Sky Lagoon and Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik

Relax at an oceanside geothermal spa and hunt for the northern lights in the evening on this Sky Lagoon and northern lights tour from Reykjavik. The tour combines geothermal bathing with the chance to see the aurora borealis.

This tour brings together two experiences without the need to plan anything yourself. With entry, transport, and northern lights guiding included, it is an easy way to enjoy both relaxation and adventure in a single day.

Your tour begins with a bus ride from Reykjavik to Sky Lagoon in Kopavogur, just 4.7 miles (7.5 kilometers) from the city center. This oceanside geothermal spa combines modern design with Icelandic nature, overlooking the North Atlantic.

From the infinity edge of the lagoon, you can see Keilir Mountain and the coastline while the warm water relaxes you. At the heart of the experience is the Skjol Ritual, a seven-step spa ritual inspired by Icelandic bathing traditions.

You move between the warm lagoon, a cold plunge, a sauna, a cool mist, and a mineral-rich body scrub before finishing in a steam room.

You can also order a drink from the swim-up bar and light snacks from the cafe before the evening's northern lights tour.

As night falls, you return to Reykjavik, where a local guide takes you on a northern lights hunt.

Each night, the location is chosen based on the weather and aurora forecasts. You travel away from the city lights to a quiet, dark area where the skies are clearest and the chances of seeing the aurora are highest.

The northern lights appear as waves of green, pink, and violet light across the sky, caused by charged solar particles interacting with the Earth's atmosphere.

Your guide tells you about the phenomenon and helps you take photos of the northern lights.
