Northern Lights and Stargazing in Iceland Tour

COME SEARCH FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS WITH US!

You are about to embark on a mission to see the Northern Lights, which are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful celestial displays found in nature. But up there, many other cosmic wonders are waiting to be discovered. All you need to do is gaze skywards into the Arctic night canopy to explore the magic of countless stars and the moon itself.

The tour not only sets out to find the legendary Northern Lights, but we also use the opportunity to pinpoint some of the stars & constellations in the sky.

We depart from Reykjavík, where you will step on board our brand new bus fleet, equipped with computer tablets in each seat. The tablets provide us with an “In Bus Audio Guide’’ on the tour, which is available in 10 languages. On board, you will find a USB charger and free WiFi. We will also offer useful tips on how best to capture the Northern Lights on camera.

There are a few factors that determine whether or not seeing the Aurora Borealis is possible, and we're experts in reckoning our chances of seeing them. This means we have a high success rate, and we do not go out unless we feel the odds are in our favor.

All our northern lights tours are guided by one of our specially trained northern lights guides, they are both knowledgeable and helpful and will even give you tips on how to take photos of the show. We highly recommend bringing a tripod, it is a must if you want to get a good picture!

To search for the Auroras you need to stand outside in the Icelandic winter - and you need to dress very warmly to fully enjoy this unique experience. Therefore we recommend putting on warm and comfy layers for the evening. 

Highlights
