WHAT YOU VISIT
In Search of the Northern Lights by Boat
Alta is one of the best places on Earth to experience the Northern Lights due to its unique location within the auroral oval, the band around the Earth's magnetic poles. View their sparkling, iridescent beauty on a magical cruise through the Altafjord, known for its stunning landscape. Dress warmly, bring your camera, and prepare for an unforgettable evening surrounded by nature's beauty. Your boat waits just a few steps away from the pier and once aboard, the captain will cruise out between the mountains and across the calm, dark sea. Relax with coffee in the warm indoor observation lounge or step out onto the open deck to admire this awe-inspiring phenomenon.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to the ethereal beauty of the lights and landscape, the Altajord is home to sea eagles, seals, whales and moose.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your guides will share fascinating stories about the science behind the Aurora Borealis and local cultural traditions as you wait for the awe-inspiring colors of green and pink to flash and splash across the starry skies.
