Northern Lights in Swedish Lapland: The 15 Best Tours

21 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $59

Kiruna and Abisko sit in the driest, clearest slice of Arctic Sweden, which is why the aurora business lives there rather than on the coast. The 15 below cover chase vans, photography nights and the trips that add a sled or a snowmobile, with what each costs and how long you stand outside.

The Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure

2.The Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 514 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $183

Photograph the Northern Lights in Abisko with a DSLR, tripod, warm gear, hot drinks, and a small-group guide for $183.07.

“The tour was fine but not as they sell it. It was not a small group of 8, we where 15 people. There was not hot drink and snacks all the night but just at the end for 10/15 minutes. We went to a spot right behind the STF touristation hostel, so it was the same as going out of the hostel alone. The guides were nice and they helped us to set the cameras. But if you are in the hostel with a camera, I'll not recomend this activity.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 333 reviews · 5 hours · from $187

Review of Kiruna’s five-hour Northern Lights tour with a photographer, campfire, hot drinks, snowsuits, hotel pickup, and aurora photos.

“We joined the New Years eve trip to find the northern lights. Despite difficult weather conditions (it was -34 and lots of clouds cover) our team drove us all the way to Finland to find the lights! Anyur was our driver (sorry for the bad spelling) and Iris was our photographer. They will do everything to give you the best chance of seeing the lights including staying out until 2am to see the strongest lights. They kept us warm in the vans and with the snowsuits and were very knowledgeable about the lights and the area. A great tour and we really recommend using these guys.”

Snowshoe through Abisko’s silent birch forest, track arctic wildlife, sip berry juice, and search for Northern Lights under clear winter skies.

“Everything about the evening was fantastic. Robin was the perfect guide, encouraging us take in the quiet environment of the birch forest in the dark as we walked. Robin pointed out recent and older animal tracks in the snow and gave us information about the trees and local area. It was very magical and ethereal, like the world of Narnia in the snow, and the night sky was so clear and full of stars which were very visible away from the lights of Abisko. We went to a couple of frozen lakes as well and were extremely lucky to see the Northern lights coming and going throughout the hike. We…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 28 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $192

Review of Kiruna’s 4-hour Northern Lights tour, with wilderness chasing, warm drinks, local guides, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the northern lights. We weren’t able to see any but had some lovely snacks. The biggest issue was that the minibus didn’t seem to have working heat so we were very cold. The gears also seemed a bit touchy as we almost went into a snow bank. Aside from that we enjoyed the tour.”
