Northern Lights Tours

An enchanting solar-powered symphony of lights, there’s nothing quite as magical and awe-inspiring as the Northern Lights. A natural phenomenon that occurs when electrically-charged particles from the sun enter the earth's atmosphere, the Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern Lights, has been captivating travellers for hundreds of years. Reminiscent of Van Gogh’s piece, Starry Night, the celestial lights have inspired local myths and legends for centuries. Whether you’re partial to the ancient Greek theory that the lights are a multicoloured chariot racing across the sky, or the Chinese’s interpretation of the lights as fire-breathing dragons, you’ll be left star-struck after seeing this magical site first-hand.

Our tips for Northern Lights

  • Check the forecast. The Northern Lights are as fickle as they are beautiful. Plan ahead and check the Aurora Forecast to give yourself the best possible odds of viewing the lights on your Iceland Northern Lights tours.
  • A picture is worth a thousand words. Documenting this once-in-a-lifetime experience isn’t as easy as a few clicks on your iPhone. Adjust your camera settings and allow for longer exposure times to snap the sights at their best.
  • We’ll light the way. Book Iceland Northern Lights tours with isango! to see the lights with an expert guide in tow. On our tours you’ll be in the best possible hands, with a guide who has been hunting the lights for years and knows exactly where, when and how to get the best possible viewing experience.
  • Think thermals. Auroras reveal themselves on cold, clear skies, so dress appropriately. Gloves, hats, scarves and a thick coat are advised.

Good to know

Best time to visit
Statistically speaking, auroras are most active in the weeks surrounding the equinoxes in March and September. Darkness is essential, so September through to mid-April are the best times for Northern Lights tours, boasting long and black evenings.
Getting there
Chasing Iceland’s Northern Lights requires a vehicle, so either a hire-car or private Northern Lights tours will be your best bet in seeing this majestic site first-hand.
Money saving tips
For cheaper rates, head to Iceland’s Northern Lights during October through to April. Although daylight in Iceland during these months is fleeting, you’ll have a lot less people to contend with on your Northern Lights trip. Take a guided tour to maximise your chances of seeing the lights and minimize the costs. Saving you the trouble of hiring a car and navigating, our tours are led by guides who know exactly where to go and when to see the Northern Lights in full.

  • Beware of pickpockets particularly in the Southern tourist regions such as Costa Adeje, Playa de Las Américas and Los Cristianos. Be sure to keep your belongings safe and secure at all times, especially when in crowded areas.
  • Being close to the equator, Tenerife’s sunshine is extremely strong. Make sure your skin is well protected with sunscreen and drink lots of water throughout your stay on the island.
  • In any emergency situation, dial 112.
