Private 4-Hour Northern Lights Hunting Tour From Reykjavik in Car or Minibus

Experience one of the world’s natural wonders in this private four-hour northern lights hunting tour from Reykjavik. Those looking to explore the nature of Iceland with a personal guide while enjoying the breathtaking light display will be overwhelmed with the beauty of this experience. 

The aurora borealis hunting trip begins at 10 p.m. at your hotel or a designated bus stop if you’ve picked the minibus option. Since this is a private tour, start times can be adjusted — the provider can be flexible if needed.

Your driver guide will consult with a team of experts before arriving at the pick-up location to find the place with the best chances of spotting the aurora borealis. They’ll consult a cloud forecast regularly to be well aware of changing weather conditions. 

Seeing the northern lights can often be tricky in busy urban areas, but booking this tour will give you access to an expert team to ensure the best possible outcome.

Although you can sometimes view the northern lights in Reykjavik, the city lights can often interfere with visibility. Witnessing the dancing colors is not something you’ll want to miss, and the best place to ensure you get the experience is away from the city, under a dark sky, surrounded by nature.

While your driver guide takes you to the chosen location, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful sights of Iceland at night. Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions about the northern lights or sights you see on your way to the viewing location.

Once you reach your destination, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the vibrant lights as they dance across the sky in different shapes and patterns. The aurora borealis usually appear in green, but they can also light the sky with colors such as blue, pink, yellow, and red. It’s a unique experience every time they appear.

Unfortunately, given that this is a natural phenomenon, visibility is never a guarantee. Those who aren’t lucky enough to see the northern lights on their tour will get a ticket to try again for free on another night. 

While it’s possible to view the northern lights from late August until April, the optimal time to view them is between September and March. During these times, you’ll have the best odds of seeing them.

After a hopefully successful trip to view the northern lights, your driver will return you to the hotel or bus stop where you boarded. The tour generally lasts four hours, including pick-up and drop-off. However, return times vary depending on specific conditions, such as the chosen location for your tour.
