Itinerary
Day1
    Day 1 - Welcome to Sweden!
  • Sweden - Kiruna
  • Welcome to Kiruna! Nestling some 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Kiruna is a gem of a city that forms part of Swedish Lapland – an enormous area covering about a quarter of Sweden. Kiruna also has cultural and historical significance as part of Sápmi – the traditional home of the indigenous Sámi people – that extends beyond the national border.

    An outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination, Kiruna is surrounded by varied and vast terrain – from deep forests and expansive marshes to lakes, rivers and mountains – including Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain. These landscapes are ideal for activities such as hiking, fly fishing, skiing, snowshoe walking and dog sledding.

    Kiruna is fascinating from an urban perspective. This historic mining community – first established in 1900 – is undergoing a transformation due to the impact that the mining has on the area. For the mining to be able to continue, the physical lifting and shifting of buildings – and the occasional demolishing and erecting of others – is well underway.

    Due to the city transformation, Kiruna Church will be moved in one piece in 2025 to a new location between the cemetery and the new city centre. The church will be closed from the summer of 2024 until the opening at the new location at the end of 2026.

    Kiruna’s city centre stood ready in its new position on 1 September 2022, and Kiruna City Hall – a completely new building known as “the crystal” – was the first landmark to appear. The rest of the move is due to be completed by 2035.

    There’s plenty to discover in this compelling city of transformation and if a roadtrip in Kiruna is on the agenda, you won’t have to venture far before reaching gems such as the Icehotel, Kebnekaise and Abisko – all located within the municipality.

  • Aurora Tour in Kiruna - Lapland with Stejk Street Food Start up your Aurora Borealis night tour at the famous Stejk Street Foods food truck & Tipi in Kiruna. Your night tour includes local street food dinner in the cozy Tipi while the guide will make the latest weather and Aurora Borealis prognosis which give you the best chance to see the Aurora during the night. After dinner the group will follow the guide in a car or van driving through the night that will give you the best opportunity to see many different locations in a big area. This will increase the chance to experience The Aurora Borealis.

Day2
    Day 2 - Chasing the Aurora once more!
  • Breakfast
  • 7:00 PM
  • The Longest Northern Lights Tour in Kiruna We will pick you up from your hotel in Kiruna and start to chase the Northern Lights. Where we go to see the lights will depend on weather conditions, we can drive to Abisko or Kiruna boreal forests, always far from city light pollution. Our experienced guides track the weather all day before the tour to decide where the best place to drive is the night of your tour. We don’t limit ourselves by distance, so we can drive wherever is needed to find clear sky.

    The guides specialize in finding clear sky, and if the Kiruna area is cloudy, we will drive however long we need to get the best opportunity of seeing the lights. Kiruna is located in the heart of Swedish Lapland, where our guides will teach you about this natural area, and show you the most important facts to understand this unique region. As we are driving, we will tell you the stories about Lapland and its inhabitants, the Sami people, Abisko and Kiruna, and the science behind the Northern Lights.

    Swedish Lapland is full of ancient traditions and culture, Lapland is the land of the Sami people, last indigenous people of Europe who call the area Sápmi. It is also the home of unique animals like reindeer, moose, fox, Arctic hares and Arctic owls. Our guides will give you some tricks to spot them in the nearby natural areas and reserves! Close to Kiruna is Abisko, on the shores of the glacier lake Tornetrask. Abisko is famous for its microclimate and cloud free nights that give us more chances to see aurora. The Kiruna region is one of the largest producers of iron ore in the world since the 19th century.

    When we arrive at our viewing destination, we will make a roaring campfire, and enjoy traditional Swedish cookies, chocolates and warm drinks while we admire the Northern Lights.

    Our photographers and guides have been guiding in this region and taking pictures of the Aurora for more than 3 years. They will take you to the best locations and help you get the best pictures of the spectacular Northern Lights.

    The professional photographer on your trip will take pictures of you and the Aurora in the sky with their professional camera which is optimized for night photography and the Aurora. If you have brought your own camera, they will help you set it up and guide you to get the best shots. The professional photos from your trip will be available 3 days after the tour. We will send them to you at no cost so that you have a beautiful memento and photos to show your friends and family at home.

    After we have enjoyed the campfire, watched the Northern Lights dance in the sky, and learned the stories and myths that surround this natural phenomenon, we will head home to Kiruna. [English Guide]
