The sun casts its rays down on the path waiting for our group to take it on. I hear giggling between the banter as we begin our hike. Sweden hiking tours can be filled with fun and it’s a great way to meet new people that have similar interests as you travel. Solo traveling, as I do often, can lead you feeling lonely. But I’ve found that going on a hiking tour or any outdoorsy tour, I end up finding lifelong friends! Plus, you get to enjoy the nature with likeminded people.
The best thing about being on a tour is that you get to learn more about the area from your guide. Since I’m always filled with questions, this fills my curiosity. You get to learn more about the culture of Sweden and its nature in several of the tours. Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Or in Kiruna, you can go on a dog sledding excursion! That made my adrenaline pump so hard when I tried it the first time with my friend’s sledding dogs. The dogs get filled with such excitement. It seems nothing can stand in their way when they’re hooked onto the sled and ready for the action. But, be weary. There are some dog sledding tours that are offered that mistreat the dogs. Look into it before you decide on a tour!

Meals are included along with pickup and drop off in Stockholm Central.
