Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime aurora chasing expedition, which will allow you to use our experience and mobility to go to where the aurora activity is the highest, and where there weather gives us a good chance of success! Book your adventure today! Many of the locations are on lakes and rivers which allow you to see the auroras in the sky AND reflecting in the open water during the Autumn and reflecting in the polished ice during the Winter. Our team of professionals has access to more spectacular locations than any other operator in Abisko. During your adventure we usually visit at least one of the following locations: The scenic shoreline of Lake Torneträsk with stunning views in every direction! A calm bay at the northwest end of Lake Torneträsk with incredible Arctic views and a cozy fire pit. A spectacular location with panoramic views on the top of Bear Mountain near the border of Sweden and Norway. An amazing aurora outlook in the mountains surrounding Björkliden. A remote fishing village near the mouth of the Torne River which flows out of Lake Torneträsk. AND MUCH MORE!! Warm clothing is NOT included in this tour. It is important that you bring warm clothes to wear and warm insulated winter boots. Warm overalls and heavy duty arctic boots are available to rent for an extra charge. Minimum age: 5 years old (we will not be able to provide any child seats in the vehicle). Please note that during the peak season we may use a vehicle with a maximum of 30 seats. Camera gear is not included, but it can be added for an additional fee. Your guide has a very basic understanding of aurora photography and will be happy to give you a few pointers along the way! If you are looking for a trip which is focused on helping you capture stunning photographs of the northern lights, we highly recommend our Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure! A slightly different version of this tour is also available during the autumn season October-November. Pick up information: 8:15-8:30 PM (please be in the lobby of your hotel by 8:15 PM)

Booking was easy. We were picked up by bus from the agreed place. The guide Joi was very friendly and constantly checked the cloud situation show and the forecast for the northern lights using various apps. Our first stop was the E10 Torneträsk rest area. Here we walked down to the ice. Unfortunately there were too many clouds. After some time we continued to the E10 rest area Stenbacken. There were also too many clouds here. Drinks were served at a small campfire and you could hold marshmallows in the fire. I thought that was it. But Joi didn't give up checking the situation. At the E10 rest area Bessešjhoka we went on the ice and then we were lucky. Joi took specially illuminated pictures with the participants, which were received afterwards or by email. It was a successful night for us from 8:15 p.m. to around 12:15 a.m.

It was a very nice trip and a super good guide named Joey! Unfortunately we didn’t see the northern light so well but that’s not their fault cuz no one can control Mother Nature. We stopped at beautiful places and had a bonfire with marshmallows and hot lingonberry. I’m super happy for this trip and such a nice guide! :)

It was a bit cloudy allmost till whereever we drove which is not the operator fault so I won't reduce rating for that. We stopped by 3 nice locations at night and if I remember the name correctly Sofia was enthusiastic and kept the motivation high and at the end we had a good fireplace and hot lingumberry juice and some sights of Aurora as well. Skręć clicked a nice picture for us. Thank you
