Welcome to our public Northern Lights tour. By public we mean that anyone can sign up and that the group may consist of people from all over the world. These are generally very enjoyable trips with a diverse group of up to eight guests and a guide/driver.
The actual tour
After picking up our guests from their hotels, we head straight to GLØD headquarters for a briefing. We will also serve the Soup of the Night. If you need some warmer clothes, we can arrange this too.
If you have booked the combined tour, dog sledding and the Northern Lights, your dog sledding guide will drive you down to us.
After the briefing, wet set off on our Northern Lights hunt!
To optimize our chances of experiencing the Northern Lights, we head to areas with little or no light pollution. We travel by minibus in search of an area with starry sky and good views.
If the weather conditions in Alta are poor, we head elsewhere. This may mean a drive of 200 km, either along the coast, fjords or in the inland of Finnmark. We make regular stops to check the conditions and, if conditions permit, to take photos. Then we happily continue in search of new, exciting and nice locations, either to find new photo subjects or – if the conditions are challenging – to find clear weather.
We will serve snacks and hot chocolate during the trip.
Northern Lights photos
The guides are well acquainted with a variety of cameras and will often be able to help you to adjust the settings on your own camera. Please note that some compact cameras are not suitable for taking good photos of the Northern Lights. However, the guide has good photographic equipment and will take photos along the way. These photos will be made available to the tour participants. You will also receive a free photo of yourself with the Northern Lights behind.
