★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 48 reviews · 4 hours · from $391Top rated

Drive your own husky sled across Finnmarksvidda from Alta, warm up at Gargia Lodge, and watch for the Northern Lights on a small-group tour.

“The activity was absolutely amazing. Although the lights weren’t out for us that night I would do this 100x over. The guide Adam was amazing and the driver Enrico for transfer too. The dogs were friendly and both sitting and driving were thoroughly enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend this more. I (22) went with my grandad (70) and my mum (50) and all three of us had the best time.”
