Highlights

  • Hunt for the Northern Lights in the dark Icelandic night
  • Travel on a quest for one of nature’s most beautiful natural phenomena
  • Marvel at the stunning display as the lights dance around the northern sky
  • Free retry tour if you don´t see the aurora at the first attempt

Full description

Embark on an evening trip to see the Aurora Borealis. Hear fascinating facts about them from your guides, and search to see the lights firsthand.

Depart the bright lights of Reykjavík city center to see the dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis. Also known as the “Northern Lights,” it is one of the most spectacular shows during winter months.

Head for wherever meteorologists have predicted the lights will be at their best that night. To get stunning views of the sky you will aim for areas with no artificial light. Hear explanations of how the Aurora Borealis is caused as a result of the gaseous particles in the earth’s atmosphere colliding with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere.

Benefit from an itinerary that includes stops for you to go outside and take photographs. The locations visited differ from day to day, but you will head in the direction with the most chance of seeing Mother Nature at work.

As the tour is weather-dependent, and sightings are not guaranteed, you are also invited to join a seat on our Northern Lights Bus tour free of charge if the lights don’t appear. 

Includes

  • Bus fare
  • Aurora hunting guide
  • Guided tour
  • Refreshments
  • Open ticket for 3 years for free retry if you don't get to see the Northern Lights on this scheduled tour

Important information

What to bring
