Packing the right items can greatly enhance a Northern Lights tour experience. Warm clothing is essential, as the subarctic climate demands layering with thermal wear, hats, gloves, and insulated boots.
A camera with a tripod is recommended for capturing the Aurora. A DSLR or a mirrorless camera set to long exposure can produce stunning images of the unique light display.
The prime time to observe the Aurora Borealis in Kiruna spans from late September to early April.

Booking a tour during these colder months may include additional perks, such as heated facilities or guided tours complete with photographic guidance.
