Incredible 4-Hour Northern Lights Hunting with Photos and Viking Props from Reykjavik

Experience Iceland's most incredible winter display by booking a spot on this northern lights hunting tour from Reykjavik. Travelers who want to bask in the colorful lights of the aurora borealis and take home photos of this experience should join this excursion today.

This small group tour in Iceland begins late in the evening in the beautiful city of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel or at a designated tour meeting point for your convenience.

On board a minibus that accommodates up to 16 passengers, you'll head into the snowy wilderness outside the city. This small number of tour participants gives you a better and more personal tour experience compared to crowded big bus sightseeing tours.

Away from huge settlements like Reykjavik, the chance of seeing the aurora borealis is higher. In particular, no city lights and pollution will interfere with the skies, where you can freely marvel at the natural phenomena.

Locals and travelers often consider the northern lights as the highlight of the winter season. Apart from their incomparable beauty, the seasonal and rare chance of spotting the magical lights makes them more appealing to most people.

The most common color of the northern lights is green, but occasionally, shades of red, yellow, pink, and violet would appear. They also don't take a specific shape, although some typical appearances are in curtain and arc formations.

Your friendly guide will tell stories and trivia about the northern lights as you hunt and wait for them to appear. At any point during the trip, you're free to ask the guide about anything related to Iceland and the winter attraction. 

To make the experience more enjoyable, take advantage of the Viking outfit and props the guide brought for the tour. Choose from the Vikings' cloaks, tunics, weapons, and more you can wear while taking photos. 

The guide will also take free pictures of you with a professional camera. You can request these images after the northern lights hunt.

With luck and the right weather conditions, your group doesn't have to wait long to spot the aurora borealis. Then once they come out, a breathtaking view of colorful lights dancing in the skies will fascinate you.

While taking in the scenery, the guide will serve you hot chocolate and gingerbread, perfect for the cold weather of Iceland.

However, please remember that seeing the northern lights during your tour is not assured. The lights are natural phenomena that require the right conditions. Fortunately, you can re-book for free multiple times until you see the aurora borealis.

After a successful four-hour northern lights hunting trip, you'll return to Reykjavik with memories and photos of a lifetime.
