5Pick up from port by...
Pick up from port by friendly driver, Thor and driven to the beautiful farm in stunning scenery. The family are really friendly and welcoming chatting about the animals and their way of life. The sleigh ride was perfect and the horses beautiful. Home baked warm cinnamon buns and cured meats with a hot drink were served in the cosy Sami tent.
5Simply the best. 5 Stars + +
An unforgettable experience from start to finish. We are still thinking about and talking about it, now that we are back in England. Forget the large coach party tours because this is the one for you. You are treated as one of the family and we met so many of them right from their 4 year old lovely granddaughter to their charming grandmother. You can enjoy all the details of the fabulous long sleigh ride, meeting the animals inside as well as out, and the delicious food provided, by looking down below this review. We can only agree with everything we read there. Thanks again to one and all for such a memorable morning on the ice and snow. Wish we could come again.

5This may have been the...
This may have been the highpoint of our trip. We were on a cruise and had already seen the northern lights several times - but this experience was special - it turned out that we were the only two people on this tour and Vigo picked us up at the cruise dock meeting place. The drive to the farm was only about 35 minutes. Upon arrival at the farm, his daughter and granddaughter were waiting with the Norwegian Fjord Horse- drawn sleigh and they drove us around the farm for about 40 minutes. It was a cold (around 20 degrees (F)) evening and the sky was clear. The ride was beautiful and quiet and then they took us to their "lavvu" for some homemade cinnamon buns and sheep sausage and hot tea/chocolate. We also got a tour of the barn with their horses and sheep as this is primarily a sheep farm. Three generations live and work on the farm. The family was delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. On the way back, Vigo spotted the northern lights just before we got on the main highway and we had our last look at the spectacular aurora before getting back to the ship. This was a very special outing and i would highly recommend this to others.

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.
