Private Northern Lights Tours

About this experience

Experience the magic of Iceland’s Northern Lights like never before! Our expert-guided Northern Lights tour takes you away from Reykjavik and deep into the Icelandic wilderness, far from city lights, ensuring the best chance to witness this breathtaking natural phenomenon. Every evening, we carefully choose the best location based on weather conditions and aurora forecasts, so you can enjoy the clearest view of the dancing lights.

On our Northern Lights tour, you’ll have the flexibility to move between spots as our knowledgeable guides stay in constant contact with local experts to find the most optimal viewing areas. Sometimes, it may require patience as we wait for the aurora to appear, but the reward is an awe-inspiring spectacle you’ll never forget.

Itinerary and highlights

After picking you up in the Reykjavik Capital Area, we will head out of the city, away from any light pollution, to a location chosen that day for the best Northern Lights visibility. Sometimes, we may need to wait for the Northern Lights to appear or even change locations throughout the evening. Our guide stays in constant contact with our office and local experts to receive updates on the best Northern Lights viewing spots each night, in case we need to relocate. While we aim to avoid crowded areas, we cannot always guarantee that others searching for the Northern Lights won’t show up at the same location.
