NORTHERN LIGHTS · LULEA NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
A winter trip has room for two or three of these at most. The 7 Lulea northern lights tours below justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide tonight and get back to packing.
Meet at Kulturens Hus in central Luleå for a three-hour Northern Lights hunt by car. Your English or Swedish-speaking guide checks the weather and aurora activity, then drives to at least three viewing spots. Expect warm drinks, something sweet, local stories, and a small group of no more than seven people.
“Shane was great, the northern lights were amazing out at the lake, we got very lucky!”
Travel from your Luleå hotel in a small group of up to eight, following local forecasts to several Aurora viewing spots. Your English-speaking guide, possibly Irene or Julian Wols, serves Swedish snacks by a campfire, explains Aurora science and myths, and helps you photograph the sky.
“super moment avec le petit plus : le feu de camp et la dégustation de jus d'airelles chaud et de produits locaux !!”
Ride in a snowmobile-drawn sled lined with reindeer pelts and warm blankets as certified nature guides search for the aurora across frozen sea and islands near Luleå. Along the way, you’ll learn about Arctic nature and local life, then make a fire in the snow for hot drinks and cake. English and Swedish tours are available.
“My husband and I booked this excursion for my birthday, and I will confirm it was absolutely perfect. Our guide was excellent! We will definitely be back, and recommend to all our friends/family! Thank you so much again :)”
Leave Brändön Lodge’s lights behind on a guided 2.5-hour snowmobile ride through snowy northern Sweden. Share a snowmobile or drive your own if you are over 18 with a valid car license. Certified nature guides, warm gear, hot drinks, and a small snack are included. Optional hotel transfer from Luleå is available.
“The tour was great, although we tought to have individual snowmobiles (we shared), but overall it was a great experience.”
Meet your English-speaking guide in Mörön, 30 kilometers from Luleå, for a three-hour evening snowmobile tour. You’ll receive warm gear, share a snowmobile with another participant, and take turns driving through the snowy wilderness. A hot drink, Swedish fika, and a Northern Lights search round out the trip. Hotel transfer from Luleå can be booked separately.
“È stata una bellissima esperienza! Abbiamo potuto usufruire della loro attrezzatura per il freddo (tuta, stivali, guanti, ecc…), la guida ci ha spiegato come guidare la motoslitta, abbiamo guidato per più di due ore con qualche piccola pausa, tra cui una intorno al fuoco. E alla fine…. Abbiamo visto anche l’aurora boreale! Non potevamo chiedere di meglio, grazie!”
Spend two hours with an English-speaking guide at First Camp Luleå, meeting reindeer, learning about Sami culture and Northern Lights folklore, then warming up inside a traditional lavvu with hot lingonberry drink. The tour runs in a small group and includes a forest walk, fire, and a chance to lasso a reindeer antler.
“De ervaring van het bekijken van rendieren in het donker was niet erg speciaal. De dieren waren schuw en hadden de buik al vol. Daarnaaat was het erg donker op de locatie en was het maken van foto's niet echt goed mogelijk. De dame in kwestie wist het verhaal wel goed te vertellen en daarmee krijg je wel een goed inzicht in de historie en cultuur van de Sami. Ik geef vier sterren voor het enthousiasme van de dame. Maar de prijs voor deze excursie is wat mij betreft aan de te hoge kant.”
Join Luleå Travel for a three-hour evening walk through snow-covered forest near Luleå. Your English-speaking guide provides snowshoes, headlamp, winter boots, and thermal overall, then leads you to a fire with hot drinks and reindeer skins.
