look for the northern lights in Abisko

Travel to Abisko while checking the forecast

You depart from Kiruna, with hotel pickup if you select that option or from the designated location, and travel comfortably by minibus or coach depending on group size. Along the way you pass frozen lakes, Arctic forest, and mountain scenery.

Your guide talks about life above the Arctic Circle, the local environment, and the science behind the aurora. The route is adjusted to improve your chances of seeing the northern lights, so every tour is a little different.

Wait for the aurora far from artificial light

To keep you warm all evening, warm overalls, winter boots, gloves, a balaclava, and a warm hat are provided. You can also enjoy warm drinks and light snacks during the tour.

Capture professional photos and return to Kiruna
