Anytime Aurora Adventures - Lights over Lapland AB

Overview

Are you dreaming of the perfect Northern Lights Holiday in Abisko National Park? Would you prefer a custom tailored adventure that focuses on your particular interests and the specific dates you want to travel rather than a pre built package? Look no further – Lights Over Lapland’s Anytime Aurora Adventures are just what you are looking for!

Our all-inclusive, Anytime Aurora Adventures in Abisko National Park are designed by a team of professionals with two priorities: To help you see the northern lights and to build a trip that is designed around the dates that you can travel when one of our pre existing Northern lights holiday packages don’t work with your schedule.

We can offer independent travelers an all-inclusive adventure ranging from a minimum of three nights in Abisko all the way up to any duration of time that you choose.

We have found that three days in Abisko gives you an excellent opportunity to see the northern lights but always recommend that you stay a minimum of four nights if possible as this virtually guarantees that you will see the northern lights while in our care.

As a matter of fact, 99% of the thousands of guests that we have hosted during the last decade have seen the lights with us if they were in Abisko for four nights or more. While we can not guarantee that you will see the lights during your trip we can say that you have a very high likelihood of success. Due to our location in a micro climate and resulting rain shadow, Abisko National Park is one of the finest locations for stargazing and astrophotography in the world.

Our Anytime Aurora Adventures include accommodation in one of the best hotels in Abisko, gourmet meals in the finest local restaurants, and an evening aurora adventure each night that you are in Abisko. In addition to all of the excitement you will enjoy with our team of professionals each night, we also include one daytime activity of your choice (excluding dogsledding). This ensures that you never miss an opportunity to see the auroras, and allows you to experience all of the majestic views that Abisko and the surrounding areas provide during the day. There are lots of great options to choose from but we can highly recommend one of our Morning Hikes in Abisko National Park, or an exciting daytrip to the world famous Icehotel. If you are looking for an adventure that gets your adrenaline pumping we can offer lots of excitement on a snowmobile trip in Abisko. In addition to one included daytime activity of your choice, you also have an opportunity to book extra activities for an additional fee.

Our Anytime Aurora Adventures are among the highest ranked aurora adventures on Earth and provide you with a very high likelihood of a successful aurora chase! We are also proud of the fact that these trips represent an excellent value as they only include the trips that you are interested in and are custom designed for each of our guests. When you book an Anytime Aurora Adventure with Lights Over Lapland you can take comfort in the fact that we will handle every detail for you. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Lights Over Lapland!

Frequently asked questions

While Lights Over Lapland’s adventures are a favorite among photographers, we are often asked about how our tours are experienced by guests with little or no interest in photography. The answer is simple; you do not need to be a photographer to have a the time of your life on one of our aurora adventures!

We have had countless guests join us who had little or no interest in photography over the years and we are happy to say that they have all gone home very happy with our packages!

While all our adventures include camera gear, our trips are not specifically designed for photographers. We simply include cameras in our packages as we believe that the best souvenir from Abisko is a photograph of the aurora display that you witnessed during your time in the Arctic. Our guides will be happy to help you capture beautiful photographs and teach you the ins and outs of aurora photography but their main focus is to make sure that you see the lights and that you enjoy every moment of your time in Abisko.

If you would prefer to not use a camera during your visit just let us know and we will make sure that your guide takes lots of nice photographs of you with the lights so that you can go home with some great images of your Arctic Adventure!

It is very common to work in an average temperature of -20 degrees Celsius and very possible to encounter temperatures as low as -35. Warm clothes are a must!

Warm arctic overalls are included in all of our multi-day packages and warm insulated boots are available for rental upon request. For safety reasons, and to ensure that you get the most out of your visit it is very important that you bring the following items:

Winter Jacket. A heavy jacket with a hood is highly recommended so you have something warm to wear while traveling, before you receive our Arctic overalls.
Snow pants. Water resistant or water proof (not necessary if you use our overalls).
Warm hat. A warm hat that will cover as much of your head and face as possible.
Gloves. One heavy pair of outer gloves and a smaller pair of liner gloves to keep on while adjusting your camera equipment.
Wool Socks. It is recommended that you wear one pair during the day and a fresh pair during the evening so it is good to bring two pairs of socks for each day.
Warm insulated winter boots (available for rental upon request). Sorel, Baffin and Muck are example of good brands.
Multiple clothing layers for top and bottom. Synthetics, wool and fleece are recommended materials. Cotton is to be avoided. For bottom layers, we recommend wearing thermals + one layer of fleece/thick wool or down pants underneath our overalls.
Goggles are not a must but if you have some at home we suggest you bring them along as they are nice to use in windy conditions. Clear goggles are the best as they can also be used at night.
