Private 4-Hour Luxury Northern Lights Photography Tour from Akureyri

Catch the beauty of the aurora borealis and immortalize the moment by joining this luxury northern lights photography tour. This private 4-hour adventure takes travelers on a northern lights hunting experience with a top-rated guide.

The action begins when a guide picks you up from your Akureyri accommodation. You'll ride a private, comfortable vehicle that will take you away from the city's bright lights and into the countryside, where the best chances of catching the northern lights await.

With their experience in northern lights hunting and photography, the guide knows the best spots for catching the visual spectacle. One of the keys to seeing the northern lights is to be as far away from the city as possible, where the skies are bright and free of light pollution.

As this is a private tour, it may just be you and your group at the location!

The northern lights typically appear as dynamic ribbons of green, but they can also display pink, red, yellow, blue, and violet hues. The color variations are due to the type of gas particles involved in the collisions. 

The lights often begin as a faint glow on the horizon, gradually intensifying and spreading across the sky in shimmering curtains of light. This dynamic display can last for several minutes or even hours, with the lights dancing and swirling in ever-changing patterns. Capturing the best images can be tricky, considering how complex the northern lights are.

Thankfully, the guide will provide photography tips to help you capture the best photos possible. They will also assist you in properly positioning your camera and making the necessary tweaks and adjustments.

Apart from the opportunity to take pictures of the northern lights, this tour also lets you into the tales behind the aurora borealis. The guide will share legends about the northern lights and how they came about. As you listen to the stories, you can relax and enjoy the views while sipping a cup of hot chocolate and having a bite of local biscuits.

Keep in mind that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon that depends heavily on current weather conditions. There are days when the northern lights won't appear in the sky even after hours of waiting. In such cases, you'll get a free retry the next day with a non-photography tour.

At the end of the tour, the private guide will take you back to your hotel in Akureyri with the photos and memories of the majestic northern lights you've just witnessed.

Don't miss this chance to experience one of the world's most fascinating natural wonders through a private photography tour featuring the northern lights. Check availability now by choosing a date.
