The tour was great! We were lucky enough to have found a no-moon, no-clouds day, and at these latitudes that's basically all you need. Our guide Stephen took us to 4 different spots, away from the city lights and based on the cloud coverage prediction. in all 4 spots we were able to see the northern lights, brightening up the sky and dancing above our heads. Fundamental were also the warm clothes and boots that were provided to us, which made sure we could stay outside as much as we wanted in each stop without freezing. The transport was comfortable, the drive felt safe in every part, and Stephen delighted us throughout the trip with stories and facts about alta and the Finnmark region. Overall a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend!

So much to like! Rose from Adventyr, who transported us, was friendly, knowledgable and great at her job! We thoroughly enjoyed her company. Linda, at Gargia Lodge was fantastic. She suited us up and then instructed us beautifully. Once outside, she watched over everyone with care. Along with Adam, she ensured that we got the best out of our experience, as we drove our dogs through the beautiful countryside. They obviously love their dogs and their jobs! Thank you for enabling a true highlight of our trip to Norway!!

4hr Dog Sledding Trip on FinnmarksviddaReviewed byAlan,04/03/2025

It's been a great experience, with a very nice and knowledgeable guide, who explained a lot about the Sami culture and the life of the reindeers. Feeding them was the highlight, but I left from there with some more knowledge about a culture which I did not know much about before. Highly recommend!
