver and excursion was wonderful. I would recommend this trip. We had a lot of fun.

We were promptly picked up from the pier and driven to Kviby. Once we arrived, our tour guide asked our sizes for us to a snowsuit and boots. We then headed out and jumped on the ATV’s and drove down winding roads before coming to a secluded spot to look for the Northern Lights. Due to the heavy cloud cover, we were unable to see the lights. The tour guide did ask our group if we wanted to continue driving further out, but the majority of our group were cold and opted to return, cutting our tour short by an hour and a half. I would have preferred to continue on, but we headed back. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would highly recommend this excursion.

I had never been on an ATV before so I was very apprehensive about this experience. My husband drove and I sat behind him. Very quickly my fears turned to a thrilling experience . We were given very warm coveralls and thick boots to keep us warm. We took off going away from the lights of Alta and as we rode we could see auroras in the starry sky. We stopped an open area next to the fjord photographing the many lights in the sky. It was magical. The tour operator was great. He was very concerned with our safety and enjoyment seeing the lights. He also brought coffee, tea, and cookies which were great. I highly recommend this tour. It certainly was over the top.

The ATV portion was fun and exciting. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sky was full of clouds so we did not get to see the Northern Lights, which was disappointing. They provide outdoor gear to put over your own clothes, which really helps. Our guide took us to several places to try to see the lights but the clouds would not clear. I would recommend this tour if you like to ride ATVs. It would have been great if it were a clear night.

Oscar was the best. He took great care of us. We saw so many northern lights that we lost track! Cannot recommend this activity enough.

Super Adventure! Minus 10 degrees means pretty cold on the ATV, but it is fun and we were lucky, we found a good Place to watch the Northern Lights.

My grandad and I did this experience and it was fantastic. Ended up just being us in the group and our guide went all out for us. Saw the lights immediately after getting to our first stop.

What an absolute unique experience! Some amazing views in the open air. Went to some amazing spots with clear skies and had a chance to see a little bit of the lights even through the clouds. Memorable experience! They provide everything you need with warm weather clothing, but if you're super sensitive to the cold while driving the ATV I would suggest bringing hand warmers and feet warmers. You will not be disappointed in this experience! Superb company would definitely recommend.

Was a good tour, unfortunately we didnt get to see the northern lights with the naked eye. But still mansged to get photos. Despite the heavy clouds. The ATV's were great. Plenty of photo opportunities. Tour guide was friendly and informative. Overalls, boots, gloves and helmets were provided. Which were well needed on the evening we went.

Went looking for the Northern Lights. Not a sniff but that's the luck of the draw. Went for quite a long drive on a quad bike in the dark and it was good fun. Two brothers run the show and they were good fun.
