Fantastic 2.5-Hour Northern Lights Classic Tour from Akureyri

Marvel over the beautiful northern lights during winter in North Iceland with this exciting evening tour from Akureyri. Those wishing to see the aurora borealis in a breathtaking setting should not hesitate to book their seats now.

This tour begins in the evening when your friendly local guide picks you up from your Akureyri accommodation. Once you and your group are acquainted, you’ll set out into the dark nature of North Iceland to start your northern lights hunt.

Your guide is an expert at finding the aurora borealis, knowing the local landscapes and keeping up-to-date with the weather patterns. They can also tell you about the surrounding nature and answer any questions you have about the northern lights or the country.

The best spots for watching the northern lights are those far from light pollution, so they are not outshone, with as little cloud cover as possible. Therefore, there is no set destination. However, there are plenty of incredible options available.

Godafoss waterfall, for example, will allow you to watch the auroras over a beautiful cascade. The fjord of Eyjafjordur may let you marvel over the northern lights as they are reflected in the sea, while the Trollaskagi peninsula provides a dramatic, mountainous foreground.

The northern lights are dynamic and may appear at any time. You may see them from the windows as you travel, or you may have to wait for your eyes to adjust to the darkness of your viewing location before they show.

Each display of the aurora borealis is different, but all are beautiful. They may appear as quickly dancing lights, descend from the stars like a colorful rain, or drift above like celestial clouds.

Usually, the auroras are vivid green but often purple and occasionally a range of other colors. 

You can focus on taking in the moment while your guide takes professional photos of the northern lights and your group. At the end of the tour, you are welcome to buy a collection of these pictures, which will be emailed to you.

To avoid wasting your time, this tour will only proceed if there is a good chance of seeing the northern lights. If the lights do not appear, you’ll get another tour to ensure a fantastic viewing experience.

At the end of a successful northern lights tour, your guide will take you back to Akureyri.
