Description

Experience a culinary journey like no other with this private northern lights dinner from Reykjavik. This exclusive experience is perfect for food lovers, stargazers, and anyone seeking a unique northern lights experience in Iceland.

Your guide will pick you up from your Reykjavik accommodation and take you toward the clearest skies forecasted for the night. Since the aurora only appears where there’s no cloud cover, the dinner location is never fixed. That’s part of the magic. You might find yourself dining inside a lava cave, beneath tall trees in a woodland, or on a glacier under the stars.

From Reykjavik, the night might bring you to the South Coast, Reykjanes Peninsula, or the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It’s an evening designed to delight your senses, from the first bite to the final glimpse of the night sky.

This private dining experience allows you to choose between an indulgent buffet or an elegant gala dinner, catering to your style. No matter the setup, every dish is crafted with care and creativity by your private chef.

The menu celebrates the best of Icelandic cuisine, with seasonal ingredients like Arctic char, slow-cooked lamb, and root vegetables. Whether you're craving comfort food or something refined, your meal will be paired with carefully selected Icelandic craft beers or exquisite wines from France and Italy.

Dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, kosher, or gluten-free are all easily accommodated.

Dine in style with carefully designed, weatherproof structures that provide cozy seating and optional heating. Even on the coldest nights, you'll be able to enjoy your meal in total comfort, surrounded by unspoiled nature and starlit skies.

To make the evening even more memorable, you can choose from optional activities at an extra cost. Enjoy live Icelandic music under the night sky, join a stargazing session with a local astronomer, or learn how to capture the aurora during a northern lights photography lesson. These add-ons are entirely up to you, allowing you to shape the night to match your interests.

Throughout this northern lights tour, your guide will also be your photographer, capturing candid moments and stunning scenery while you relax and enjoy the experience.

After your magical dinner under the aurora, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik. Each guest receives five professionally edited digital images, with the option to purchase more. Your photos will be delivered within 14 days, giving you lasting memories of this unforgettable experience.

Please note that this tour is tailored to you and the conditions of the day. Your guide may call you ahead of time to adjust the pickup schedule, giving you the best chance of seeing the aurora and enjoying ideal dinner conditions.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind evening in Iceland with this private dinner under the northern lights. Check availability by choosing a date.
