Overview

Set outside Reykjavik for an exciting hunt for the Northern Lights. The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a spectacular natural phenomenon, often seen dancing around in fantastic colours across the Arctic sky. 

Northern Lights can be seen when certain weather conditions are fulfilled, usually during crispy cold and still evenings. During the night, however, you will see Icelandic nature, including the Milky Way, stars, moon, clouds, and complete blackness. On a daily basis, team of experts evaluate and study the weather, locations, and aurora forecast to see if the odds are in favour. Passengers can buy waffles and hot drinks on-site, at an extra cost, when available, to enjoy while looking up into the sky (offered only in 9pm departure)

The tour will take you to all the places where these Northern Lights are most likely to be seen. At the end of an exciting three-hour hunt, you will be dropped back to the starting point.
