The experience of being there, out in the nature and seeing the Northern Lights flame over the star-filled sky, that is what we here at Pæskatun want to share with you! Join us in the hunt for the Northern Lights!

We pick you up at the hotel by bus, drive out of Alta and put the light pollution from the city behind us. Our goal with the safari is to find the clearest sky and the best places to see and photograph the Northern Lights. The weather forecast in combination with our in-depth knowledge of the terrain in the area gives us important information for which direction we are going to drive. To ensure that you feel comfortable during the trip, you can borrow warm winter suits, winter boots, hats, and mittens from us.

Our local and experienced guides will explain the history and science behind the Northern Lights, and they will provide camera assistance. They also take portraits of you, and the best photos will be sent to your email address. The duration of the safari can vary depending on how early the Northern Lights appear in the evening, but also how far we must drive. We always do our utmost to ensure that you see the Northern Lights in all their glory, one of the most unique things we have here in the Arctic area.
