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.

Hunting the Northern Lights with an exceptional guide

5.00We would like to thank Lorenzo for this incredible excursion. His enthusiasm and knowledge of landscapes made our evening unforgettable. Thanks to him, we were able to move around Thingvellir Park in a way we could never have done alone. We very much appreciated the fact that it explains to us in a simple way the formation of the Northern Lights and the conditions for finding them. Not only were we fortunate enough to see them, but his experience as a professional diver also allowed us to visit sites where faults suggest water of rare clarity. Since we had arrived in Iceland that afternoon, our fatigue forced us to shorten the evening because otherwise we could have seen a waterfall and enjoyed a good hot chocolate that Lorenzo had kindly offered us. We warmly thank him for being this exceptional guide!

5.00Annie 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.
Lovely tour lead by knowledgeable staff

5.00We 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!
Oh what a night

4.00Seeing 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.
