Northern Lights with Photos & Hot Chocolate Small Group Tour

About this experience

Unlike crowded coach tours, your small-group Sprinter experience keeps things personal, comfortable, and flexible. With fewer passengers, you’ll enjoy more space, direct interaction with your guide, and a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere as you chase the Northern Lights.

Your guides are not only experts at reading Iceland’s skies but also skilled photographers, ready to help you capture stunning images of the Aurora Borealis. To keep you warm and cozy while waiting for the lights, we provide hot chocolate, traditional Icelandic pastries, and hand warmers — small touches that make a big difference.

This tour combines the thrill of aurora hunting with the ease of traveling in a modern Sprinter minibus. It’s a perfect balance of comfort, expert guidance, and unforgettable memories, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to experience Iceland’s most magical natural wonder in an intimate setting.

Itinerary and highlights

Your evening begins with a pickup from your meeting point in Reykjavík. Step aboard our comfortable Sprinter minibus as we leave the city lights behind and head toward areas with the best visibility for the Northern Lights. Each night, our expert guides monitor weather and solar activity to select the most promising viewing spots.

Once at the destination, watch the sky come alive with shades of green, purple, and pink as the Aurora Borealis dances above. To keep you cozy, enjoy hot chocolate and traditional Icelandic pastries while taking in the magic of the night.

Our guide will also capture photos of you under the Northern Lights, creating a special memory to take home. After this unforgettable experience, we’ll drive you back to your pickup point in Reykjavík.
