Private 5-Hour Northern Lights Tour at the Golden Circle with Transfer from Reykjavik

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when you join this five-hour northern lights tour at the Golden Circle with a transfer from Reykjavik. Travelers who want to cross off this bucket-list activity and enjoy the breathtaking northern lights with a small group should take this tour. 

Your adventure begins in Reykjavik at your chosen pickup place. Make sure to be there at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time in the evening to avoid missing your ride. You'll also meet your English-speaking guide from Reykjavik, an expert at hunting the northern lights in Iceland. 

You'll be exploring Iceland at night, so expect a colder temperature than usual. Fortunately, drinks to warm your body, such as hot chocolate and the liquor Stroh 80, are included in this package. You'll also get to taste a popular Icelandic treat, Kleinur while waiting for the northern lights to appear.

On your part, make sure to wear warm and layered clothes, and add a warm coat, a hat, and a pair of mittens. As the tour will involve some trekking, wear good and sturdy shoes. You can also bring your camera and take a shot of the aurora borealis to remember this beautiful night. 

The aurora borealis is a natural phenomenon resulting from the sun's particles interacting with the earth's magnetic field. The most common northern light color is green. However, they can sometimes be pink, red, yellow, blue, and even purple. 

The best place to see the northern lights is away from the city lights, which can mask or dim their display. 

Your first stop in this northern lights tour of the Golden Circle is the Thingvellir National Park, the first UNESCO site in Iceland. Thingvellir is a famous location to see the northern lights. Apart from its beautiful nature, it's only 30 miles (48 kilometers) away from Reykjavik. 

If you couldn't see the northern lights at Thingvellir, don't worry, as you still have two attractions you'll visit to find them. 

After Thingvellir, your next stop is at the Geysir geothermal area. There are many geysers in this area, and prominent among them are Strokkur and Geysir. You may see the beautiful combination of the steams illuminated by the northern lights if you're lucky enough. 

Your last stop for the night is the Gullfoss waterfall, one of the most famous waterfalls in the country. Seeing the Gullfoss waterfall, with its two-level cascade and mighty waters, is already a breathtaking experience. However, seeing the northern lights above it makes it look more magical. 

Note that you'll be with your private guide during the whole private tour. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask them, as they'll be glad to help you. 

After visiting all three Golden Circle attractions and seeing the northern lights, you'll return to Reykjavik, officially ending the tour.
