Itinerary

Explore the stunning Icelandic countryside and witness the breathtaking Northern Lights with our expert guides. They will take you to the best viewing spots and share insights about this natural wonder. 

Capture unforgettable moments with photos of the dancing Aurora, and enjoy a personalized experience by choosing additional activities before or after your hunt. 

The tour includes hotel pickup, travel in comfortable Super Jeeps to prime Aurora locations, photography, and return to your accommodation.

Your unique adventure begins with an evening pickup from Reykjavik, marking the start of your thrilling Northern Lights hunt!

Our experienced guides will take you to a quiet, dark location, far from light pollution, where the weather forecast is most promising for the night. This spot is typically within a 1 to 1.5-hour radius of Reykjavik. The guides are trained to track down the lights, so your chances of spotting the Aurora are very high!

After some driving through the stunning Icelandic landscapes, the night sky may suddenly light up with shades of pink, purple, and green, creating an unforgettable scene - we’ve reached our destination! Words can't capture this spectacular sky show—you must see it with your own eyes.

During the trip, our friendly guides will share their knowledge of the science and folklore behind the Northern Lights.

After the experience, we’ll drive you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
