Aurora Borealis Adventures is a small adventure operator based in Ekorrsele in Västerbottens län, Swedish Lapland. The company specializes in aurora-focused accommodation and dog-sled experiences that highlight local nature and culture. Guests can book heated Aurora Tepees designed for comfortable overnight stays beneath starry skies and possible Northern Lights displays. Accommodation packages include options such as a Romance Package with a locally sourced dinner and a delivered breakfast basket, and standalone tepee nights for a private night under the stars.
In addition to unique stays, Aurora Borealis Adventures operates a range of sled-dog activities year-round. Experiences include dryland rookie and half-day dryland tours where teams of Siberian Huskies pull wheeled rigs across trails, a Rookie Run for beginners sharing a sled, and a longer “A Taste of Mushing” program that includes hands-on driving instruction and a chef-prepared outdoor meal. The operator emphasizes animal welfare, basic mushing education, and small-group guides who introduce guests to sled dog care and local terrain.
All offerings are run from the Ekorrsele base with an emphasis on safety, local knowledge, and authentic Swedish Lapland experiences. Booking information, seasonal availability, and trip durations are provided for each activity. Aurora Borealis Adventures works with local suppliers for meals and accommodation services, and maintains clear guest information about clothing, meeting points, and accessibility to ensure transparent, trust-building experiences.
Guests receive pre-trip guidance on appropriate clothing, photography tips for aurora viewing, and weather-related updates to maximize comfort and safety during each booked experience and clear cancellation policies for guests.
