Chase the Kiruna aurora with a small group, warm gear, campfire snacks, expert guides, and professional photos included.

“The tour was amazing. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the northern lights and took amazing pictures! The night with them was absolutely perfect. On the way back, they asked if we wanted to stop and look at more northern lights since they were so visible that night, and even went out of their way to drop us off at our hotel which was not a part of the pickup list. 10/10 experience!”

Photograph the Northern Lights in Abisko with a DSLR, tripod, warm gear, hot drinks, and an expert guide in a small Arctic group.

“It was cloudy which of course they have nothing to do with weather. However, when it’s that bad, they should give you the option to reschedule or give your money back. I got much better pictures for free staying at my Airbnb. When the winner is blowing that hard and you just see a couple of muted greens I think they should say you can come back the next night or two since this was a bust. The staff were very friendly, which is why I rated it a four star, but I would never do this again. I took much better pictures on my iPhone. You do not have…”

“Everything about the evening was fantastic. Robin was the perfect guide, encouraging us take in the quiet environment of the birch forest in the dark as we walked. Robin pointed out recent and older animal tracks in the snow and gave us information about the trees and local area.
