Good to know

This northern lights tour operates between September and April, when dark nights make aurora viewing possible in Iceland. Sightings depend on weather and solar activity, so the experience focuses on maximizing your chances rather than making guarantees.

If the northern lights do not appear during your tour, you can join the same tour again free of charge on another night. This makes booking early in your trip a smart choice, giving you more flexibility during your stay.

Warm clothing is essential, even if the coach is heated. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing a winter jacket, hat, gloves, and sturdy shoes to stay comfortable while waiting outdoors.

Weather and road conditions can affect the route and duration of the tour. Your guide may adjust plans during the evening to improve viewing conditions, always prioritizing safety and the overall experience.
