About this experience
Sit Back and Relax whilst sitting on the sled driven by the guide. You can relax and look up at the sky whilst being pulled by a team of eager huskies. We mush approximately 13 kms and stop half way at our teepee located at an optimal point to see the northern lights. Here we stop to enjoy a cup of warm tea or coffee and warm up by the fire. You also have the chance to admire the amazing scenery and hopefully the aurora show. The dogs would love a cuddle, so you can get up close and personal! From here we mush back to the kennel. Once back at the kennel you return our borrowed gear and we drive you back to Kiruna or Icehotel by minivan. Pls Note that end of March and April it is no longer dark during our Aurora tours. Still beautiful dusk but chances to see the aurora on the actual sled is not likely due to no longer having darkness at the time of the tour.
