Our Premium Private Northern Lights Hunt is designed for those who seek more than just a tour — it is a bespoke expedition tailored entirely to your pace, comfort, and curiosity. While others follow a set path, your private guide uses real-time satellite data and local expertise to navigate the vast landscapes around Alta, searching for the clearest skies and the most dramatic backdrops. Whether we find the lights dancing over a silent fjord, reflecting in a frozen lake, or crowning a mountain plateau, the night belongs to you. This is your opportunity to witness the celestial dance of the Aurora Borealis in total serenity, surrounded only by the people you choose. Your evening begins with a private pickup from your accommodation in Alta. Your expert guide will provide an introduction to the science and folklore of the Northern Lights, along with a briefing on the evening’s weather conditions. Because this tour is 100% private, the itinerary is fluid — we are not bound by a schedule, we are bound by the quest for the best view. Throughout the night, your guide will share stories of local history, Sámi culture, and Arctic life, turning the drive into an immersive storytelling experience. Fully Private Experience An exclusive vehicle and guide dedicated entirely to your party, ensuring total privacy and a relaxed atmosphere with no strangers, no compromises, and no fixed stops. Expert Aurora Tracking Sophisticated monitoring of solar activity and cloud cover allows your guide to navigate in real time to the best possible viewing spots. Alta’s geography — fjords, mountains, and open plateau — gives us exceptional range and flexibility. Personalized Storytelling Your private guide shares deep insights into local history, Sámi culture, and the science of the Aurora — tailored to your interests and the mood of the evening. No two nights are the same. Bespoke Itinerary The length and destinations are adapted in real time based on the latest weather data and your personal preferences. When the Aurora begins its performance, your guide finds a secluded spot to set up, helps you capture the perfect photograph, and ensures you leave with memories that last a lifetime. Premium Gear Provided High-end thermal suits and winter boots are included to keep you warm and comfortable throughout the Arctic night, so you can focus entirely on the sky above. Culinary Comfort Enjoy a selection of premium local snacks and warm beverages served at a scenic location chosen specifically for your group — because the best Aurora moments deserve something to savour alongside them.
Discover the magic of this unique experience.



Slip into a warm suit, step into the dark, and let your guide chase clear Arctic skies until the Aurora is yours alone! This season is already moving on without you — claim your night under the lights now!

We stayed at the Gargia Lodge in Dec '25. Despite some bad weather and clouds (even with projected Kp values as low as 1) we got multiple nights of lovely northern lights viewing, right outside our cabin doors. In fact we could check the sky through the window - and just step out when it was clear &...
We spent some days there in January to watch aurora borealis (aka northern lights). The lodge is really a good place, far out in the country side, not much light pollution.
