Small-Group Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik with Free Photos and Refreshments

Experience the magic of Iceland’s winter nights with a four-hour northern lights tour departing from Reykjavik. This small-group adventure combines expert guidance, cozy comforts, and souvenir photos, offering a unique opportunity to chase the aurora borealis and create unforgettable memories.

Your journey begins with an evening pick-up in Reykjavik. A modern minibus with comfortable seats and free Wi-Fi will get you from your accommodation or its closest tour bus stop.

For added convenience, the tour provides a small-group setting led by an expert aurora hunter. 

With fewer passengers, this setup allows for a more intimate experience, giving you plenty of space and personalized attention throughout the evening.

On this tour, your expert guide will share captivating stories about Icelandic folklore surrounding the lights while explaining the science behind their formation. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to make the trip more engaging.

The northern lights are one of nature’s most mesmerizing displays, lighting up the Arctic sky with ribbons of green, pink, and occasionally purple hues. The auroras occur when solar particles collide with Earth’s atmosphere, creating a celestial dance visible only in high-latitude areas like Iceland. 

Chasing the auroras is an adventure in itself. The guide studies weather forecasts and aurora activity during the day to find the best viewing spots, often in remote locations away from city lights. 

Each evening is different. One night might bring you to the shores of a scenic lake, while another might lead you to a dramatic mountain vista under starry skies. It could be anywhere near Reykjavik but away from the light pollution.

Capturing the auroras on camera can be challenging, but your guide is ready to help. They’ll take high-quality photos of you under the glowing skies, ensuring you have a keepsake from this once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

Meanwhile, you can savor complimentary hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries while waiting for the lights to appear. These refreshments can add warmth and sweetness to the chilly evening.

While every effort is made to locate the auroras, the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, the tour’s starry sky, serene landscapes, and engaging stories make the journey worthwhile.

In the rare event the auroras don’t appear, you’ll receive a complimentary rebooking on a larger bus tour for another chance to witness their beauty.

After a successful hunt for the northern lights, the minibus will drop you off back in Reykjavik.
