4ATV northern lights in Tromso
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.
4ATV search for the Northern Lights
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.
5ATV fun and thrills under the stars
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.
4Exciting
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.
5Oscar was the best. He...
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.
5Everything fine
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.

About Alta
Alta is a town in Arctic Norway, known for ancient rock carvings, the northern lights, midnight sun and a great salmon river running to a fjord.
Alta lies at the head of Altafjord in Finnmark, the northernmost county of mainland Norway, where pine and birch forests give way to open mountain plateau. Its rock art, thousands of carvings of reindeer, boats and people made between about 4000 BC and 500 BC, is listed by UNESCO, and the Alta Museum explains it with boardwalk trails around the carved rock faces. The Northern Lights Cathedral, a spiralling titanium-clad church, is a landmark in the centre.
