Ring in the New Year with an unforgettable adventure under the Arctic skies with this five-hour guided northern lights tour from Reykjavik. Those who want to celebrate Iceland’s winter beauty while enjoying refreshments, warm blankets, free photos, and the elusive aurora borealis should book a spot on this guided tour now.
The tour begins with a convenient roundtrip transfer from Reykjavik. You’ll be picked up from your accommodation or the nearest designated tour bus stop on the evening of December 31st.
The journey takes you far from the city lights, where the chances of seeing the northern lights increase. Reykjavik’s New Year’s Eve celebrations create a unique ambiance, but the best aurora sightings await in Iceland’s tranquil countryside.
This group tour is perfect for those who enjoy shared experiences without the hassle of large crowds. You’ll travel in comfort to the best viewing locations based on the night’s weather conditions and aurora forecasts.
The experience is led by an experienced guide who will warm the night with exciting information and stories. Flexibility is key, as the guides carefully monitor the skies and adjust the route in search of clear skies and active lights.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are a breathtaking spectacle that dances across the winter sky in hues of green, pink, violet, red, and more colors. They are visible only under specific conditions, making every successful sighting a treasured memory.
If you spot them, they may appear in different shapes and intensities. Regardless if you see them in swirls, corona, bands, curtains, or other shapes, the colorful lights are breathtaking to see in person.
While waiting for the lights to appear, cozy up with complimentary hot chocolate and snacks. Blankets are provided to keep you warm during this winter night.
During the tour, the guide will also set up a camera to take professional photos of the auroras and your group, ensuring you can cherish the moment forever. Photos taken by the guide will be shared within seven days, allowing you to relive your adventure well into the new year.
If you bring your own camera, feel free to snap as many photos as you want.
Please note that this tour is weather-dependent. The weather forecast is assessed each day to decide if the tour will run. The decision is made by 17:00 (5 PM), and if the tour is canceled due to unfavorable conditions, you will be notified immediately.
After successfully viewing the northern lights, the guide will drop you off in Reykjavik, ready to cheer for another beautiful year.
