Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Camp Ripan
Upon arrival into Kiruna you will be transferred to your accommodation at Camp Ripan. After a day of travelling, we recommend taking some time out and relaxing. Get used to your new surroundings and then spend the early evening in the Aurora Spa – a perfect way to relax and unwind before an exciting and adventurous couple of days. Enjoy a delicious two-course dinner.
Day 2
Icehotel Visit
This morning you will visit the famous Icehotel. As you are staying in the same area as this incredible hotel sculpted from local ice, it makes sense to take the opportunity to pay it a visit without having to spend the night in there! Enjoy an early dinner before heading out on a Northern Lights snowmobiling excursion. Experience Kiruna at night, go in search of the aurora, and enjoy the adventure of driving a snowmobile.
Day 3
Husky Sledding Adventure
Make sure you have a big breakfast to get plenty of energy for your exciting husky adventure. This is the perfect opportunity to escape into the wilderness outside of Kiruna and learn the art of mushing. Then in the evening get ready for an aurora photography excursion, giving you the opportunity to learn about how to capture the aurora on camera, and then go out hunting for them.
Day 4
Return Home
After breakfast you will get your transfer back to the airport, however, as you are already in Swedish Lapland there are plenty of other opportunities to combine this trip with another location. Perhaps a stay at the Icehotel, or add a couple of nights at the fantastic Mattarahkka Lodge. Jump on the train and head to Lulea, or north to Tromso in Norway, you really are spoilt for choice so be sure to speak to one of the team if you want to extend your stay and see what options are available to you.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!

My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.

Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
