So we went in the opposite direction and saw lots of magnificent Northern Lights! What's more, the Fika was delicious! Thank you for everything.”

6.National Park Northern Lights Photo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 86 reviews · 4 hours · from $176

Photo-focused northern lights chase in Abisko National Park with a DSLR, guide, and three hunting styles: on foot, 4x4, and sleigh.

“Miquel and Fabian were amazing at instructing us how to use the DSLR cameras to get the best pictures. It was quite foggy and looking a bit disappointing in the beginning. We trusted Miquel's judgement and we were not sent back empty handed. The display of lights was grand and appearing in all kinds of shapes. We could even see a corona appearing twice. We concluded the night with a fika (warm lingonberry juice and gingerbread cookies). Overall, it was a night I would reminisce about for ages to come.”

Private sunset kayaking in Stockholm archipelago nature reserve with pickup, full gear, and a quiet fika picnic on sheltered islands.

“It was so nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Stockholm and enjoy an evening of fika and kayaking. Alexandra was an excellent guide who was patient with all of the steps to get the three of us out on the water. It was a peaceful experience as we were practically the only ones on the water, very secluded. We greatly appreciated her picking us up at our hotel as it takes about 40 minutes to get to the kayaking location. We felt that we made a friend and the experience made us feel more like locals rather than part of a flashy tour group. The set-up…”

A guided 6-hour trip from Kiruna to Abisko National Park for canyon views, Silverfallet, and a warm lunch with northern flavors.

“Llegar en camioneta al PN Abisko ya es lindo. Paramos en el camino para vistas de importancia cultural, el portal de Laponia, o paisajística. Nuestra guia, Aurelie, muy amable y simpática, nos acompañó en una fantástica caminata junto a un río de glaciar caudaloso con formaciones rocosas muy interesantes por su regularidad. Casacada, puente peatonal, aves y flora de montaña que ella señalaba y comentaba. Luego un centro de interpretación del PN Abisko, pequeño pero muy completo y terminamos con un fueguito y picnic caliente junto al lago. De ensueño. Nos tocó un dia radiante de sol. Excelente excursión para conocer los paisajes de Lappland.”
