Small Group Northern Lights Tour With Transfer From Akureyri

Join an expert local guide on an exciting hunt for the famous northern lights in northern Iceland from the town of Akureyri! Book this incredible two to three-hour tour to discover the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis.

On this top-rated tour, you'll be picked up from your accommodation in Akureyri and dropped off there again once the tour has finished. Your driver will take you out of town and into the countryside to find the best spot to view the northern lights. 

Far away from the bright lights of the town, you have a great chance to enjoy the northern lights more brightly in all of their colorful beauty. These gems of the high north can shine bright in shades of green, red, yellow, blue, and violet on the lucky chasers who find them. Each experience is unique, memorable, and the definition of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

The landscapes around Akureyri make for some fantastic backdrops to the show of the northern lights. You can see the phenomenon occurring over Eyjafjordur fjord, the famous waterfall of Godafoss, or even at one of the unique geothermal areas like Namaskard Pass.

Your knowledgeable local guide will share Icelandic tales and stories during the journey on this magical tour. The tour also includes delicious hot chocolate to keep you warm (weather dependent). 

You'll have a chance to buy professional photographs of your night taken by your guide so you can admire the lights without feeling pressure to get amazing photos yourself. Your guide can also help you configure your camera or phone settings to obtain better images and will give you tips and tricks to get the best northern lights pictures possible.

This small-group tour has a maximum of 19 passengers and is conducted in a minibus, so you'll have ample opportunity to ask any questions.

Please note that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and there is no guarantee that you will see them during the tour. However, your guides have excellent knowledge of where you will have the best chance of seeing them and will take you there. They will also use weather apps and communicate with other tour guides to help you in the hunt.

If you don't see any northern lights, you will be offered a complimentary trip to try to see them again at your next convenience.
