Here at Lights of Vikings we are based in Kiruna. Sweden is an ideal location for viewing the Northern Lights due to its dry climate during the winter months and its lack crowds. We are located in one of Europe’s last untouched wilderness areas, away from the hectic atmosphere of major cities, allowing us to enjoy the Northern Lights in a completely unique way.
Our guides team is made up of people from all over the world. We’re all focused with the northern lights, but each of us has our own unique strengths that can help you get the most out of your northern lights experience.
What makes Lights of Vikings Longest Northern Lights Tour special
We take great pride in our concept of the longest northern lights tour, offering a full Northern Lights experience in a 6 to 10 hour tour.
After travelling to many different Northern Lights destinations around the world, we decided to create our own Northern Lights tour based on the best experiences we had.
All our tours depart from and return to Kiruna, so however far we need to drive to find clear sky, you’ll always start and end your night from your hotel there.
Our guides gives you information about Lapland during dinner. You will learn about the history of the region, the culture, and the science and magic of the Northern Lights. After the traditional dinner, we get in our private car together. On this trip, both your driver and your professional photographer guide will accompany you.
Your guide makes a day plan according to the weather conditions of that day. Our evening Northern Lights tours depart according to this plan. Depending on the weather conditions (especially the clouds), a different destination is chosen that night. Each night, we look at all the data to make sure the region we visit will give you the best chance to see the aurora.
Observing the northern lights around the lake, featuring the magnificent nature of Abisko, is an amazing experience. But there is also the possibility of going to Kiruna and further away, or crossing the border to the Norwegian fjords, depending on the night.
It is not important for us to drive long distances. We work hard to find areas with no clouds. If there is snow or rain affecting a large area, we cancel our tours on all nights where we have no chance.

When we reach the region we have selected to visit, we make our campfire in the wilderness and prepare hot drinks for you to cozy up with.

Our tours usually end after midnight. Depending on the distance to be traveled, your tour will take between 6 and 10 hours.

No matter how cold the night is, we give you snowsuits before your tour starts and we offer hot drinks during the night.
