Northern Lights Tour
Northern Lights Tour
If you're looking for the best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, you're in the best place to do it! At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and leave Reykjavík behind to take you to an area free of light pollution, which is essential for seeing the Northern Lights.
During the tour, we'll discover how the aurora borealis is formed, a natural phenomenon that occurs almost exclusively in the polar regions and creates multi-coloured waves in the night sky. We'll also learn about all the superstitions that used to accompany these northern lights and the different types of aurorae that can appear in the sky.
In the middle of nature and surrounded by darkness, we'll admire the northern lights in all their splendour. You'll have free time to admire this phenomenon, walk under the curtain of colours, take pictures and enjoy an unforgettable moment under the starlight. Plus, you'll enjoy a hot chocolate and traditional sweet snacks, perfect to see this magical moment in the most comforting way possible.
After 4 hours of incredible natural beauty, we'll bring the experience to an end back at your hotel in Reykjavík
Important Information
As this is a natural phenomenon, it's impossible to guarantee that we'll be able to see the Northern Lights. If the northern lights do not appear during the tour, we'll offer you another opportunity to see them, but unfortunately no refund will be possible.
The best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is between September and April, although they can sometimes be seen at the end of August. It's also essential that the night is as dark as possible and that artificial light is as minimal as possible.
