Small-group northern lights hunt in Kiruna, with pickup, warm snacks, and a photographer who helps you get sharp aurora photos.

“Having been on northern lights tours elsewhere before, unfortunately by comparison this experience wasn't as good because our (guide) expectations were high and this disappointed.

Eventually, we got lucky and the clouds parted enough over the mountains and we certainly got an experience of a lifetime. #FeedFelix”

“Highly recommend Joey Tristan as an aurora guide! She brought a professional camera along so that we can have these memories captured. She is extremely professional and meticulous at capturing perfect photos. I had numerous questions about the environment and the spectacular corona aurora we witnessed, and she patiently answered every single one. Joey truly goes above and beyond to make the night special, even used boiling water on a frozen lake in an attempt to try and clear the thick ice so we could see the fish swimming underneath!”
