Full description

The Aurora Borealis is a must-see in Iceland, and our Northern Lights tour in Iceland is designed to make this experience both accessible and memorable. We start with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik. Our 4x4 buses are built to handle Iceland's challenging terrain, ensuring we can take you to the most remote spots, away from city lights, where your chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis are highest.

As you leave Reykjavik, the landscape opens to vast, snow-covered areas. The drive itself is an opportunity to witness Iceland's natural beauty. Our guides will share insights into how the Northern Lights occur, blending scientific facts with local Icelandic folklore.

Once we reach our destination, you'll step into the crisp night air. To keep you comfortable, we provide hot chocolate and traditional Icelandic pastries. Hand warmers are also available, ensuring you stay cozy while waiting for the lights to appear. These small comforts allow you to focus on the experience without worrying about the cold.

We limit our tour group sizes to create a more personalized experience. With fewer people, you'll have more opportunities to engage with the guides, ask questions, and fully appreciate the surroundings. The small group size also means more space and a quieter atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience.

When the Northern Lights finally appear, they are a sight to behold. Our trained guides will assist in capturing photos of the lights and your experience.

The tour typically lasts four hours and runs nightly from September to April, during the best viewing season for the Northern Lights. Understanding that Iceland's weather can be unpredictable, we offer flexible rescheduling options if conditions aren't ideal for viewing the lights on your chosen night.

Your safety is our priority. Our 4x4 buses are equipped to handle Iceland's rugged terrain, and our guides are experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring a secure and comfortable journey. Knowing you're in good hands, you can enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

After the tour, we will drive you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik. This allows you to relax and reflect on the night's adventure, taking with you the memories of seeing one of nature's most impressive displays.

Our tour offers a balanced experience, combining the thrill of chasing the Northern Lights with the comfort of being guided by experts. It's designed to be both informative and enjoyable, making it a great choice for anyone looking to witness the Aurora Borealis in Iceland. Reserve your spot today and prepare for a night you won't forget.
