Highlights
  • STF Abisko Turiststation - Join one of our professional aurora guides for an opportunity to see and photograph the aurora borealis in one of our lovely locations in and around Abisko National Park! Due to a tendency for clear skies, Abisko is one of the greatest places in the world to see the northern lights. We will provide you with a DSLR camera & lens that is preset to capture the northern lights and quickly go over the basic skills that you will need to find and photograph the magical aurora borealis. Our Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure offers you THREE different ways to see the northern lights: depending upon the weather and aurora forecast we will hunt for the lights on foot at a nearby teepee, chase the lights in a modern 4×4 van, or ride on a cozy sleigh which is pulled behind a snowmobile to one of our wilderness camps. This evening under the stars offers you a fantastic opportunity to learn about the culture & natural history of Lapland and gives you a chance to experience beauty that can only be found in Abisko National Park. Small groups of 8 guests guarantee a very personal and genuine experience and ensure a safe and comfortable trip into the Arctic environment.

A once in a lifetime experience for a once in a lifetime request - With a successful proposal under the northern lights, on top of an ice lake and in the middle of the mountains, I can only say that having Sara as our aurora tour guide was nothing short of phenomenal! Having taken the private aurora tour, with both photography and proposal/romance packages, I have to emphasise that on top of the great quality of the service, Sara elevated the entire experience to a whole new level. From the moment we met her, her passion and expertise about the Northern Lights were evident. She was incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with fascinating insights about the auroras, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Her professionalism and warm, friendly demeanor made the tour even more enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, taking us to the perfect spots for viewing this unique event, help us capture stunning photographs of it, and help me set up the big question. We couldn't have asked for a better guide—she made our aurora adventure and proposal truly unforgettable!

An unforgettable and perfectly organised trip - This unforgettable holiday exceeded our (already high) expectations. We cannot recommend Lights Over Lapland highly enough. Claudio was a wonderful guide: thoughtful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The aurora viewings were spectacular - we feel very lucky in having had 2 evenings with great conditions - but we also loved the driving tours and walks around Abisko (including the national park and short walks from the house, either to the lake or up towards the mountains, with stunning 360 degree views). The house was cosy and well-equipped, and the food supplies were great. The whole trip was extremely well organised with the perfect balance of free time and led activities.

An unforgettable night under the Aurora - We had an incredible time on the Abisko Aurora Chase tour! Our guide, Joey, and driver, Matts, were fantastic. They made sure we were picked up on time and went the extra mile to find the perfect spots for us to see the Northern Lights. Although the lights were initially faint, Joey's passion for finding the best locations never wavered. They even extended the tour by 30 minutes to take us to a spot with clear skies, where the auroras finally appeared, dancing before our eyes. While we snapped photos, Matts set up a campfire and treated us to a delicious drink. Joey also helped those without cameras capture the moment. We're so grateful they went above and beyond, making our first night in Abisko unforgettable. If you're in Abisko and want to see the Northern Lights, we highly recommend this tour!

Unforgettable ghostbusters! - The experience more than met our expectations in every way. The hotel chosen, the proposed excursions, the companions, the surroundings... but what we would highlight most (the cherry on the cake) was our guide Miquel Such with whom we were lucky enough to share the most "stellar" moments (and never better said) of this fantastic adventure. A 10 for him for his effort, kindness, sympathy, great knowledge and respect for the country's culture. Also thank Cecilia for our beautiful snowshoe walk and the Belgian guide with whom we toured those fantastic places on a husky between explanations and laughter.

Great tour and really nice guide and driver - Great tour and reasonable price. Joey and Matts were really friendly. We saw a little bit the northern lights with our eyes and more on photos. Joey and Matts helped us settle our phones to take pictures and answered all our questions. They took us in two places to see the northern lights. Joey even took us in photo under the aurora and sent us the pictures the next morning. Thank you ! I recommand this tour.

My Dream Come True. 100/100 AMAZING!! - I would like to describe one of a kind, someone really special I met in this tour, JOEY! Eventually, Joey originally from Malaysia while i’m from Indonesia, which we have similarity in language. Joey was so attentive since the first time we talked and shared with me all of knowledge about the northern lights and brought us for to some places to show us the aurora dancing in the most beautiful sky I've ever seen in my life.. and we got the SOLAR MAXIMUM, in a red colours of aurora. Thanks Joey, I had the most amazing night of my life seeing the aurora. One of my dream wish since i was kid.

The Blue Hole - Our guide was Miquel and from the beginning to the end of the activity he was very kind, friendly, interactive and explained many things to us in a very didactic and easy to understand way. Very helpful. And we are very grateful for the experience!

A fantastic experience with a fantastic guide! - It was a fantastic experience! Even though the conditions were not perfect, our guide, Miquel, did his best to find the place with the most options to see the northern lights and helped us with all technical issues with the camera. While we waited, we were inside a tent, around the fire, and with a cup of hot tea. I would really recommend it! Thank you very much, Miquel!
