Intimate Nordic wilderness experiences far from crowds
Set in the pristine Arctic wilderness of Swedish Lapland, this Northern Lights journey is designed for travellers seeking both natural spectacle and quiet immersion in the far north. Based in Kiruna — one of the best aurora-viewing locations in Europe — the experience combines dramatic Arctic landscapes with refined Nordic hospitality. Days can be spent exploring frozen lakes, forests and Sámi cultural traditions, while evenings are dedicated to witnessing the magical Northern Lights dancing across the polar sky.
Experience the Arctic during the Northern Lights season, when dark skies and minimal light pollution create ideal conditions to view the Aurora Borealis. Snow-covered landscapes, frozen lakes, and crisp air set the scene for guided night excursions, Sámi cultural encounters, and peaceful wilderness experiences in Swedish Lapland.
Arrive in Kiruna in the heart of Swedish Lapland. Settle into your Arctic lodge and enjoy an introduction to the region. In the evening, head out for your first Northern Lights experience under the dark polar skies.
Spend the day exploring the vast landscapes surrounding Kiruna — frozen lakes, boreal forests and sweeping tundra. Optional winter activities may include snowshoeing or visiting Sámi cultural sites. After dinner, venture out again in search of the dancing Aurora Borealis.
Discover the traditions of the indigenous Sámi people, learning about their connection to reindeer herding and Arctic life. Later, enjoy another guided Northern Lights excursion away from light pollution for optimal aurora viewing.
Choose from a range of Arctic experiences such as dogsledding through snowy forests, snowmobiling across frozen landscapes or exploring the wilderness on a guided winter hike. The evening offers another opportunity to witness the spectacular Northern Lights.
After breakfast, depart from Kiruna, concluding your Northern Lights journey in Swedish Lapland.

“Thanks so much for suggesting and organising our day trip to ishfjord radio The boat and crew were fab. The tour around a glacier was amazing. Then lunch at ishfjord radio was another adventure. On the way back we used the time to spot wildlife and saw a walrus and countless birds. Both the guides were amazing”
