4-Hour Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour From Reykjavik

Hunt for the northern lights away from the city lights on this Super Jeep tour from Reykjavik, with hot chocolate, free photos, and free admission to Aurora Reykjavik: The Northern Lights Center.

Iceland is one of the best places to see the northern lights, which are visible in winter, between September and April, and depend on the weather and solar activity. To see them, you need to get away from the light pollution of the city.

Your guide picks you up at your hotel in the Reykjavik area in a Super Jeep, a vehicle built for off-road driving. A team of experts checks the weather and aurora forecast every day, and the direction of the tour is decided shortly before departure, based on the forecast.

The drive to the first stop usually takes up to an hour. While you wait for the lights, your guide serves hot chocolate, and adults can also try a local volcanic vodka.

With some luck, the aurora appears overhead. The displays are usually greenish-yellow, but white, red, and pink lights can also appear. To the naked eye, the lights often look like faint shades of light green, gray, and white, while a camera with a long exposure can capture more of their colors and details.

Your guide takes photos of the lights, and of you and your group, as part of a free photo service.

At the end of the evening, you return to Reykjavik.
