Join Lights Over Lapland for a four-hour aurora hunt from Abisko or Björkliden. Guides such as Fabian, Michelle, Anna, Gavin, Félix, and Romy help you use a supplied DSLR and tripod. Depending on conditions, you may travel by 4x4 van, snowmobile sleigh, or on foot to a nearby teepee or wilderness camp.

“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…”

One can’t plan for the Aurora to appear but the planned walks under the night sky and the amazing views at night of the different location choices were awesome. Our guides knowledge of the Aurora, the Sami people and the cultures of the northern people was excellent. This tour is highly recommended. Would we do it again - most definitely!”

“Jacob was an exceptional guide for us! Friendly, funny, open-minded, he shared some interesting stories and facts. Also, he was very helpful in getting good images with Aurora. Despite unstable forecasts, we were lucky to see really good Northern Lights! Jacob took us to several places where it was visible enough. In addition to that, I really appreciated how caring he was when we said we were frozen: Jacob helped with socks and gave us some warm drinks. Small advice to those hesitant about the tour: even if you don’t see Aurora, you will definitely have a great time, so don’t hesitate and book the tour! Also, don’t mind the…”

“The tour was great, we saw a lot of the Northern Lights and our guides were so great! They stopped a few extra times for us because the lights were so strong, and they were generally just very accommodating. I brought my children along and my smaller ones couldn’t handle the cold, so the guides helped us get them and my husband back to our hotel while also helping my oldest son and me rejoin the tour so he wouldn’t miss the lights, and they did all of this without holding up everyone else on the tour AND they were super nice and kind about it all. And when the…”
