Witness the magic of the northern lights on this super jeep tour from Reykjavik. With a small group setting, a local expert guide, refreshments, and a powerful super jeep that can reach remote locations, this adventure offers the most immersive aurora hunting experience in Iceland.
Your journey begins in Reykjavik, where your guide will pick you up from your hotel or a nearby meeting point. Climb aboard a modified super jeep designed to handle Iceland’s rugged terrain, ensuring you can venture deep into the countryside.
The super jeep is also equipped with free Wi-Fi, warm blankets, and comfortable seating for extra comfort. This four-wheel drive provides the perfect base for an unforgettable night of aurora chasing.
Unlike fixed-route tours, this northern lights hunt is flexible. Your guide will carefully analyze real-time cloud cover and aurora activity forecasts to select the best viewing location for the night. This could take you to remote lava fields, hidden valleys, snowy mountain passes, or notable destinations like Thingvellir National Park.
As you travel through the dark, untouched landscapes, your guide will share fascinating insights into the science behind the northern lights. You’ll also hear Icelandic folklore and myths surrounding the auroras, adding a mystical touch to your journey.
When the northern lights finally appear, the sky transforms into a moving canvas of colors swirling above you. Shades of green are the most common, but with strong solar activity, hues of other colors are possible.
Sometimes, the auroras move gently like curtains in a breeze. Other times, they explode into vibrant waves. Regardless of color and shape, auroras remain breathtaking in all their forms.
In addition, your guide will help capture the perfect photos of you under the auroras, ensuring you have a lasting memory of this incredible moment.
To keep you warm and comfortable, hot chocolate and biscuits will be served, along with a special Icelandic drink to add a little extra warmth. You can also cozy up under soft wool blankets while enjoying the silence and beauty of the Arctic night.
After a successful hunt and viewing of the northern lights, your guide will drive you back to Reykjavik. You’ll be dropped off at your accommodation, concluding an unforgettable night of adventure.
While every effort is made to find the auroras, they are natural phenomena, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If you don’t see the lights on your tour, you’ll receive a complimentary rebooking on a standard northern lights bus tour, allowing you to try again as many times as needed until you witness this breathtaking display.
