Northern Lights tour

Untouched Icelandic nature and the amazing Northern Lights. Go off the beaten track in this tour to escape the city lights and other tour buses and see the Aurora borealis in all its glory!

The Northern Lights are an incredible natural phenomenon and we definitely understand why this is on the top of the to-do list for so many of our guests. For the highest possible chance of experiencing the aurora, it can be a good idea to do a guided tour, as you will be led by a local Northern Lights expert into the night.

We choose this the ‘small group’ Northern Lights excursion to be featured on our page as it’s led by very capable & knowledgeable individuals and we have had nothing but amazing feedback. Explore Iceland in the luxury of a comfortable small mini bus on a quest for the spectacular and unique show put on by the Northern Lights.

Please note: Northern Light tours are only available from August 25th. – April 15th.
