The Floating Safari Camp offers an exclusive, off-grid experience on the mirror-like waters of the Råne River delta. Accessible only by boat in summer or by snowmobile in winter, this floating suite is a secluded retreat that lets you wake up surrounded by pristine wilderness. Watch the Northern Lights dance overhead or fall asleep to the gentle sounds of nature in the world’s first floating glamping camp above the Arctic Circle.
Why Stay at The Floating Safari Camp?
This one-of-a-kind floating suite blends innovation, comfort and total immersion in nature. The sustainably built cabin features panoramic windows, a wood-fired stove, and a private deck where you can relax with unobstructed views of the river and endless sky.
In summer, the Midnight Sun bathes the landscape in golden light; in winter, you can marvel at the frozen river and clear Arctic nights filled with stars and aurora. The Floating Camp is designed for guests seeking total privacy, unique experiences, and a deep connection with the wild.
What to do at The Floating Safari Camp
Your stay includes a private guide and host to help you make the most of this extraordinary setting. In winter, arrive by snowmobile safari, go snowshoeing on the river ice, or relax with an outdoor hot tub experience under the stars. In summer and autumn, paddle a canoe through winding channels, fish for perch and pike, or explore the surrounding forests teeming with wildlife.
At night, enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared over an open fire and savour the silence that only true wilderness can offer.
Where is The Floating Safari Camp?
The Floating Safari Camp is located in Swedish Lapland, about an hour north of Luleå Airport. Depending on the season, your adventure begins with a transfer by boat, canoe, or snowmobile across the frozen landscape. Every journey to the camp is part of the experience—an unforgettable start to your stay in this remarkable place.

Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.

We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!

Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
Tori
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!

I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
Chris
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Rosie
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
