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. The Northern Lights originate from the sun, where large explosions and electronic storms throw flares and solar particles deep into space. These clouds of solar particles are caught by the Earth’s magnetic field on the south and north poles. The solar particles collide with the atmospheric gases and create this wonderful light effect, known as the Aurora Borealis.
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 evaluates and studies 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.
