Private Northern Lights Hunting Tour

About this experience

Experience the magic of the Icelandic sky on a Private Northern Lights Hunting Tour, where expert guides chauffeur you in luxury to prime spots away from city glare.

This mesmerizing display occurs when solar particles collide with the Earth's atmosphere, producing a spectrum of colors from common greens to rare blues and purples. While sightings depend on nature’s whims, our team provides tailored photography tips for DSLRs and smartphones to help you capture every moment. To prepare for this August-to-April adventure, dress warmly and bring plenty of snacks.

Please note that the standard tour focuses on the hunt; additional activities, as well as any extended hours, will incur separate charges.
