Tour description
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 fantastic idea to do a guided tour, as you will be led by a local Northern Lights expert into the night.
WHY I THINK YOU WILL LOVE THIS TOUR!
If you've made your way all the way to Iceland - then I believe it's a MUST for you to experience the magical Northern Lights.
But finding the Northern Lights can be tricky, which is why I recommend all travelers and friends on their way to Iceland to book this tour. Since you'll have a northern lights expert monitoring the forecast and will take you to the spot each particular night which has the highest chance of seeing the breathtaking Northern Lights in all their glory - a truly once in a lifetime experience.
Where to begin! We booked a few different tours, that included a northern lights trip, the golden circle and south coast. All these trips were fantastic. Jon was brilliant and so knowledgeable on the Northern lights tour and our very own “Queen Bee” Berglind was just amazing. So knowledgeable, funny and kind! Highly recommend anyone to anyone visiting Iceland to book these tours - you won’t be disappointed!
The tour was excellent. Seeing the northern lights has been on my bucket list for so many years - and WOW, what an adventure. Our tour guide Thor who was so knowledgable about Iceland knew exactly where the Northern Lights were going to be. This was such a fun experience that I’ve recommended to all my friends coming to Iceland!
I can't say enough great things about this tour! We had Thor as our guide. We started our tour at the Aurora museum where they showed me how to capture the northern lights on my camera. We then set out for adventure! Thor knew exactly where to take our group and even had warm Icelandic coco and pastries to enjoy while seeing the lights! I highly recommend anyone visiting Iceland during the winter to experience this!
Frequently Asked Questions
The lights are a natural phenomenon and beyond our control. They are visible in Iceland from late August through April but visibility is subject to light activity and cloud coverage We cannot guarantee sightings but have an amazing team that will try their absolute best to find the perfect spot for you to see them :)
If your tour guide confirms that no Northern Lights were seen we invite you on a complimentary Northern Light Tour. In order to re-book your tour, please contact the tour operators directly at your earliest convenience :)
The tour starts at 9:00pm or 10:00pm (depending on what month you book). Pick up starts 30 minutes prior. Please be ready at your designated pick up spot and we hope you have an amazing time on the tour :)
A decision whether we run the tour or not is made every day before 18:00. If the conditions are poor and it is unlikely to see the lights they cancel the tour. Then you have the option of either getting a full refund or rebook for another night that suits you best without any additional cost.
Here in Iceland, we have a pretty good Northern Lights forecast that shows us 3 days ahead, that is the most reliable one but even with that one, seeing the lights can be very tricky and sometimes we don´t know until the day off if we will be able to see it or not.
This tour is highly likely to sell out so we recommend booking sooner rather than later. Regarding what time during your vacation you should book, we recommend booking this tour early on in your trip, that way you are maximizing your chances of seeing the lights to the fullest and if you are not lucky on your first evening, you have the rest of your stay to re-try :)
