Fully Guided Tours & Trips in Sweden
Picture crushing ice on a two-hour Icebreaker excursion, driving dog sleds through snowy forests, then hunting for Northern Lights in Luleå. Swedish Arctic explorer is genuinely thrilling. Feed moose by hand at a local park, choose from snowmobiling or ice fishing. Northern Sweden's winter activities deliver experiences that sound impossible, including breaking through thick ice, mushing huskies, chasing aurora, but happen regularly in Swedish Lapland.

Schweden Urlaub - Südschweden RundreiseBy far the best holiday i have experienced. Wild Sweden delivered a seamless and really enjoyable tour from Lulea to Jokkmokk and back. All the gourmet meals, quality accommodation and unique experiences in the stunning North will stay with me as fantastic memories. From the initial sign-up through to the highly professional guides, Wild Sweden made navigating the Arctic terrain effortless and comfortable with advice and custom equipment for first timers like myself. I truly appreciated the relaxed environment on tour with our group - and the adventures we went on. Seeing the bright Northern Lights in clear view was the icing on the cake. I would change nothing and definitely recommend this trip as the best way to adventure in the North of Sweden. Thanks for everything - from Jonathon.
