Experience the stunning landscapes of Abisko National Park on a guided day tour from Kiruna, with scenic stops, flexible routing based on weather, and plenty of time for exploration and photos.
Begin your guided day tour with pickup from Kiruna at 09:00 and travel in a small group with a local guide. Journey along scenic Arctic roads surrounded by mountains, forests, and wide open tundra as you head toward the Abisko region.
This tour is designed to showcase the dramatic landscapes of Abisko National Park. Depending on the season and weather conditions, the itinerary includes scenic stops, short walks in nature, and plenty of opportunities for photography. Highlights may include visits to Björkliden, known for its alpine scenery, and Silverfallet, a picturesque waterfall near Abisko that changes character with the seasons.
During the tour, your guide will share local context about the region's geography, nature, and everyday life in the Arctic. Wildlife sightings such as moose or reindeer are possible, but cannot be guaranteed, as animals roam freely in their natural habitat.
The tour is available on selected dates and typically lasts up to 6 hours, depending on conditions and the pace of the group. It usually runs on Saturdays and Sundays, with additional departures on selected public holidays — current bookable dates are shown in the booking calendar. The flexible itinerary allows stops and timing to be adjusted on the day to ensure the best possible experience.
Take time to explore the surroundings, enjoy the silence of the Arctic wilderness, and capture memorable photographs before returning to Kiruna.
