Moose Safari on Horseback – Wildlife Viewing on an Icelandic Horse
Take the chance to watch the “king of the forest” on a moose safari on horseback. This unique journey on an Icelandic horse offers silent, magnificent views of the beautiful nature. By being on horseback, you come closer to the animals than usual, increasing your chance of a successful wildlife viewing on horseback in Kiruna experience. The silence and the natural environment provide a deep feeling of well-being.
Tour includes:
We pick you up in Kiruna C and drive to our farm westward, traveling through the winter land of the moose. Even the transfer offers a good chance to see moose or reindeer close to the road! After arriving, we prepare the reliable Icelandic horses and head out for a tour in the forest where the moose typically reside during the day. This moose spotting tour on horseback in Swedish Lapland is focused on silent observation. If conditions allow, we usually try the special gait, “tölt,” making the riding experience smooth and unforgettable. Riding experience is not required— this tour is suitable for guests with and without riding experience.
Wildlife Viewing on Horseback and Lunch
Our guides know the prime spots for wildlife viewing on horseback outside of Kiruna and focus on searching the areas where moose are known to be active. The back of a horse gives you the perfect vantage point for spotting animals from a distance without disturbing them. After the exhilarating ride, the tour ends back at our farm where we gather for a satisfying lunch. After lunch, we take care of your transfer back to Kiruna. This high-quality tour is certified with the Swedish Ecotourism Society’s label, Nature’s Best.
