Your adventure begins with a late-night pickup in Reykjavik, where you'll meet your local guide and fellow small-group travelers. Experience the thrill of leaving the bustling city lights behind as you venture off the beaten path in search of the perfect spot to witness the northern lights in the tranquil embrace of nature.

As you chase the auroras, the tour utilizes the aurora forecast to maximize your chances of witnessing this natural spectacle.

In case the lights decide to be elusive, the tour allows unlimited re-tries on different nights.

During your quest, enjoy the use of a powerful telescope to explore the stars and galaxies that adorn the night sky. With a bit of luck, you may even witness rare astrological events such as meteor showers or a lunar eclipse. 

As you spend a few hours outdoors, celebrate the beauty of nature with your travel companions, complemented by a complimentary scone and hot chocolate to keep you warm on the cold winter nights.

The adventure concludes with a drive back to Reykjavik City, where you can reflect on your experience and go through the stunning photos of the aurora borealis that you captured during the tour. 

This value-packed tour ensures a hassle-free experience, offering free pick-up at central Reykjavik bus stops, professional northern lights hunters, and a guided stargazing program with a telescope. With a guide-to-guest ratio of 1:19, the tour maintains a small group setting, prioritizing your comfort and enjoyment. Capture the moment with free quality photos taken by the guides and relive the experience the next day.

With a duration of 3-5 hours from pick-up to drop-off, the tour operates from September to April, starting at 9 to 9:30 p.m. The "Go/No Go" decision is made by meteorology experts at 6:30 pm, ensuring transparent communication regarding weather conditions.
