Two hours on a guided Stockholm archipelago boat cruise from Skeppsbron, passing Fjäderholmarna and Tegelön with great views.

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. Maybe if we had nothing else to compare to it would be different. Pros: - We saw the northern lights and our guide did take some beautiful photographs - We were given thick snow suits to wear to help with the cold Cons: - We only had 1 guide, where we would've expected 2 (one to drive, and one to talk and guide). This wouldn't have been an issue if our guide spoke to us whilst she was driving, but she didn't. On the 1h…”
