About

Set off on a cozy small-group Northern Lights hunt as your guide leads you away from Reykjavík’s city lights and into the darker countryside. Traveling in a comfortable 16-seat minibus allows for a more personal, relaxed experience as your guide monitors cloud cover and aurora forecasts to find the most promising viewing location of the night.

During the journey, enjoy complimentary hot chocolate, tea, and water, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere on board. To make the evening even more special, each guest receives a small Icelandic surprise-a unique touch you won’t find on standard aurora tours.

When the conditions look right, step out into the crisp night air to watch the sky for the magical appearance of the Aurora Borealis. Your guide will offer photo tips, share stories, and help you understand the science and legends behind the lights. Enjoy plenty of time to view, photograph, and take in the moment before heading back to Reykjavík.
