Day 3
Snowmobile Adventure & Aurora Photography Tour
Once you have had breakfast you will head out on a 2-hour snowmobile safari exploring the National Park from a different perspective, with a fast paced ride through the forests and winter landscapes. When you are back you can enjoy lunch and some relaxation before your next big Aurora adventure.
After dinner head out on your Ultimate Aurora Photography tour – an evening that provides a great opportunity to see and photograph the Northern Lights in the wilderness of Abisko National Park.
Abisko is situated in a low precipitation zone and has the lowest levels of rain and snow in Lapland. What this means is lots of clear nights for aurora watching.
Walk right out the lodge front door and a snowmobile transfer will take you to an exclusive location with commanding views over the mountains and the lake, both of which provide wonderful backdrops for Aurora photos! You will have two of our guides with you, one to instruct you on how to take photographs of the Northern Lights and the other guide to look after you and make sure you have hot drinks available. We will have a yurt set up with a fire so you can warm up if required.
You will be supplied with cameras pre-set for Aurora photography, or you can use your own cameras, and spend the evening in Abisko National Park. Whether you are a pro or you have never taken a picture in your life you have a great chance of going home after your Northern Lights holiday with some beautiful Aurora photographs and memories that will last a lifetime!

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.
