About us
Family roots, Arctic soul.
- 5+Years operating
- AltaHome base
- SámiHeritage & roots
Luuso Travel AS is a family-run transport company based in Alta, Northern Norway — where the mountains meet the Arctic sky and the northern lights dance above the fjords for months every winter.
Our roots run deep into the Sámi culture of the High North. For over five years we have been offering guests from around the world an authentic Arctic experience — not just a transfer, but a journey with people who belong here and know every road, every viewpoint, and every weather pattern that makes the North special.
Our signature experience, Tour Aurora, takes small groups out into the wilderness in search of the northern lights. We keep groups intimate, provide thermal suits, hot drinks and snacks, and have a passion for aurora photography — so every guest has the best possible chance of capturing that life-changing moment.
Beyond tourism, we are a trusted transport partner for businesses, cruise lines, and tour operators across Northern Norway — bringing the same care, reliability, and local knowledge to every kilometre we drive.
