Small-Group 5-Hour Northern Lights Hunting Tour from Reykjavik with Pictures

Witness the magical spectacle of the aurora borealis with this small-group northern lights hunting tour departing from Reykjavik. Travelers visiting Iceland in the winter who want to maximize their chance of seeing the northern lights will love this premium aurora borealis tour with a small-group guarantee.

The tour begins with a pick-up in Reykjavik. Your expert local guide for the evening will collect you in a 4x4 minibus that can access remote locations more easily than a regular vehicle. 

Traveling in a 4x4 will increase your chances of seeing the northern lights as you’ll be able to get off the beaten track and further from the city’s light pollution.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and only appear in the sky between September and April. There’s no guarantee you’ll see them during your trip to Iceland, as they don’t appear every night. However, looking for them as part of a tour helps your chances.

Your guide will have access to up-to-date aurora forecasts and weather reports, which can help you avoid cloud cover and ensure you have the best chance of seeing the lights. They’ll take you to remote locations away from other travelers and with beautiful views.

The driver will park the minibus and provide hot drinks and snacks to keep you warm and comfortable while you wait for the lights to appear. They’ll point out constellations and planets in the sky and tell you more about the phenomenon of the northern lights as you sip a hot chocolate or mulled wine.

If the lights appear, you’ll be amazed at the incredible colors dancing in the sky above you. Bright greens and yellows will fill the night sky and create a magnificent natural display. Pink, purple, red, orange, and blue lights can also appear. You never know what colors you might see.

Witnessing the northern lights is an unforgettable experience, but you’ll also want to take some photos to help you commemorate the magic. Your guide can help you with your camera settings to capture spectacular images. They’ll also give you a tripod to use so you can keep your camera steady.

The guide will even take professional pictures of you as the northern lights shine above you. You’ll receive a free download link to access them after the tour.

After a brilliant few hours, you’ll return to your accommodation in Reykjavik for a good night’s sleep.
