A private northern lights tour lets you enjoy the magic of the aurora at your own pace, without the rush. With more space and privacy, you can fully relax, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Arctic night.
On this northern lights tour, your expert guides take care of everything. Each night, they carefully study the weather and aurora forecasts to find the best viewing spots near Reykjavik. With years of experience chasing the aurora, they know exactly where to go for the best chance of seeing the lights.
Travel in a super jeep that takes you far beyond the city lights and into Iceland’s peaceful countryside. Unlike large bus tours, a super jeep allows access to remote areas and hidden viewing spots where you can enjoy wide-open skies and a clear view of the auroras.
The drive itself feels like part of the adventure as you travel through lava fields, mountains, and open plains under a sky full of stars.
The northern lights tour starts with an 8:00 PM pick-up from selected bus stops in Reykjavik. Once everyone is ready, your guide drives toward areas with the clearest skies. There may be short walks to get to the best viewpoints, so bring warm clothes and good shoes.
As the night deepens, the excitement grows. You’ll look up at the dark sky, waiting for the first hint of movement. Then, suddenly, the lights appear. Green ribbons dance across the sky, sometimes mixing with pink or purple hues. It’s quiet, beautiful, and unforgettable.
To make the moment even more special, your guide serves warm hot chocolate. It offers a taste of Brennivin, Iceland’s traditional schnapps made from fermented potatoes and flavored with caraway seeds.
The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings can never be guaranteed. However, your guide will always do their best to find clear skies and maximize your chances of success. Even if the lights don’t appear, the journey itself is magical, with starry skies, peaceful landscapes, and the thrill of the Arctic night.
This northern lights tour in Iceland runs from September to April, the best time of year to see the aurora. The most active hours are usually between 9:00 PM and 2:00 AM, and your guide will plan the trip around those peak viewing times.
After capturing photos and enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside, you’ll head back to Reykjavik, filled with excitement and memories of a true Icelandic adventure.
