YOUR GUIDE
Our expert guides are familiar with the area and will take you to the best places to see the lights, using information from a network of magnetometers situated around the world and the most up-to-date reports of the Icelandic Met Office.
WHAT MAKES THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ?Northern Lights or Aurora borealis are created by collisions of oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere with the electrons released by the sun during geomagnetic storms, making them notoriously difficult to predict with even state-of-the-art meteorological equipment. In Icelandic tradition their appearance was associated with the ride of the Valkyries, while Greeks and Romans believed that it was the sister of Helios the Sun God riding a multi-colored chariot across the sky and expectant Icelandic mothers refused to look at their beauty, because their beauty was so profound that it would cause the baby to be born cross-eyed.

The experience with ICELIMO and, especially, with Sergio García has been 10. Sergio treated us wonderfully and showed us Iceland with kindness, passion and professionalism. All this without hurry and taking us to local restaurants and highly recommended. Recommended 100% if you visit the island! Thanks for everything, Sergio!!!

Annie was very friendly and good company. His knowledge of Iceland's history and the island generally is extensive and his curiosity in all things comes across clearly. We were extremely impressed with him and thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with him. Highly recommended.we did a 4-hour private tour of Reykjavik.

We had an amazing adventure thanks to the knowledgeable staff - we were able to see the aurora borealis during our visit and we felt quite privileged to see it! It's worth it!

Seeing the Aurora Borealis can be tricky but we hit it on a night so clear you could see into the space for ever. The northern lights came out and stayed on for 2 hrs a the most spectacular show ever. I must say you need to dress in layers and it's still cold. The pick up at the hotel was right on time and the ride to the site for observing was easy. We stayed as long as we wanted to and then headed back to our hotel. What an awesome experience and great service.
