Description

Look for the northern lights and explore the night sky with a telescope on this small-group tour from Reykjavik, away from the city lights.

Your guide picks you up at your accommodation in the Reykjavik area, where you meet your fellow travelers. You then leave the city behind and head off the beaten path to quiet places to look for the aurora.

Your guide uses real-time weather and space weather data to find the best viewing conditions. On location, your guide checks the sky and decides whether to stay or continue searching.

While you wait for the lights, you can look through a powerful telescope at the stars, the planets, and their moons. With a bit of luck, you may even see rare astronomical events such as meteor showers or a lunar eclipse.

Later in the evening, you get homemade Icelandic hot chocolate and pastries to keep you warm on the cold winter night.

Your guide also takes photos of you under the northern lights, free of charge, so you can look back on the night the next day.

At the end of the night, you return to Reykjavik.
