FAQs

You can look for them on multi-day tours departing from September to April, with first sightings sometimes in late August, but like any natural phenomenon, the Northern Lights in Iceland can’t be guaranteed. Sightings depend on atmospheric and weather conditions, and the darker and clearer the sky, the better your chances. Most hotels we use on multi-day tours are in remote areas away from city lights, and most offer a Northern Lights wake-up call on request. For the best odds, the 5-Day South Coast & Northern Lights Tour includes two dedicated Northern Lights tours, one by boat from Reykjavík and one by minibus in the countryside.

If you are not sure that you have suitable gear for your tour, we offer some necessary items for rent. For most of our multi-day tours, we rent out waterproof jackets and pants as well as hiking boots. You can book these items and more under the selection “Extras” in the booking widget when booking your tour on our website.

If you have already booked the tour and wish to add some rental gear to your booking, you can do so at least 24 hours prior to your tour starting by using our customer portal - My Adventures, or contacting our customer care.
