NLT Guide Company

We have many years of experience with guided tours for visitors who want to see Northern Lights.

To experience the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), the main thing we are searching for is clear skies well away from the bright lights of the city. Sometimes we drive out to the coast, sometimes inland and other times past three fjords up to the Finnish border.

Norwegian Wild

We believe that nature is a place for great experiences. We was founded on that single truth.

Through our activities and adventures we’ve brought this to life. Hege , the founder, inspired by her own experiences in the outdoors, sought to merge adventure and transformative experiences with social responsibility and giving back. Nature, the sea, our community and our spirit of adventure is what defines Norwegian Wild.
