Highlights

  • Learn everything you need to know about the Northern Lights.

  • Witness the breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights
  • Stay warm with icelandic wool blankets
  • Delicious hot chocolate and icelandic donuts

Full description

Words alone cannot capture the beauty of this incredible natural phenomenon. It's an experience that we believe you will truly appreciate and enjoy.

With this in mind, our Northern Lights tour is centered around the idea of creating a memorable experience. We begin by carefully planning our journey based on weather forecasts, heading towards the best possible locations to see the lights.

Sometimes, chasing the lights becomes part of the adventure. If we are fortunate enough to witness this magical display, it will be an unforgettable moment. However, if we don't find them, there will be another opportunity to try.

During the tour, we provide complimentary photos, cozy Icelandic wool blankets, hot chocolate, and delicious Icelandic pastries.

To ensure a more intimate experience, we travel in a minibus, allowing for smaller group sizes (maximum of 19 people), and avoiding crowded areas to find the best vantage point.

Includes

  • Pick-up and drop off
  • English-speaking guide
  • Minibus ride
  • Hot chocolate
  • Wool blankets to borrow
  • Kleina (icelandic donut)
  • Free photos

Not suitable for

  • Children under 5 years
