Curious spectators have long since been captivated by the Northern Lights, and it’s not hard to see why. The shifting swirls of the Aurora envelop you in their majesty as they illuminate the Arctic skies, performing beguiling dances of colour: twists and turns, bends and bows. Rolling. Spinning. Dancing.  

But the playful Aurora isn’t always flamboyant: it’s elusive. You’ll have to find it.

Fortunately, the guides know where to go. Lapland specialists with almost four decades of experience behind them, they know a thing or two about searching for the Aurora Borealis – that’s why all of our holidays are based in uncommercial, True Lapland locations, where city light pollution doesn’t impair the intensity of the Northern Lights. Moreover, all of our holiday locations are based along the Official Northern Lights Route, a 600km route weaving through Lapland, recognised by the governments of Finland, Sweden and Norway as offering the best viewings of the Aurora. 

Our 3 breaks in True Lapland are a perfect winter holiday for those looking to catch a display of the Northern Lights, and also experience a host of once-in-a-lifetime Arctic activities: mush a team of huskies across the Arctic tundra, drive a snowmobile down a frozen river, and ride a reindeer sleigh through the snow-capped forest. Why not stay a night in an igloo, too?

Included Activities

Our Northern Lights holidays are arranged so that you can make the most of your time in Lapland and enjoy the extraordinary experiences offered in this very special corner of the world.

Your holiday begins with a morning flight to Enontekio Airport from one of 14 UK airports, on our direct charter flight, exclusive to Transun.

Enontekio is a very small airport and yours is likely to be the only flight that day. From there, you make the one-hour transfer to Karesuando, a remote border village that straddles Swedish and Finnish Lapland. Located some 300km inside the Arctic Circle, Karesuando is located perfectly on the Northern Lights Route and offers the choice of two hotels: the Davvi Arctic Star in Swedish Karesuando, or the more rustic Davvi Arctic Lodge, in Finnish Karesuando. Your included accommodation is on a full-board basis. We also provide you with thermal snow suits and boots for the duration of your stay, so you are well equipped for Lapland’s Arctic temperatures.

Although the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed, you’ll still have an amazing holiday thanks to the host of once-in-a-lifetime excursions which are included in this holiday. A full itinerary is given on arrival so it can be best organised around weather conditions and Northern Lights predictions.

Optional Excursions Also Available.
