Sweden · NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
Latitude and cloud decide a northern lights night, and the tour decides how well you handle both. These 15 run out of Kiruna, Abisko and Luleå from late September to March: chase vehicles, camera help, warm suits and how far each is willing to drive to find a clear sky.

Review of Kiruna’s 5-hour Northern Lights tour with photographer, campfire, hot drinks, snowsuits, hotel pickup, and aurora photos.
“Amazing - highly recommended! It worths 100%! We like our guide Onur a lot! They were very professional and enthusiastic about their jobs. Despite having an unlucky weather day, they drove us to places without clouds so that we can see. And we did!!! Although app says the tour is for 3 hours, we spent 5 hours to be able to see better. They really prioritise your happiness and keep going until you are content. They maximised their efforts for us to see the lights on a low chance day. Much appreciated! Also they took many photos. Our photos look amazing, thank you Lights of Vikings Team!!! We will come…”

Review of Kiruna’s Aurora Wayfinding tour, with Arctic road travel, local stories, fika, warm bus access, and practical booking advice.
“We took the tour on January 9, and it was spectacular. Our guide, Sofie (apologies if I have misspelled her name), was amazing, as was the driver (unfortunately, I do not recall his name). They picked us up right on time and drove toward Abisko. Throughout the journey, Sofie continuously checked the Northern Lights updates and kept us well-informed. She also shared many interesting stories along the way, which made the drive very enjoyable. When we arrived at the viewing location near a lake, the experience was beyond words. The Northern Lights were dancing all around us, filling the sky. Sofie provided clear instructions on how to handle the extreme…”

All the guides are super nice there! We had a wonderful guide Rebecca, she was very friendly and answered all our questions:) Warm shoes, gloves and bodysuits are provided but it’s still a great idea to have layers of warm clothes underneath because it’s very cold out there.”

Review of Kiruna's Aurora Borealis Tour with Stejk Street Food, including dinner, warm clothing, pickup details, value, and practical tips.
“The food was lovely, and our local guide Per was really friendly and informative. He tried his best to find somewhere for us to see the lights, going to various places in the region, but unfortunately it was just too cloudy that night. Despite that it was still a good experience. We also had a City Tour with Zebastian which was the highlight of our holiday. Coming from Kiruna, he was able to answer any questions we had. Kiruna's history is absolutely fascinating, even to those who, like me, have little interest in history. I would recommend the tour to anyone.”
