Aurora Hunting with Reindeer Caravan
Overview
Imagine a clear starry sky evening far from the city lights and you may be lucky enough to see the majestic Northern Lights in the heart of Lapland. You are travelling in a reindeer caravan as the Sámi people did for hundreds of years ago in these areas. This is a true winter adventure which will make your smile shine in the winter darkness. One hour twenty minutes after you have left the urban life behind you, you will find yourself in a completely different environment where the reindeer is in the center. You can become a reindeer herder for a evening. You get to accompany the Sámi reindeer herder during his everyday life as he feeds his reindeer herd and looks after them.
This is a region where humans are few and the animals reign.
Your stay may be memorable, restful and at the same time refreshing for body and soul. Something to take with you into the future.

Aurora Hunting trip with reindeer sledding!
The reindeer herder picks you up, and we will leave the city life in Kiruna for one evening and travel eastward on the aurora borealis road. The road leads us further north into the wilderness and to the reindeer in the heart of northern Lapland.
The reindeer sledding tour brings you to the wilderness. Your new-found friend, the sled-reindeer pulls you forward. The silence emerges and you can hear the creaking of snow under the sled and the snapping from reindeer clover in the winter evening.
Imagine a clear starry sky evening far from the city lights and you may be lucky enough to see the majestic Northern Lights. You are travelling in a reindeer "rajd" as the Sámi people did for hundreds of years ago in these areas. This is a true winter adventure which will make your smile shine in the winter darkness. After the tour, we feed the reindeer herd together and gather in the lávvu around the warming fire to eat a dish made of reindeer meet.
Duration: 4 hours

Amazing experience. Beatrice and Fredrick were amazing hosts. We fed the animals in the coral, went on a see tour. And finished the day with an very tasty reindeer meat dinner in their traditional tepee. They also arranged vegetarian options when asked for. Highly recommend

Last night we made the *Aurora hunting with reindeer sledding* with Go to Lappland🇸🇪 Starry night, hours of northern lights, wonderful cute fellows 🦌 around us, delicious food around the campfire in Loabö ⛺, a nice squad and Bea and Frederik the two Samis. They just let us into their lives and showed us how the only and oldest indigenous people in Europe traditionally live. A simple, hard life, always connected to nature... that will still work in 2023 and hopefully continue to do so. Humility, gratitude and mindfulness of nature that is worth protecting remains in us.G5291QRjanc

Frederick and Beatrice dressed in their beautiful cultural clothing, provided us what a wonderful, amazing experience. They picked this up in our hotel and we went out into the wilderness. We met the reindeer and had fun feeding them. Then we went on a sleigh ride pulled by the reindeer. After a ride we went to a teepee and Beatrice prepared a delicious meal of reindeer meat. We set by a fire and enjoyed juice and hot coffee while she told stories and educated us on their culture. We were sure we were not in Kansas anymore! I admired the lovely purse she was carrying and asked her where I could get one similar to it. She told me to contact her about getting one. She can contact me at [email protected] I look forward to hearing from her. Thank you so much for a memory that we will cherish the rest of our lives. .Doug & Jan from Kansas USAShanley_C

Bertrice and Frederick were the most amazing guides. I think in total we probably spent 8 hours with Bertrice and she was absolutely lovely the whole time and willing to answer all of our questions thoughtfully, as she is also extremely knowledgeable about Sami culture and history. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and kept offering new surprises hour by hour. She even stopped on the way back to make sure we all had a chance to see the Northern Lights. Truly magical and delightful007Charly11

Where do I start? I feed more reindeers than I have ever seen in my life! Fredrick drove me in back of his snowmobile feeding reindeers since there are so many! All friendly with wonderful names and character, then the norther lights appeared, we got very lucky since it was the only day I saw them so clearly on my trip. Sledding in a convoy of reindeers and guests was unforgettable, surreal the bright sky with northern lights! Finally, the food with tea and strong that Fredrick's wife cooked we so tasty! They told us stories the entire group laughed they are such happy people! (tip = they picked me up @ my hotel even THAT Hotel ;) Thank you for the "homemade strong coffee" Fredrick! Also, you got the WINNING REINDEER all the best @ the races! I will be back to visit!
