Combine the excitement of driving a snowmobile through the Arctic evening whilst searching for the allusive Northern Lights. The guide will lead you through the wilderness of the Alta River valley up onto the inland plateau where the absence of any background light maximises you chance of viewing the Borealis. Your guide will provide you with your thermal suit, boots, gloves, and helmet as well as instructing you in the safe operation of your snowmobile. The guide will also be able to assist you with achieving the best photos of the borealis.
