What you can expect

  • Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, the harbour or the Tourist Information Centre. Sit back and enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive through the Arctic landscape as we leave Alta behind and head towards the small and peaceful village of Kviby.

    Here, your Arctic adventure truly begins.

    On arrival, you will be provided with warm clothing, gloves and a helmet before your experienced guide gives you a thorough safety briefing and explains everything you need to know about operating your quad bike. No previous quad bike experience is required – your guide will make sure you feel comfortable and confident before setting off.

    Then it's time to ride.

    In small groups, follow your guide along the dramatic Arctic coastline, surrounded by mountains, wilderness and the dark northern sky. Kviby is located in an area known for excellent Northern Lights conditions, far from the bright lights of the city.

    And then… look up.

    On a clear night, you may see the first green glow appear above the horizon. As the Northern Lights begin to dance across the sky, you will find yourself riding through a landscape that feels almost untouched – with the Arctic wilderness stretching endlessly around you.

    There is something truly special about experiencing the Northern Lights from an quad bike. You are not standing behind a window or watching from a crowded viewpoint. You are out in the Arctic, surrounded by silence, nature and the open sky.

    Your guides are professional, English-speaking and deeply passionate about Northern Norway. They know the landscape, the weather and the best places to look for the lights. They are also great storytellers and will share stories about Arctic nature, local life and the culture of the far north along the way.

    The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed. But our guides will always go the extra mile, carefully watching the weather and cloud conditions and choosing the best possible route for the night.

    When the adventure comes to an end, we return safely to your pickup location.

    Warm, exhilarated and hopefully with unforgettable memories – and perhaps a few spectacular photographs of you riding beneath the Arctic sky.

    This is more than an quad bike tour.

    It is your chance to ride into the Arctic night and search for the Northern Lights.
