Description

Experience the thrill of an off-road northern lights adventure on this exclusive four-hour tour from Reykjavik. With cozy refreshments, blankets, and free photos included, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable journey into Iceland’s rugged wilderness, chasing one of nature’s most stunning phenomena.

The tour begins with an evening pick-up from the nearest tour bus stop to your accommodation in Reykjavik. From there, you’ll leave the bright city lights behind as your expert guide takes you on a thrilling off-road journey into Iceland’s untouched landscapes. 

You’ll ride in a specially equipped minibus or truck designed for small groups. This capable vehicle allows you to explore areas that are inaccessible to larger vehicles, such as large buses, giving you a unique advantage in your northern lights hunt. 

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. 

The off-road journey itself is part of the adventure, taking you through snowy paths or rugged terrains. Far from the crowds and light pollution, you’ll increase your chances of spotting the elusive lights.

Your guide, an expert in aurora hunting, will lead you to the best possible viewing locations based on weather conditions and aurora forecasts. Whether you end up near a hidden mountain pass or a beautiful valley, the remote setting ensures an unspoiled view of the northern lights. 

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.

Please note that sighting of the northern lights is not 100% guaranteed. Its appearance as a natural phenomenon will depend on weather and sky conditions. 

With its off-road excitement, personalized attention, and the best possible viewing locations, this small-group tour offers a unique and intimate way to experience Iceland’s aurora borealis. Check availability now by choosing a date.
