Experience the Northern Lights the way professionals do on this small-group Aurora Chase from Kiruna, led by an expert guide and professional photographer. Rather than following a fixed route, this tour is fully adaptive—chasing clear skies wherever conditions are best on the night. Depending on weather and cloud cover, the journey may take you toward Abisko, deep into Kiruna’s boreal forests, or far beyond the city to maximize viewing potential.
Operated by Lights of Vikings, the experience is known for its high success rate and willingness to drive long distances if necessary, one of the most critical factors in seeing the Aurora Borealis. Once a clear sky is found, you’ll spend unhurried time admiring the lights, listening to stories of Viking mythology and Arctic folklore, and enjoying warm drinks beside a crackling campfire. Throughout the night, your guide captures professional photographs of you under the aurora, creating lasting memories of this extraordinary Arctic encounter.
