Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive in Iso Syote and check in to the Arctic Hilltop Boutique Hotel
After arriving in Rovaniemi pick up your shared transfer to Iso-Syote and check in to the Arctic Hilltop Boutique Hotel. This particular itinerary is based on an Aurora View Suite but there are also the options of some upgrade suites or the stay in the more rustic Kelo Cottages!
Spend the evening relaxing and enjoying your new surroundings – perhaps even spotting the Northern Lights from your balcony, or from the hot tub!
Day 2
Dog Sledding Adventures
This morning you will be transferred to a husky farm where you get to meet some very eager dogs. Here you will be introduced to the team and briefed before embarking on a husky sledge ride.
The safari route is a winter wonderland, winding through snowy forests and skimming across ice-covered lakes that glisten like diamonds under the Arctic sun. Along the way, pit stops offer the chance to switch drivers, ensuring everyone can command these furry speedsters while creating picture-perfect moments amidst this breathtaking landscape. Don’t forget your camera – those huskies and the stunning surroundings practically beg to be captured in all their snowy glory!
Then an evening snowmobile safari brings in a unique thrill as you speed through snowy forests and across the fells under the twinkling stars. Pausing along the way, you’re treated to star-gazing moments and keeping a keen eye out for the Northern Lights. A cosy coffee break awaits by a crackling campfire, adding warmth to the adventure. And if luck is on your side, the Northern Lights might may make a dazzling appearance, turning this already magical journey into an unforgettable spectacle.
Day 3
Snowmobile Adventures
Today’s adventure kicks off right from the hotel, where a row of snowmobiles awaits eager riders. The thrilling track leads downhill, then winds its way through snow-laden forests, skirting ice-covered swamps and lakes. Along the journey, a delightful pause is made for a fireside coffee break, adding a cosy touch to the snowy escapade. With refreshed spirits, it’s back on the snowmobiles, this time revving up for the exhilarating ascent back up the Iso Syöte hill, concluding the expedition with an adrenaline-fueled ride.
After the thrilling adventure of exploring the wintry landscapes, returning to the hotel is a welcoming sight. The cosy confines offer a perfect sanctuary to unwind and thaw out from the exhilarating ride. You have the option to indulge in the luxurious spa facilities, letting the warmth of the sauna or a pampering massage melt away any lingering cold. Otherwise, you can enjoy a soak in the hot tub and a sauna back in your room – a perfect way to end a day of adventure, soothing both body and soul in the lap of luxury.
Your Aurora View Suite will again become your perfect spot for looking out for the Northern Lights.

We have never before experienced such friendly and simultaneously professional service! Alex’s communication was super prompt, questions encouraged and welcomed and attended to with great care and detail. Everything was well organised and available on beautifully designed and very useful platforms. Our destination (Mattarahkka Northern Lights Lodge) was fabulous on so many different levels – exquisite views, friendly interactions from everyone on the team, great food, exciting activities, perfectly situated to see the northern lights (seen twice in 4 nights’ stay), a great fire place, and not to mention our fantastic guide Fabio. Their provision of winter kit (hats, down jacket, snow trousers, leather gloves and boots) offered everything we needed to be comfortable outside. All we needed to have packed really were base layers, a few layers of clothing and woollen socks. Defintely somewhere we would highly recommend and return to when possible!

We had five fantastic days in beautiful Iceland, as we had never been before Aurora Nights helped with everything and made the holiday so easy and stress free. We stayed at Hotel Ranga which was amazing, we very much enjoyed the tours and the guides were brilliant, very knowledgable and friendly. We will certainly be returning to Iceland and wouldn’t hesitate to book through Aurora Nights again, special thanks to Abigail as her experience and reccommendations made the trip even better.

What a fantastic trip! I booked this for myself and my husband to celebrate my 40th birthday and it didn’t disappoint! Booking was simple and we were kept up to date with all the details from the office team in the UK.
From the moment we arrived at Kiruna airport all the staff we encountered were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We opted for the upgraded room at the Abisko Mountain Lodge which I would highly recommend. The cold weather clothing which was supplied was fantastic and kept us really warm in the sub-zero temperatures. The dog sledging, snowmobiling and the Northern Lights photography were all superb and the staff leading the trips were really friendly and so knowledgeable. Even though we weren’t able to do the sky station trip because of the weather, there was a lovely alternative evening organised for us which included a traditional dinner and a walk to the lake where we were able to see the lights. The food at the lodge was also exceptional and showcased some lovely traditional dishes using Moose and Reindeer which were wonderful to try.
I would like to send a massive thank you to all the staff at The Abisko Mountain Lodge as well as the guides we used for our guided walks, dog sledging and snowmobiling. I’d highly recommend the trip, it was our first visit to Sweden and we would definitely return. Thanks again to everyone (including the huskies) who made it so memorable!

I found Aurora nights just through a google search. Alex, my Aurora expert was so helpful in helping us have the perfect trip to the Arctic. He had personal experience of the activities and places to visit there that would make our trip really special. This followed through to a particularly unforgettable and wonderful holiday. Everything was sent to us with care and attention before hand and we were supported by the team throughout our holiday. All of the recomendations were wonderful especially the Ice Hotel, dog sledding and of course the beautiful Northern Lights. The transportation arrived on time every time. I would highly recomend this company for their experience in the field and their due care and attention to you as a customer. It was faultless and we had the most awesome time.

Fantastic trip with great hosts & made even more special by seeing the Northern Lights twice!!
Wendy Naphine
Superb holiday to Iceland, well organised, advice regarding trips informative and far exceeded our expectations (Glaciers and ice Cave) run by South Coast. Hotel Ranga is a lovely hotel, perfect to see Northern Lights (which we did see on our 3rd night), very comfortable, food excellent, staff helpful and informative. SouthCoast Adventure tour company were excellent, guides knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced.
Helen Middleton
Overall very good. Staff excellent and helpful. Accomodation basic but was what we expected. Tour guides very good (nature walks, snow mobiles, dog sleighs). Sky station disappointing as we never got to go up due to the weather and this seem to be a recurring feature.The alternative walk at night and meal was a let down as a result.Overall would recommend to others.
John Kirby
Brilliant short break. Hotel Ranga was lovely, excellent food. Managed to see the Northern Lights as well! Iceland on the whole was quite expensive but a lovely place to visit, the people were very friendly.
