Your guide monitors real-time weather and aurora forecasts to lead you to the best viewing spots near Reykjavik. The flexible plan ensures the best chance to witness the northern lights in Iceland within just a few hours.
Each night is unique, with the vehicle taking you along quiet backroads and through beautiful rural areas far from the city.
The northern lights season in Iceland typically runs from September or October to April, when long, dark nights and clear skies offer the best conditions for aurora activity. Clear nights and minimal clouds create perfect opportunities to see nature’s most colorful light show.
Once your guide finds the right spot, step into the crisp night air and wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Enjoy a comforting cup of hot cocoa and chocolate as you wait for the show to begin. The quiet moment makes it easy to take in the beauty of Iceland’s winter night.
When the aurora appears, ribbons of green, violet, or red drift across the sky. Your guide uses a professional night camera to capture your northern lights moment so you can take home a keepsake of this magical night.
With a small group of travelers, you’ll stand under Iceland’s starlit sky, watching colors ripple above in complete silence.
Since the aurora borealis is a natural phenomenon, sightings are never guaranteed. If luck isn’t on your side, you’ll receive a free retry valid for three years, giving you another chance to experience Iceland’s most magical night.
After a successful hunt for the northern lights, you'll be dropped off back in Reykjavik.
