With the right weather conditions and a bit of luck, you don't have to wait long to see the highlight of your trip. When the lights appear, don't forget to take photos as you admire them, as they usually only last a few minutes. The guide will happily assist you if you need assistance capturing the northern lights.

Since this is a private tour, your group will be the only participants during the trip. You can ask the guides questions as they explain the science and traditional Icelandic stories behind the phenomenon. In addition, they will serve complimentary hot chocolate and doughnuts to keep you warm.

Please note that although Iceland is one of the best places to see the aurora borealis, sighting it during your tour isn't guaranteed. It remains a natural phenomenon that requires the right weather and sky conditions.
