Northern Lights Tour in Reykjavik

Leave Reykjavík behind and escape into Iceland’s winter wilderness on a Northern Lights tour created for travellers who value comfort, expert guidance, and the best possible chance of witnessing the Aurora Borealis.

Travel aboard a spacious, modern comfort coach equipped with onboard Wi-Fi and restroom facilities. Throughout the evening, our experienced local team monitors live weather conditions, cloud cover, and aurora activity to find the most promising viewing locations.

What truly sets this experience apart is our team of passionate local Northern Lights hunters, praised by guests for their knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to read Iceland’s constantly changing skies. Our guide Daniel, has even been described in verified guest reviews as an “Aurora Whisperer” for his dedication and talent for finding the lights in challenging conditions.

Unlike tours that follow the same route every night, each departure is planned according to real-time conditions. By combining years of local experience with live aurora and weather forecasts, our guides can adjust the route throughout the evening in search of darker skies, clearer conditions, and stronger activity.

Even when conditions are challenging, our local hunters are known for going the extra mile. They may explore several locations and continue searching after others have already given up, always aiming to give the group the best possible opportunity to see the Northern Lights.

Along the way, your guide will explain the science behind the Aurora, how forecasts work, and why each location has been selected. You’ll also receive practical photography tips and recommended settings for your camera or smartphone. When the lights appear, you’ll have time to capture unforgettable photos beneath the Icelandic night sky.

Far from Reykjavík’s light pollution, watch for shimmering green ribbons and dancing curtains moving across the darkness. While waiting for the sky to come alive, enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and the peaceful atmosphere of Iceland’s winter landscape.

As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, if the Aurora does not appear during your tour, you may join one additional scheduled departure free of charge, subject to availability. We recommend booking early during your stay in Iceland.

More than a comfortable coach tour, this is a genuine Northern Lights hunt led by passionate local hunters. With live forecasting, flexible routing, photography assistance, and guides consistently praised by guests, every detail is designed to create an unforgettable night beneath Iceland’s winter sky.
