Arctic adventure with Reindeer and Northern Lights hunt

STARTING TIME: 06:30 p.m.                                                                        

DURATION: 5 hours

Join a unique Arctic adventure that combines reindeer, Sámi culture, and the magic of the northern lights.

Your guide meets you in Kiruna before the journey begins. As we drive toward Övre Soppero, we make several aurora-hunting stops at selected viewpoints chosen for clear skies and open horizons. These locations give you the best chance to see the northern lights on the way to the reindeer.

When we arrive, you’ll meet the reindeer in a calm and natural winter setting. You will have the opportunity to feed them by hand - an important part of their care during the winter months, when otherwise they would have hard times to survive in nature, as heavy snow, ice, and rapid freeze make it difficult for reindeer to reach their natural food. This is not a touristic performance, but real Sámi life, which you will have the chance to take part of.

You’ll learn about Sámi traditions, reindeer herding, and what it means to grow up with these animals. Your guide shares personal stories and knowledge passed down through generations.

After the feeding, we warm up inside a traditional Sámi hut with a fire burning in the center. Enjoy a hot drink and a sweet snack as you listen to stories and learn more about Sámi culture and the deep connection to the land.

On the return journey to Kiruna, we continue the northern lights search with additional stops whenever the sky opens.
