If you’re spending Christmas in Iceland, a northern lights tour is a great way to spend the evening on Christmas Day. 

Your tour starts when your expert English-speaking guide picks you up from the agreed meeting point in Reykjavik. You’ll meet the other guests on the tour and get comfortable on board the coach as you set off in search of the northern lights. 

The northern lights in Iceland are a natural wonder many travelers hope to see during their vacation. 

This phenomenon, also known as the aurora borealis, happens when particles from the sun collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a glowing effect. This process releases energy, lighting the night sky with green, pink, and purple shades. 

Iceland’s location near the Arctic Circle and the long, dark winter nights offer ideal conditions, especially from September to April when skies are clearest. 

Popular viewing spots include areas far from city lights, so your driver will take you out of Reykjavik to find them. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and there are no guarantees you will see them. 

Your guide has access to aurora and weather forecasts and lots of local knowledge, so you will know the best places to go, giving you the best chance of seeing them.

There is a self-service selection of hot chocolate and snacks so you can help yourself while you wait for the aurora borealis to appear. 

The weather in Iceland during winter is cold and can be changeable, so be sure to wear waterproof clothing and warm layers. Blankets are available for you to use during the tour to help you stay cozy. 

You may have to wait for the lights to appear, so you can enjoy star gazing in Iceland’s clear skies as you wait. 

During the tour, your guide will take photographs of you and your party in front of the northern lights. You will receive an email with a link to download your pictures within seven days of the tour.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to the pick-up point in Reykjavik. You’ll leave with some fantastic memories of a unique Christmas Day.
