The owners were so accommodating and knowledgeable. They provided boots and outer wear so we weren’t cold. We learned a lot about the area and their lives. Unfortunately we didn’t see any northern lights because of the clouds and snow but we drove to many different areas to look. I’d highly recommend the tour.

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.

I struggled here, I would have preferred a 3.5.
When you go on one of these tours there is never a guarantee you will see the lights. Nature controls that. But when you go out knowing from experience that it is highly unlikely, there should be an option for the tour operator or tourist to call it half way thru and have an agreed refund amount.
Otherwise you are driving around with little hope.
That said the operators were fabulous and engaging but there has to be a better ending on nights like this.

We did not see any northern lights, but the experience was nonetheless interesting. We made several stops to get photos of other features around the town and the evening was capped off with a stop at the owner's home for hot chocolate and biscuits around a campfire.
This is a small, family-run business with personal attention from the owner and his wife; very well run.

Alta Adventures is a very experienced outfit, and despite doubtful weather conditions, they managed to find us some great Northern Lights in a beautiful setting! I would have booked with them for a second night if they had more tours available! Thanks, Diamela and Marius!

Mark (English version name) was an excellent guide! They made a special trip just for us due to our ship itinerary changing last minute. We did get the snowmobile stuck 3 times but he was very patient about us getting it stuck and was very skilled getting it unstuck. They provided gear to keep warm but advised to wear at least 3 layers underneath.

Enjoyed Stieg talking about the Alta area. Unfortunately, the night was cloudy so there were no northern lights to be seen.

Stig and his wife were a delight; very accommodating and kind. The tour was interesting and Stig kept up an informative narration. The stop at the "camp" was highlighted by a campfire, hot chocolate, roasted marshmallows, and sweet rolls.
Due to the weather, the Lights did not appear but the overall experience still gets five stars. Thanks Stig!
