Fly to Kiruna in Swedish Lapland where you meet your transfer to Andreas Mikko’s exclusive Máttaráhkká Northern Lights Lodge, a fantastic base for your Northern Lights Special Holiday.

This wonderful Lodge situated with far reaching views towards the Abisko Alps is the perfect base for a short break. With only seven rooms it has a ‘home away from home’ feel and has excellent activities right from your doorstep.

Mikko and his family will be your hosts and guides and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They will run through your itinerary and will act as your point of reference.

You will also have complimentary arctic winter clothing issued to you for the whole of your stay at the lodge.

Enjoy a magical evening at the lodge with dinner in the tipi located outside the beautiful Lodge Máttaráhkka. When the time is right, you’ll travel by snowmobile to the top of Mt. Ednavaara which offers great views over the mountain range away from the light pollution.

The guide will bring a camera and take pictures throughout the entire evening!

After breakfast enjoy a ride in comfort with blankets to keep you warm on the sled, your guide will be driving the dog sled through this winter wonderland and through the taiga forest.

Halfway through this dog sledding adventure, Swedish Fika is offered around the crackling fire in the tipi located middle of the forest

After a fast-paced dog sled ride through the forest, your guide will take you to the Icehotel, where you can feast on a Swedish buffet of dishes and experience the magical original Icehotel made of snow and ice as well as the revolutionary Icehotel 365.

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.
