Moose Spotting Tour – Discover Lapland’s Gentle Giants

Your local guide will share fascinating insights about Arctic wildlife and life in the far north — making this tour a calm yet exciting encounter with Lapland’s most iconic animal.
Experience the Arctic Sky
The sky above Kiruna is alive with light — glowing with the Aurora Borealis from September to April, and illuminated by the Midnight Sun for eight magical weeks in summer.
Experience both from Aurora River Camp, where you can build a fire, enjoy a barbeque dinner, and stargaze from one of our cozy firepits as the northern lights appear above the Torne River. During winter, when the river freezes solid, guests can even walk across the ice to visit the world-famous Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi.
Beyond aurora watching, you can join a variety of Arctic adventures in and around the camp — including snowmobiling, dog sledding, moose spotting, and guided Lapland tours. Check our schedule or ask our team for more information — we’re happy to help you plan your perfect Arctic experience.
