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.

The tour was great!! We had totally clear skies, but a low solar index. Elias did everything he could to help find the northern lights, taking us to 4 different spots throughout the night. When we did find them, Elias went above and beyond taking pictures for all of us and showing us how to set up our own phones and cameras to capture the best shots. He let us take as much time as we wanted, offering us all hot chocolate and donuts. Would recommend this tour to everyone looking for a nice small group setting to chase down the northern lights!!
