Summer safari in Swedish Lapland

Arrival at Luleå Airport or by train to Älvsbyn Central Station. We take you with a comfortable minibus to Europe’s largest waterfall Storforsen in Piteälv (älv=river). Experience nature’s impressive spectacle and the power of water. We check into the hotel. Enjoy walks on your own in the nature reserve that surrounds the waterfalls, put on swimwear and jump from the rocks down into the natural small pools that form on the edge of the fall. In summer the water is relatively warm, in spring and autumn this is an experience for Vikings! Wild swimming.  Dinner at the hotel (at your own expense, but we have reserved a table for you). Experience the midnight light.

Breakfast at The Outpost Lodge. Today goes on a long moose safari. There are also good chances that we will see reindeer, hare, fox, golden eagle, sea eagle and maybe even a bear. But the bears are shy, and would rather not have contact with us humans. We eat an outdoor lunch, cooked over an open fire in this area which is roughly located on the Arctic Circle itself. We return to the lodge in the afternoon to relax, go to the sauna, maybe a game of evening fishing, a hike up Ole’s hill (really nice view). 4-course dinner also included today.

Accommodation in comfortable cabins at Aurora Safari Camp.

After mid-August, it is often possible to see the northern lights if you are lucky.

The fishing here is really good! There are lots of pike and perch and also salmon in the Storälven (during the salmon season).

In the wilderness, bubble water with accompanying northern Swedish delicacies tastes quite fantastic!
