Alta: The Northern Lights Bus – a comfortable Arctic journey

Leave the city lights behind and step into the quiet Arctic darkness. The Northern Lights Bus offers a calm, comfortable chase for the aurora — with plenty of space on board and no crowded vehicles. Settle in, stay warm, and let the night unfold. Our local drivers follow the weather, the clouds, and a touch of Arctic intuition to find the best viewing spots. There is no fixed route — only the freedom to go where the sky is clearest. For centuries, the Northern Lights have been wrapped in mystery. The Sámi once believed the lights were spirits dancing across the sky, powerful and alive, to be met with respect and silence. When the aurora appears, it’s easy to understand why. We do everything we can to find the dancing green lady, but she follows her own rules. Some nights she fills the sky, other nights she hides. Either way, the journey through silent landscapes, crisp air, and ancient stories is an experience in itself. Tours with six guests or fewer are conducted by car.
