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

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 that lights the night sky in green, pink, and purple shades.

Iceland's location near the Arctic Circle and the long, dark winter nights provide ideal conditions, especially from September to April when the country experiences clear skies.

Your driver will take you out of Reykjavik and away from the city's light pollution to find them. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, so you will not be guaranteed to see them during your tour.

However, your guide has access to aurora and weather forecasts and lots of local knowledge, so you will know the 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.

Wrap up warm in waterproof clothing and warm layers, as the weather in Iceland can be changeable during winter, with temperatures dropping below freezing. Blankets are available for you to use during the tour to help you stay cozy.

Enjoy stargazing in Iceland's clear skies as you wait for the northern lights to appear.

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 fantastic memories of a unique Christmas Eve, searching for the northern lights.
