The 12 Best Northern Lights Tours in Sweden

12 reviewed

Nobody can promise you the aurora, but Abisko’s rain shadow gives you the best odds in the country and a good guide gives you the rest. These 12 tours are the ones to book: how each chases the sky, whether a photographer comes along, what is provided for warmth and food, and what a clear night costs.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 514 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $183

Aurora photo hunt in Abisko: small-group pickup, DSLR and tripod setup, warm drinks, and three ways to chase the lights.

“It was cloudy which of course they have nothing to do with weather. However, when it’s that bad, they should give you the option to reschedule or give your money back. I got much better pictures for free staying at my Airbnb. When the winner is blowing that hard and you just see a couple of muted greens I think they should say you can come back the next night or two since this was a bust. The staff were very friendly, which is why I rated it a four star, but I would never do this again. I took much better pictures on my iPhone. You do not have…”

“Everything about the evening was fantastic. Robin was the perfect guide, encouraging us take in the quiet environment of the birch forest in the dark as we walked. Robin pointed out recent and older animal tracks in the snow and gave us information about the trees and local area. It was very magical and ethereal, like the world of Narnia in the snow, and the night sky was so clear and full of stars which were very visible away from the lights of Abisko. We went to a couple of frozen lakes as well and were extremely lucky to see the Northern lights coming and going throughout the hike. We…”
