From Boden: Arctic Circle Northern Lights Tour

From Boden: Arctic Circle Northern Lights Tour

My name is Alice, and this is my Wonderland. There is no one who knows awe and adventure better than me. Raised amidst the Swedish outdoors, I have been traveling full-time and staying on the road for 15 years. So what's in store for you on this special tour? And so the adventure begins... We begin our afternoon with a drive away from the city's glow, dramatically increasing your chances of witnessing the mesmerizing dance of the Aurora Borealis. We'll pass through tiny Swedish villages and tranquil countryside—you might even spot some curious creatures along the way! ❄️ The Arctic Circle Our first stop is the magical Arctic Circle sign at dusk, capturing that very special memory. You'll have all the time you need to take as many photos as you wish. Forest Hike Next, we embark on a gentle forest hike where we'll carve our own path in the snow—a path no one else will tread again! Feel the crisp, invigorating air. As we wander, you might spot elks, majestic reindeer, or even the elusive polar hare. You'll also discover why the most Swedish thing of all allows us to venture off the marked paths, even in protected areas. But that's a secret we'll share when we get there. By now, darkness has fallen, and your headlamp casts a gentle glow, illuminating a path where the glistening snow transforms the landscape into a mystical realm of shifting shapes and sparkling crystals. Your personal guide ensures the trail suits your abilities, providing all the essentials to make your journey safe and comfortable. The Fire Soon, we reach the perfect spot with unobstructed views of the starlit sky, and I'll kindle a warm fire. Settle in and savor steaming hot coffee (boiled three times, as tradition dictates!) with local milk or Lappish cheese, accompanied by a smorgasbord of traditional Swedish baked goods. For those wishing to reconnect with their inner child, I'll prepare a Swedish take on s'mores and a Lappish version of snow cones (only in the winter). It's always time for a little unbirthday treat! Relax on our comfortable blankets and reindeer hides (vegan options available) as you listen to the soothing crackle of the flames and await the Aurora's enchanting show. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the Northern Lights, explain the meanings behind their vibrant colors, and offer tips on how to capture them on camera. We will wrap up the evening around 11 PM and head back to your drop-off location. The journey home will take about 60 minutes. Pick-up and Drop-off We can meet at the pick-up place in Boden at 7:00 PM, or your guide can pick you up in Luleå, Älvsbyn, Vidsel, Storforsen, and other locations—just message us!
