Luxury 3-Hour Northern Lights Private Tour in a Super Jeep from Akureyri

Experience the magic of the northern lights in luxury with this private super jeep tour from Akureyri. North Iceland travelers seeking the perfect northern lights hunting experience should grab their spot on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

This excursion begins when your private driver picks you up from your accommodation in Akureyri. The luxury jeep you travel in is spacious, comfortable, and designed for crossing the bumpy trails other vehicles can’t, maximizing your chances of finding a spot away from the crowds.

You’ll leave the city lights of Akureyri and enter the dark nature of North Iceland by night. The key to a perfect aurora borealis viewing is to escape any light pollution, and your driver knows all the best spots in the area.

You have no set route today, as your guide will seek a place with little cloud cover. However, North Iceland’s nature, with its mountains, waterfalls, lakes, geothermal areas, and woodlands, provides a great foreground for the northern lights wherever you stop.

As you travel, you’ll hear tales from Icelandic folklore and information on the northern lights. As this is a private tour, you can ask your guide any questions you like without worrying about the needs of other guests.

Once you’ve reached the perfect spot to watch the aurora borealis, you’ll step out of the luxury jeep and allow your eyes to adjust to the dark. You’ll get Icelandic snacks and a warm drink to keep you comfortable while you wait for the northern lights to appear.

Sometimes, the aurora borealis may already be on full display, while it might fade in and out on other nights. Every northern lights trip is different. 

The colors vary, with green being the most common color but purple, blue, and red appearing on particularly intense nights. The lights can also appear as drifting clouds, dancing shapes, and pulsing rays.

Your guide will take professional photographs of the northern lights so you can take the time to admire them. If you wish to purchase these pictures, they can also get some of you and your group against the aurora borealis.

As they are a natural phenomenon, the northern lights have a small chance of not appearing. If so, you’ll get another opportunity to take this tour. If it is unlikely they will show up due to weak activity or excessive cloud cover, you will be alerted during the day and can reschedule.

After a magical experience watching the northern lights, you’ll return to your luxury jeep and return to Akureyri.
