Join us for a Northern Lights chase from Kiruna and experience the Arctic night away from the city lights.
We’ll pick you up from your hotel or accommodation in Kiruna and travel to the area offering the best conditions that evening. The route is flexible and may change depending on cloud cover, local weather and road conditions.
At the viewing location, enjoy a warm lingonberry drink and light snacks while waiting beneath the night sky. Your guide can help with basic phone or camera settings and may take simple photos when possible.
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. If conditions change during the evening, we may move to another area in search of clearer skies.
Your exact pickup time and pickup details will be confirmed before the tour.

Please note
This experience depends on weather conditions and solar activity. While we do our best to maximize the chances of seeing the Northern Lights by actively searching for clear skies, sightings can never be guaranteed as it is a natural phenomenon.
The tour takes place outdoors in Arctic conditions, with temperatures that can drop well below freezing. Guests must be prepared for cold weather and wear appropriate winter clothing, including warm jackets, insulated pants, hats, gloves, and winter boots. Winter clothing is not provided.
The experience involves short walks and standing outside while observing the sky, but no strenuous physical activity. The tour is suitable for most travelers with a normal level of mobility.
The duration of the tour may vary depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. Free photos from the tour are included and will be shared after the experience.
