September is a great month to see the Northern Lights. In 2017 it became possible to stay at ICEHOTEL in their cold rooms 365 days of the year. So our September options are ideal for those who want to have an Arctic experience when it's not quite so cold. September in the Arctic is beautiful; the Northern Lights season as well as golden autumn starts in September. If you want the chance to see the Northern Lights and aren't too fussed for snow, this is the ideal package for you.
For the Northern Lights September is a great month. Additionally it’s a truly beautiful time to visit Sweden – to be fair every month of the year is fabulous, but September in Swedish Lapland is really special. With this in mind, we’ve combined two “September Special” packages to enable you to experience Autumn in Sweden.
As with all of our packages, we can modify both of these packages to suit any specific requirements you may have – for example if you just want to stay in warm accommodation or add more activities – just let us know!

Bear Watching allows you to enjoy Finland's beautiful nature. With long days of almost 24 hours of sunlight you can make the most of your holiday - experience the opportunity to see wildlife like bears, canoe or swim in pure, clean water and take part in an exciting Husky Safari. This is a once in a lifetime trip and perfect if you want to see bears in their natural environment.

Ice Hotel summer break? Traditionally the Arctic isn’t where people think about spending their summer holiday – which means it’s super quiet and there are very few tourists, perfect! This tour takes you into the Swedish nature and gives you the perfect opportunity to disconnect from the rest of the world for a few days. During June – July you can experience the midnight sun (24 Hours of daylight). From September on you have an amazing chance to spot the Northern Lights.
If you’ve already been to the Arctic in Winter – then the summer is a completely different experience and one we absolutely recommend. Use the contact form, live chat or click to call us now to get your next summer trip booked!

Our Disko bay, Greenland adventure allows you to experience a country unspoiled by tourism. Experience a world of towering icebergs – too big to explain and where pictures will never do them justice. See pods of whales dance by your boat in Disko Bay and possibly even see seals pop up for a breath. There are no roads between towns (and only 40 miles of paved roads in the whole country) so connections are made by plane or boat. If you enjoy nature, wide open spaces and off the beaten tracks, this is definitely one for your bucket list.
Greenland holidays feature on many bucket lists but few people venture to this beautiful country. We absolutely consider this Greenland Disko Bay adventure the trip of a lifetime. Like all of our packages, it has been created by our travel specialists and Charlotte (pictured) has actually visited all of the locations on the tour, so you can be assured that you’re getting a tried and tested experience.
We recommend a good level of fitness to participate in this package. Owing to their challenging and remote nature Greenland holidays unfortunately tend not to be suitable for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

From kayaking through iceberg-studded fjords to hiking wildflower-covered trails, the Arctic is alive with adventure. Wildlife is everywhere — watch whales, seals, and even polar bears in their natural habitat, and spot reindeer roaming freely across the tundra. Enjoy exciting summer activities like dog carting, fishing, and fat biking, all surrounded by dramatic Arctic landscapes.
Beyond the adventure, connect with the rich traditions of the Sámi people. Visit local communities, learn about reindeer herding, and stay in traditional lodges or lavvu tents for an authentic cultural experience. Try fishing in crystal-clear rivers or forage for wild berries with local guides, all under the soft glow of the midnight sun.
