The tour starts at Hotel Savoy in Luleå town in Swedish Lapland. Check-in time is 3 pm, but you can arrive earlier and relax in the reception lounge or visit the spa.
Address: Storgatan 59, Luleå >> Link to Google Maps
Meeting time: On Day 2 meet up with your guide at Hotel Savoy in Luleå at 10:30 am.
By train: We highly recommend the Arctic Circle train from Stockholm or Arlanda airport to Luleå, which runs on renewable energy. The journey takes around 13 hours and offers a memorable start to your adventure. You can also choose to travel by train in one direction and fly in the other direction. The train has a restaurant serving basic meals, snacks, and drinks. Purchase your train tickets online at www.sj.se. A bunk bed in a shared 6-bed compartment costs approximately 3000 SEK for a return ticket, with 3-bed and private compartments also available. Upon arrival in Luleå, it's just a short 500-meter walk to Hotel Savoy, where the tour begins.
Climate reward: If you travel by train from Stockholm to Luleå with return, you'll receive our climate reward that includes a free meal at Hotel Savoy and free access to the spa. The meal could be breakfast, lunch, or a one-course dinner, not including drinks. To claim the reward, simply email us with your preferred meal. Note that the spa has limited visitors and may be fully booked at times.
By air: To get to Luleå, fly from Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) with SAS or Norwegian. Luleå Airport is small, and you can easily reach Luleå by shuttle bus or taxi (20 minutes). As there are no scheduled activities on the first and last day of the tour, you can choose to take a flight or train at any time that suits you.

5 reasons to choose this tour:
Are you dreaming of experiencing the Arctic region and hoping to see the Northern Lights? Then this tour is for you. Let me show you why this is the trip you've been longing for.
We take you away from the tourist trails: If you travel with us you will reach places that most travelers have never heard of, and you are very likely not seeing any other tourists or travelers during this trip. This will give you a more genuine experience and meeting with the local people.
Because Jokkmokk is the place to visit: Why, you ask? Well, this region of Lapland remains untamed and authentic, featuring snow-capped mountains, frozen lakes, ancient boreal forests, and rushing rivers across its expansive landscape.
Support the Sámi community: We have chosen to focus this trip around Jokkmokk, a stronghold for the indigenous Sámi community with a large proportion of the population being Sámis. By choosing our tour, you actively support the Sámis and also our common struggle to save the land from mining, forestry and other types of over-exploitation. Our hope is that you will become an ambassador for the Sámi community and to join them in their cause to save the natural world.
Small groups, big connections: Picture yourself in the company of a small, intimate group of like-minded individuals who share your love for wildlife and nature. Our tours are designed to bring together a community of nature enthusiasts, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere where lasting connections are forged. You'll have the opportunity to exchange stories, learn from each other's experiences, and build cherished friendships that will endure long after the tour ends. You can also choose to book a private tour for you and your family or friends.
Friendly local guides: Our local tour leaders are passionate about wildlife conservation and knows the area well. They will be your companion throughout the trip, sharing their knowledge and providing insightful commentary on the culture, ecology and conservation efforts in Swedish Lapland. Prepare for engaging discussions, fascinating insights, and the chance to expand your understanding of the captivating wildlife and nature that surrounds us.
