Your adventure begins at the meeting point, the parking lot by Skulagata 8. Alternatively, you can add collection and drop-off at your accommodation. You'll meet your expert guide and drive out of the city to prevent light pollution from interfering with your view. 

The guide will choose a location carefully to increase your chances of spotting the aurora borealis. 

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, so there's no guarantee you'll see them. However, your guide will check detailed cloud coverage reports and a unique aurora forecast to make it more likely that you'll see the incredible natural display. 

You'll head deep into the Icelandic countryside, renowned for its unpolluted skies and optimal conditions for viewing the northern lights. 

During the journey, the guide will tell you about the science behind the aurora borealis, plus some fascinating facts about Iceland's geography and culture. Please note that this tour is conducted in Italian.

When you arrive at your viewing location, you'll leave the vehicle to enjoy the surrounding views. You can gaze up at the stars while waiting for the northern lights to appear. 

Temperatures will be cold, so wear many layers, including a hat and gloves. Your guide will provide blankets to help you stay warm.

If conditions are favorable, the majestic light show will begin. Under the Arctic sky, you'll witness a breathtaking display of vibrant colors dancing across the heavens. 

The radiant greens, purples, whites, and blues intertwine and ripple, creating a spectacle that will leave you in awe.

To make your tour even better, your guide will explain which settings to use on your camera to capture stunning photos of the northern lights. 

It can be challenging to take photos if you don't know how, but you'll increase your chances of getting a good picture with your guide's advice.

After an unforgettable few hours enjoying the beauty of the northern lights and the Icelandic countryside, your guide will take you back to Reykjavik, ready for a fun night out or a good night's rest.
