Christmas Day Northern Lights Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

Celebrate the wonders of Christmas with a five-hour northern lights tour from Reykjavik, offering a unique way to experience Iceland's holiday magic. This Christmas evening promises cozy comforts like warm blankets, hot drinks, and cookies for the most festive adventure to remember.

The tour begins with a convenient pick-up from Reykjavik. Whether from your accommodation or a nearby tour bus stop, you'll be whisked away in the evening to seek out Iceland's most mesmerizing natural display.

Afterward, your group will escape the city's glow and venture into the crisp, clear night, chasing the elusive aurora borealis with the guidance of an experienced expert. This guide will share insights into Icelandic nature and offer helpful photography tips to capture the magical night sky.

The tour avoids set routes, instead adjusting based on real-time forecasts and weather conditions for the best chance of catching the lights. With an ever-changing aurora forecast, no two tours are the same.

Your guide's knowledge of cloud cover, solar activity, and optimal viewing conditions ensures you'll head to the most promising locations. These may range from quiet beaches to remote valleys and mountain backdrops, far from the city's light pollution. 

Experiencing the northern lights on Christmas Day adds an extra layer of enchantment. Seeing the vibrant ribbons of green dance across the Arctic sky feels like nature's gift, a celestial celebration of the season.

In addition, the beautiful landscapes of the Icelandic countryside make the perfect backdrop for the aurora borealis. At the height of winter, the terrain may be covered by vast blankets of snow. 

While the auroras are never guaranteed, patience is part of the experience. You can relax with cozy blankets, sip on hot cocoa, and enjoy Icelandic cookies while awaiting the lights to appear. 

Auroras often come in unpredictable waves, sometimes fleeting and other times lingering for longer displays. Their colors range from soft green to vibrant purples, with shapes shifting like curtains or spirals across the sky.

Once you see the lights gracing the skies, your guide will photograph you and your group. You will receive copies of these images via email within seven days after the tour.

After a festive Christmas Day, the guide will drop you off back in Reykjavik, marking the end of this five-hour tour.

Please note that by 17:00 (5:00 PM), the tour operator will check the weather and aurora forecasts to decide if the tour can go ahead. If the conditions aren't favorable, you'll be notified and offered the option to reschedule or join the tour the following night.

Meanwhile, if the tour proceeds and the lights still don't show, you'll be offered a free retry on another night, giving you another chance to witness this extraordinary phenomenon.
