In the evening there will be a talk on herrings, which are the main reason why killer whales are present in this area. After dinner a “whale ceremony” will be held, with a video from the day's safari.

Once we find the killer whales, we turn the engine off. Close contact with these great animals, the silence interrupted only by their dramatic blowing noises, the smell of real herrings, and you feel like part of the whole phenomenon. Words are not enough – you have to be there!

Snorkelling amongst killer whales
If conditions are right, and you're really adventurous, you can go into the water with the killer whales. Snorklers stay on the surface, and can experience killer whales in their element below the surface of the sea.

ICEHOTEL, Snowmobile and Dog Sled

Welcome to Kiruna and Lapland. Up here in Europe's last wilderness, you will find everything: a fantastic mountain world, untouched river valleys, the midnight sun in summer, and polar nights and northern lights in winter. The Sami culture has a strong presence throughout the area, which also boasts the world's largest underground mine, Europe's only civilian space base and, not least, ICEHOTEL the world-famous hotel made from snow and ice.

Experience ICEHOTEL, the fascinating construction that is rebuilt every year. The whole of ICEHOTEL is a loan from the Torne River's rich flow – it is built from material taken from the river and eventually returns to the river as it melts at the end of the season. The completely transparent ice is not only used for the architecture, but also for all the art and design found in this unique hotel.

Join us on a snowmobile through the Lapland polar night. The days are short in midwinter, but thanks to the white snow, the starlight and northern lights, it is never completely dark. It is a magical feeling to travel through the night with the chance to see the northern lights if the weather is clear. A Lapland wilderness dinner is enjoyed in a Lavvù (Sami hut) by the river sitting on reindeer skins around the fire.

A tour by dog sled is a fantastic way to experience nature in winter. The dogs howl and tug on their harnesses eager to pull you through the wilderness. As soon as the guide lets go, the dogs become quiet and all you hear is the sound of dry snow under the runners of the sled. Silence, calm and action all at the same time.
