Comfortable 5-Hour Northern Lights Hunt in a Super Jeep with Transfer from Reykjavik

Hunt for the northern lights in a modified super jeep on this evening tour from Reykjavik, leaving the city lights and big tour buses behind, with hot cocoa and free photos.

You travel in a custom-built 4x4 super jeep. Once everyone is on board, you leave the city lights behind and head into the dark Icelandic countryside.

The super jeep can travel on country roads off the beaten track, so you can enjoy the northern lights away from light pollution and big crowds. Your guide checks the weather and aurora forecasts on the day to decide where to go, and points out the sights along the way, even in the dark.

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, appear when charged particles from the sun enter the Earth's magnetic field and collide with gases in the atmosphere. They usually appear about 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. Iceland lies just south of the Arctic Circle, which makes it one of the best places in the world to see them.

Once you find the right spot, you wait for the lights to appear. You can wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa with a chocolate treat while your guide tells you about the northern lights.

If no northern lights are seen, you can join the tour again for free as many times as you like within 3 years.
