Embark on an unforgettable four-hour private tour from Reykjavik to witness one of nature’s most stunning phenomena, the northern lights. This exclusive tour is designed for those seeking comfort and privacy while chasing the elusive aurora borealis across Iceland’s dark skies.
The tour begins in Reykjavik, with the convenience of pick-up from your accommodation or any other preferred location within the city. Whether you’re staying in the heart of Reykjavik or a surrounding area, your friendly chauffeur will ensure extra comfort to start your adventure.
Your guide or chauffeur is an experienced local. They know the best spots for viewing the northern lights and will tailor the tour to maximize your chances of seeing this natural wonder.
Unlike larger group tours, this private excursion provides a more intimate and personalized experience. You’ll travel in a luxury vehicle accommodating up to five passengers, offering added comfort and convenience as you journey away from the city lights.
The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by solar particles colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere. From this, beautiful displays of dancing colors across the sky are created.
These luminous lights often appear in shades of green and pink, though rarer hues like red, yellow, and violet can sometimes be seen. They also appear in different shapes and sizes, including coronas, arcs, bands, diffuses, or veils.
The tour takes you away from the light pollution of the city, where the Arctic skies provide the perfect backdrop for witnessing the northern lights in all their glory. The exact location is not set in stone because the driver-guide will find the best spot in the countryside for optimal sky viewing.
As you settle into a prime viewing spot, you’ll be treated to the enchanting sight of the northern lights shimmering overhead. Your guide will share insights into the science behind the lights and answer any questions you have to enrich your experience.
Onboard the luxury vehicle, you’ll find complimentary bottled Icelandic Glacial water and Wi-Fi. You can immediately post photos and videos of the lights as you enjoy viewing them.
Please note that even if Iceland is one of the best places to see the northern lights, they remain a natural phenomenon that can be elusive. In the event that the lights don’t make an appearance, you’ll receive tickets to the Northern Lights Show at the Perlan Museum in Reykjavik, which offers a stunning simulation of the auroras.
