Tailor-made wilderness escape to a floating Arctic camp in Swedish Lapland
Floating Safari Camp
@ Floating Safari Camp
@ Floating Safari Camp
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.
Expect:
- Tailor-made summer itineraries built just for you
- Authentic Lappish design and comfort in Lavvu-style tents
- Locally sourced cuisine with a focus on sustainability
- Expert-guided activities or independent exploration—your choice

We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.

We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
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
We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!
The accommodations, the activities and especially the great people – thank you very much for this fantastic organisation !!!
Barbara
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!
Jim & Kris
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
Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
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!
Faith
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.
Karen
We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.
Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!
Shelly
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
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
