PRICE: $154
per person

 

Begin your evening with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Kiruna. Meet your local guide, fluent in Swedish, English, and Russian, and receive a short introduction to the Northern Lights, including how aurora forecasts, cloud movement, and solar activity are interpreted.

Throughout the tour, guests are actively involved in the decision-making process as the guide continuously monitors weather conditions and adapts the route to reach clear skies away from artificial light pollution. As you travel through the Arctic landscape, your guide shares local perspectives, regional history, and stories connected to the Northern Lights.

The journey may take you past frozen lakes and remote wilderness areas, offering a chance to experience the Arctic environment far from city lights. One of the areas the route may pass near is Torneträsk, one of the largest lakes in northern Sweden, depending on weather and viewing conditions.

At a carefully selected viewing location, enjoy warm drinks and local snacks while learning how to photograph the aurora using a camera or smartphone. The guide provides hands-on assistance, and professional photos are taken during the experience and shared afterward at no additional cost.

Group sizes are intentionally kept very small to create a calm, flexible atmosphere and allow for individual attention. If conditions change during the night, the group may relocate to a secondary location to maximize visibility.
