Description

Experience the magic of the beautiful northern lights and get professional photos to remember the moment when you book this immersive small-group tour. Those eager to see the aurora borealis, get some gorgeous pictures to treasure, and sample some delicious Icelandic treats will love this excursion.

Your tour starts when your guide picks you up from the meeting point in Reykjavik. The meeting point could be your accommodation or a nearby bus stop. You'll meet the other guests on the tour and settle down on the comfortable minibus for the journey.

This excursion is a small-group tour with a maximum of 14 guests, so you'll have plenty of chances to ask your guide questions and learn more about the northern lights. The driver will take you away from the city's light pollution to a great viewpoint.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and there can be no guarantee you'll see them. However, your guide is an expert who knows where you will have the best chance of seeing them. They'll look at aurora forecasts and accurate cloud cover reports to maximize your chances of spotting the lights.

If you don't see them on the tour tonight, you can try the next day by participating in the trip again, free of charge.

When you arrive at the chosen location, your guide will give you a chair to sit in, and you can chat with the others in the group while a home-cooked meal is prepared for you. A vegan option is also available if you'd prefer.

The guide will give you a winter jumpsuit to keep you warm in the Icelandic weather. It's worth bringing warm clothing to wear underneath, including a warm hat, gloves, and a scarf.

During the tour, you'll enjoy cinnamon buns, homemade hot chocolate, and Icelandic spirits. Taste 12-year-old whisky or some volcanic vodka to keep you warm while waiting for the aurora borealis.

The tour can last between three and six hours, depending on when the lights appear. As you watch the northern lights, your professional photographer guide will photograph you standing under the lights. These are great souvenirs to remember the evening and share on social media.

At the end of the tour, you'll return to the meeting point in Reykjavik and can go to your hotel or accommodation for a good night's rest.

Don't miss the incredible experience of watching the northern lights over the magnificent landscape of Iceland while you enjoy some traditional food and drinks. Check availability now by choosing a date.
