Mesmerizing 3-Hour Northern Lights Private Tour from Reykjavik

Witness one of the most mesmerizing aerial phenomena across Iceland’s winter skies on this northern lights tour from Reykjavik. This thrilling three-hour private adventure takes travelers to a remote area away from the city, where the best chances of seeing the aurora borealis await.

The action begins when a friendly local guide picks you up from the airport or your hotel in Reykjavik. You’ll ride a comfortable luxury vehicle that will safely take you to some of the best spots for northern lights hunting outside of Iceland’s capital.

Iceland is one of the world’s top destinations for witnessing the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis. This natural phenomenon occurs when solar particles collide with gasses in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating vibrant light displays in the night sky. In Iceland, the best time to see the northern lights is between September and April, when the nights are the longest and darkest.

Aside from the colder months, northern lights hunting also involves picking the best locations. One of the most crucial factors is staying far from light pollution from cities, streetlights, and buildings. Light pollution can easily diminish the intensity of the northern lights, making them harder to spot or even obscuring them entirely. 

To experience the aurora at its brightest, your knowledgeable guide will take you out of Reykjavik and into rural or remote areas where the skies are darkest. 

There is no single location for northern lights viewing. The best spots vary, depending on current weather conditions. Regardless of the area, your expert guide will drive you safely to the correct location.

During the trip, your guide will share stories and facts about the northern lights. Once you reach the perfect spot, you’ll alight from the vehicle and gaze at the visual spectacle in the night sky. 

You’ll see the northern lights showcase a stunning display of colors in different shades of green. However, these lights may faint and change, turning into shades of pink, purple, or even red, depending on the intensity of the solar activity.

Take note that the appearance of the northern lights is not guaranteed. Certain weather conditions may affect the sightings. As you enjoy the colorful show in the sky, take as many photos and videos as possible.

After savoring the beauty of the aurora borealis, you’ll return to your comfortable vehicle and head back to Reykjavik with the unforgettable memories of your northern lights hunt.
