Northern Lights Bus Tour from Reykjavik

Jump aboard this affordable northern lights bus tour from Reykjavik and chase the aurora borealis across the Icelandic countryside. With professional local guides leading the way, you’ll be taken to the best viewing spots far from the city lights.

The tour begins at BSI Bus Terminal in Reykjavik. For added convenience, you can also choose pickup from a location near your hotel in Reykjavik for an additional fee.

Over the course of about 3.5 hours, your driver and guide will monitor cloud cover and solar activity to decide where the skies are clearest. Each night’s route is unique, giving you the highest chance of seeing the northern lights while in Iceland.

Each time they emerge, the aurora dances differently and in ever-changing colours. Most of the time, they will appear green, but they can also be purple, pink, red, white, or blue, depending on their strength and the atmospheric conditions. Your northern lights experience will be entirely unique, and all the more special for it.

While Iceland is one of the most accessible and reliable places in the world to see the northern lights, it's the solar winds and cloud cover that dictate whether or not they will show. Your best chance of catching them will be on a clear night.

Because of this, the tour is weather-dependent. If the auroras are not expected to be visible, the tour will not run. If you join the tour and the lights do not appear, you are welcome to join the tour again another night, free of charge.

This northern lights guided tour is carbon-neutral and operated on modern coaches with free Wi-Fi. An audio guide is available in English and Spanish to make the journey even more engaging. Be sure to dress warmly in layers, as you will step outside the bus to enjoy the best views of the northern lights.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to see this incredible natural wonder and give yourself a magical winter night in Iceland. Check availability by choosing a date and reserve your spot for this popular northern lights bus tour from Reykjavik today!
