About this trip
Six days in Swedish Lapland with a group of fellow 18-35 travellers, chasing the Northern Lights above the Arctic Circle. You start in Stockholm before heading north together to Abisko, one of the more reliable spots in the world for catching the aurora.
Days are built around the cold and the dark in a good way — huskies, snowmobiles, and proper Arctic kit so you can actually stay out long enough to see something. It's a small-group trip, so you're doing this alongside people your own age rather than on a coach tour.
What you'll do
- Travel north from Stockholm to Abisko, inside the Arctic Circle
- Go on a husky sledding tour through the Lapland snow
- Ride a snowmobile across the Arctic landscape
- Head out at night with cold-weather gear to look for the Northern Lights
- Aurora sightings depend on clear skies and solar activity, so seeing them isn't guaranteed on any given night
- Expect genuinely cold conditions — this is winter above the Arctic Circle
- Good fit if you want an active, outdoorsy trip rather than a city break
Worth it if you're after affordable Lapland activities and group vibes. Think twice if seeing Northern Lights is your main priority or you need a deeply involved guide.
- Group atmosphere consistently brilliant—young internationals with genuine party and exploration energy.
- Northern Lights sightings heavily luck-dependent; several reviewers saw nothing despite the trip's core appeal.
- Guide involvement varies wildly—some felt like independent travellers without real guide presence or leadership.
- Activities packed (dog sledding, hiking, snowmobile) and well-organised, but Stockholm hostel quality notably below Lapland standard.
