As you venture deeper into the countryside, you’ll feel the excitement build, but don’t forget to dress for the occasion. Icelandic weather, especially in winter, can be unpredictable and harsh, so it’s essential to wear warm layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy boots.

Your guide will also share fascinating facts and stories about the auroras, adding to the experience. Feel free to ask them questions anytime.

The tour offers plenty of comfort as you wait for the auroras to appear. You’ll be provided with blankets to stay warm, along with hot chocolate and a traditional Icelandic pastry to enjoy under the stars. 

If the conditions are right, you don’t have to wait long. As the aurora borealis finally lights up the sky, you’ll be mesmerized by the swirling greens, purples, or pinks dancing across the darkness. The sight is a breathtaking reminder of the beauty and power of nature.

To help you relive this elusive moment, your guide will also take free photos of you and the auroras, ensuring that you leave with memories to last a lifetime. 

After an unforgettable off-road adventure with the northern lights, the guide will drop you off back in Reykjavik.
