Highlights

• Northern lights hunt in a small group

Itinerary

The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by collisions between particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. In Iceland they are visible during the winter months, from late August to April, and appear in many different forms and colours although light green and pink are the most common. 

Why join a guided tour to see the northern lights in Iceland?
Our northern lights team studies thoroughly the weather and aurora forecast in order to find the best location each night to spot the lights. While the lights can often be seen from the city, they are never as clear or magnificent when polluted by the city lights. Getting a warm ride to the best possible site for sightings is well worth it. The northern lights are an unforgettable sight to witness and should be enjoyed in the best possible conditions.

Why join this tour?
This is a classic northern lights tour but in a smaller group. That means you get more time with your expert guide for assistance on photography and facts. 

Keep in mind
The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that indicated return times can vary.
The maximum group size for this tour is 25 people.  

Join this tour for a wonderful night of wonderful sights!

From 01.10.2022 - 31.03.2023, this tour will also be guided in Spanish on Saturdays.

  • FAQ:
    Why was the tour cancelled tonight?
    A team of experts considers the weather and aurora forecast every day to see if the conditions are favourable or not. If the odds are against the aurora being visible for some reason, we cancel the tour.
    If we cancel the tour and you are unable to attend at a later date you can get a refund. 
    How far away from the city do you go and where?
    The average time heading out to the first stop is usually within an hour. The direction of the tour is decided shortly before departure and based on the weather forecast.
    They took my voucher on the tour last night so I don't have my booking number.
    If you don't have your voucher in your email and no information about your booking number, please call us and have the information ready on when you were originally booked and under which name your tour was booked.
    When is the best time of the year to see the lights?
    From late August until mid-April.
    Why do I not see the lights as in the photos?
    The human eye usually sees the northern lights as faint colours of light green, grey and white. Camera sensors do not have our eye limitations as they have long exposure features and other factors.
