How to choose

Both tours are run by Finnmark Adventure out of Alta and cover the same Kviby area by ATV, with a physical level rated "Occasionally sporty" for each. The 3 € price gap between the two (177 € vs 180 €) is negligible. The real decision is what you're chasing. Pick the Northern Lights excursion (5h, 177 €) if you want maximum time on the trail and the chance to hunt the aurora across the Finnmark plateau. Pick the WW2 Discovery excursion (4h, 180 €) if you want a historically grounded ride through landscapes that still carry traces of the wartime occupation. Both are guided in Norwegian and English.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need prior ATV experience to join these tours?
No prior experience is required. Both tours are rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning the terrain asks for some physical engagement but the rides are accessible to first-timers. Your guide from Finnmark Adventure will brief you before departure.
What's the most intense part of an ATV ride around Kviby?
Navigating uneven Arctic terrain in low-light or winter conditions is where the adrenaline peaks. The Northern Lights tour adds a nocturnal element that sharpens every sense, since you're riding in near-darkness across open Finnmark tundra.
Is it realistic to see the Northern Lights on the 5-hour tour?
The aurora is never guaranteed, as it depends on solar activity and cloud cover. Alta sits at 70° north latitude, which puts it in the heart of the auroral zone, giving you statistically strong odds on clear nights.
Where do both tours depart from?
The Northern Lights ATV tour picks up at the Scandic Hotel or the Alta Cruise port. The WW2 Discovery tour departs from your accommodations or the harbour in Alta or Kviby. Confirm your exact pickup point when booking.
Which tour gives more time on the ATV?
The Northern Lights excursion runs 5 hours versus 4 hours for the WW2 Discovery ride, and costs 3 € less. If seat time and aurora hunting are your priorities, the longer tour wins on both counts.
