Northern lights tour on horseback – Arctic Horse Riding Under the Stars

To watch the Northern Lights and a starry sky from the back of a horse is an truly amazing experience, offering relaxation at its best. Join the Northern lights tour on horseback for a shorter riding excursion through hundred-year-old forest nestled against the mountain range near Kiruna. In the Arctic dark, you place your trust in your four-legged friends, breaking the silence only with their gentle sounds.

We begin by picking you up in Kiruna C and driving to our farm westward. Together, we prepare the magnificent Icelandic horses for riding. These gentle animals are perfect for this journey. We hope to see the beautiful Northern Lights and a clear, star-filled sky. We are probably also going to see some moose during the evening. This entire experience, certified by the Swedish Ecotourism Society’s label, Nature’s Best, is a unique way to combine wildlife spotting and the hunt for the Aurora, utilizing the calm nature of the horses.

Icelandic Horse Tour Northern Lights and Culture

This Icelandic horse tour Northern Lights experience ends with dinner and conversation around the fire in a goahti (Sámi hut). You will be served local specialities like game or fish, giving you a taste of the regional cuisine. While sitting around the fire, you get to know more about the animals, nature, and local culture. This tour is suitable for most guests, but riding experience is required to ensure you can safely control the horse at faster gaits than a walk, making it perfect for seasoned riders seeking a peaceful adventure.
