7.Evening Wildlife Safari Stockholm

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 61 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $165

Leave central Stockholm for a five-hour evening safari in Bornsjöns naturreservat. With a guide such as Tiago or Rasmus, you hike through forest, eat around a fire, use quality binoculars, and search for deer, hares, wild boar, badgers, and possibly moose. Dinner can be adapted to dietary needs.

“Our guide Tiago was awesome. He was so nice and knowledgeable and you could tell that he really enjoyed being outdoors and teaching people about the Swedish forests. We had a nice campfire and hike. Only thing I would say is that the meal was vegan, I think. It was delicious but some might not be as adventurous in their eating. Otherwise, it was a great experience and awesome way to get out of the city and see some nature.”

I could snowmobile all day long. 😄 No fish bit while ice fishing, but we had a happy picnic on the ice. It was really impressive how quickly our guide Rachel got holes in the thick ice! As last time, she was also an excellent guide: always cheerful, helpful and very thoughtful. We finished off with a delicious meal in the very cosy Máttaráhkká Lodge. We will stay here on our next Lapland holiday. The lodge is small, very cosy and the owners are lovely. You can…”

9.Snowmobile Safari to Lapland viewpoint

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $369

From Kiruna, you ride a shared snowmobile beyond the trees to a Lapland viewpoint, stop on a frozen lake for coffee and ice fishing, then return to Máttaráhkká Northern Light Lodge for a two-course lunch by the fire. Arctic clothing, hotel pickup, and English service are included.

“Overall good. The snow mobile experience was very good. The lunch was great. We expected to be a little farther out in Arctic tundra but it was much closer to Kiruna. We were told that we would not see Reindeer about a month before the event without a deeper explanation. The trip was non refundable which became a problem when we accidentally booked it for the wrong date. It became very difficult to reschedule it.”
