About the activity
Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you drive around the Lappish wilderness looking for the perfect spot to observe one of the most magical natural phenomena in the world on this amazing private Northern Lights hunt from Luleå! Located right at the threshold of the Arctic Circle, in Swedish Lapland, Luleå is a beautiful, historic coastal city, home to a UNESCO World Heritage site, and surrounded by stunning and diverse landscapes. From the end of August to the beginning of April, Luleå and its surrounding landscapes are intermittent witnesses to the incredible Northern Lights phenomenon, which is produced by the interaction of the sun's particles with the Earth's atmosphere.
On the day of your private Northern Lights hunt in Swedish Lapland, you'll have the comfort of being picked up right at your accommodations in Luleå. You'll meet your instructor and hop in the car that will drive you around the Arctic landscapes surrounding the city, in search of the aurora borealis. The expert from Hiking the North will explain the itinerary for the day and a few safety recommendations to follow. And once everything is prepared, it's time to go!
You'll drive around for approximately 3 hours, searching for clear skies and a remote location free of light pollution to be able to observe the aurora in all its glory. When you find the perfect spot, you'll descend from the vehicle, and your instructor will build an open fire, so you can all sit around it, keeping warm and setting your eyes in the sky. Once the time for the activity has run out, you'll return to your accommodations for the end of your private Northern Lights Hunt from Luleå.
Keep in mind that the aurora borealis is a natural and completely unpredictable phenomenon, so even though your instructors have years of experience on these hunts, and they'll do their best to find it for you, they can't guarantee that you'll see it. That said, to prepare for this wonderful experience, you should bring warm winter clothing, including thermal underlayers, a hat, a scarf, and gloves, as well as anything else you might need to spend an amazing 3 hours hunting for the Northern Lights in Swedish Lapland from Luleå!
