Tour Description

You won't find a McDonald's or a Starbucks when visiting Reykjavik, but don't worry—the 3.5-hour Northern Lights Tour will allow you to experience the Northern Lights instead. To increase your chances of witnessing nature's own captivating light display, you'll travel away from the city lights and into the countryside with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. In order to track the lights as they dance across the night sky, weather forecasts are carefully examined, and the itinerary is altered every day.

In reality, charged particles produced from the sun's atmosphere collide with gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere to produce the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere. Every day we travel in the direction where there is the most chance of seeing the Northern Lights, therefore the places we visit are different. You are invited to sign up for a free Northern Lights trip, but please note that this tour is weather dependant and there is no guarantee of sightings
