Highlights
This van tour picks you up from your accommodation in Abisko, northern Sweden, and heads out to find the best place to see the aurora that night. Travel in a small group of up to 8 guests per vehicle in a large, comfortable premium van. On clear nights you go to the most scenic spots near Abisko, and on cloudy nights you chase clear skies, getting away from light pollution. Your guide, who is also a photographer, helps you capture the northern lights with your camera or phone.
Program
Get picked up in Abisko
and set off to find the aurora
The tour departs from Abisko Guesthouse / Experience Abisko and then picks up guests at Abisko Mountain Lodge and STF Abisko Turiststation. Pickups at the Mountain Lodge and STF usually take place 5 to 10 minutes after the tour starts. Up to 8 guests per vehicle travel in a large, comfortable premium van, and the tour is guided in English.
Chase clear skies depending on the weather
Where you go depends mainly on the weather that night. If the sky is clear, you head to the most scenic places near Abisko; if it is cloudy, you drive to wherever the skies are clear. An experienced guide from a team of professional aurora chasers uses both local knowledge and the latest technology to choose the location. Tour length can vary considerably depending on how far you need to drive to find clear skies.
Wait for the aurora in a warm van
The vehicle has a heating system that keeps it warm even while parked, and headlights are kept off when stopped to reduce light pollution. Hot drinks are served while you wait.
Photograph the aurora with your guide's help
Your guide is an experienced photographer and can help you photograph the northern lights if you have a camera or phone capable of capturing them. At the end of the tour, you are driven back to your accommodation.
※ The aurora is a natural phenomenon, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Tour length and locations may vary depending on the weather and driving distance.
