The experience

About this tour

Are you ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience? Get ready to embark on a hunt for one of the most magnificent natural phenomena in the world – the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora! This incredible sight is the main reason why people travel to Iceland, and it's not hard to see why. Witnessing the Northern Lights is a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you with memories that last a lifetime.

Included in every Northern Lights journey with a visit to the Aurora Reykjavik Northern Lights centre*. Here you will discover the magic of Northern Lights through the history and science behind them. You will witness the Aurora in 4K across Iceland in their movie theatre. You can take the chance to set up your camera perfectly before you head outside into the nature.

Our experienced guides will then take you on a journey far from the city lights and into the Icelandic countryside, where you'll have the best chance of seeing the lights. Not only will they guide you to the perfect spot, but they'll also provide interesting insights into the Icelandic nature along the way.

Our small group tours provide the perfect setting for this type of excursion. With a limited number of guests, you'll have the best opportunity to catch the Northern Lights without having to wait for another group or person to move out of the way. Plus, if you forgot your tripod, don't worry – we have a few available for you to use.

We understand the importance of capturing this moment, so our guide will make sure to take a photo of you with the lights in the background if there's a chance. And with our comfortable 4×4 super jeep, you'll have the perfect vantage point to enjoy the stunning Icelandic landscape as you search for the lights.

Don't miss your chance to witness the incredible Northern Lights with your own eyes. Join us on this unforgettable hunt for Aurora, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Check availability by choosing a date and let's embark on this adventure together!
