Join us for an unforgettable evening that begins in our cozy BBQ hut in Poikkijärvi, offering a stunning view of the river. You’ll experience the authentic taste of a traditional Sami dish, ‘souvas,’ prepared with vegetables. This delightful meal, made from lightly smoked reindeer, deer and moose meats, is cooked over an open fire in a large dish at the center of the room, following the old Sami traditions.

This evening tour begins inside a large, cozy tentipi, where the warm fire and the smell of traditional food set the scene. Our guide shares stories about Sámi culture, the history of Lapland, and life in northern Sweden, while you enjoy a delicious dish cooked over open flames. It’s a peaceful and relaxing start to the night, surrounded by nature and good company.

After dinner, we head out in minibuses to chase the northern lights. Our guides carefully choose the best spots based on weather and sky conditions, giving you the best chance to see the aurora. As soon as we spot the lights, we stop so you can take photos and enjoy the moment. Our guides are happy to help with camera settings and tips to capture the perfect shot. Sometimes the lights take a little while to appear, but the wait under the Arctic sky is part of the magic.

This tour is a mix of local flavors, storytelling, and northern lights adventures—a truly memorable evening in Swedish Lapland.
