Description

Indulge yourself in a luxurious evening getaway in Iceland on this private northern lights hunting on a super jeep from Reykjavik. Travelers keen on seeing the breathtaking aurora borealis while enjoying complimentary chocolate refreshments should book this winter adventure today.

This sightseeing adventure begins from your desired pick-up location in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. You can set it to your accommodation or at a designated tour pick-up point within the city. You'll meet your friendly tour guide here, who'll lead you on an unforgettable trip.

Your group will ride in a super jeep, ideal for Iceland's snowy or rugged terrain in winter. Unlike buses or regular cars, a super jeep can take you deeper into the wilderness while keeping you safe and comfortable.

Once settled in, the journey takes you to the outskirts of Reykjavik in Southwest Iceland. Outside cities and towns, your chance of seeing the northern lights is higher because of lesser or no light pollution.

The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are natural phenomena in the Earth's northern polar region. Travelers consider it the holy grail of sky-watching events because of its rarity and immense beauty.

The most recognizable feature of the aurora borealis is its magical lights that appear in different colors and shapes. While the lights can emerge in shades of red, yellow, pink, and violet, its most common color is green. Regardless of the color and shape you see during your trip, the northern lights remain one-of-a-kind.

Your guide may take you to several locations to hunt for the northern lights. With years of experience, the tour guide knows the best places to visit to ensure you'll bask in the colorful lights during your evening adventure.

While waiting for the lights to appear, the guide will serve you hot chocolate drinks and local Icelandic chocolates. These refreshments are perfect for couples or small families and groups of friends who want to enjoy Icelandic food culture while relaxing. 

In addition, since this is a private tour, you'll enjoy a more peaceful and private getaway away from the usual tourist crowds.

With the right weather conditions, you don't have to wait long to marvel at the spectacular lights. Once you spot them in the night skies, a visual treat of a dancing curtain of colors will welcome you. Don't forget to take photos while enjoying the view because they only last a few minutes.

Although Iceland is one of the best places to hunt for the aurora borealis, seeing them during your tour is not assured. The lights are natural phenomena that require good weather conditions. Fortunately, you can reschedule your excursion if the guide evaluates unfavorable sighting conditions during your tour date.

After a satisfying night of hunting for the northern lights, you'll return to Reykjavik with unforgettable memories and photos.
