Breakfast at the hotel. During the day, you will have the chance to participate on one of the optional winter activities. (additional cost applies) For instance, you could participate on a dog sledding trip.

During the afternoon, you have the option to pay a visit to a moose and reindeer park, where you will have the chance to see the biggest wild animal from Scandinavia. It’s very exciting to stand eye to eye with ‘The King of The Forest’ and feed the moose from your own hand. (additional cost applies) In the evening, you will be picked up in central Luleå for a guided hunt for Aurora Borealis. To see this phenomenon, you need to find a location, where the sky is clear and free of artificial lights. In suitable weather conditions, you will have a good chance to witness the Northern Lights. This activity starts at 20.00 and lasts 3 hours. During this time, you will visit at least three different spots.
