Private Tour

Northern Lights In luxury off-road SUV with Photos and Treats

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

Go out and see the stars and (hopefully) the Northern Lights. We offer a off-road vehicle to get to the places we need to in order to hunt down the Northern Lights effectively. We only employ guides with many years of experience in both hunting the lights and capturing pictures.

The guide will capture your picture with the Northern Lights and they will be emailed to you the day after.

We offer hot chocolate and treats to keep you warm during the winter nights which can often involve waiting around for the magic to happen.

We can not guarantee that you will see the Aurora because of the unpredictable nature of the phenomenon.

The tour is operated out of Reykjavík and we will go up to 2 hours away from the capital depending on where the lights are expected to show themselves.

What To Expect

Reykjavik

Hunt the Northern Lights departing from Reykjavík. The Aroura Borealis, sometimes called the Northern Lights, is a phenomenon that appears in the sky when certain conditions are met. The Aroura Borealis is a plasmic reaction of gasses that Ionize when charged particles coming in from the sun ram into the atmosphere. The Aurora is a magnificent display of physics at the interstellar level visible to the naked eye. Myths and legends surrounding this phenomenon can be found in many religions, cultures, and folktales about magic, the afterlife, the beginning of life, gods of prosperity, and war. Seeing this phenomenon is on many travelers' bucket lists and we certainly try our hardest every time to make sure their dreams come true.

Had a wonderful tour. Our guide Kobe took us down on the coast and we were able to see the lights about an hour in. It was very windy and cold so dressing warmly was a must. He offered refreshments halfway through, the cream buns were delicious.

What a blast! Kolbeinn took three friends and myself on an amazing tour of the Golden Circle. He was SO knowledgeable! Not to mention an all around fun guy! He was flexible and catered to our wants and needs. The lunch at Frioheimar was a high light! Not to mention delicious!! If you have the chance, I highly recommend a private tour with Artic Out!!
Incredible tour and experience!

This was an incredible tour and experience! Our tour guide, Kolbeinn, was knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. In a clean SUV, he drove us to a perfect spot to view the Northern Lights. We received professional quality photos of our family and the lights. This was truly a once in a lifetime tour!

This was hands down the best tour we took in Iceland. Our guide went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable with our two small children, one of which was only four months old and even offered for us to use his own car seat. He took us to places that were not well known to look at the northern lights and offered to rescheduled our tour multiple times to make sure that we had the best chance of seeing the lights. It did not disappoint! The lights were beautiful and he brought his professional camera to help get family pictures. He also brought a traditional Icelandic snack that he smoked himself with the traditional rye bread that cooks for 24 hours in the ground. The guide was personable and very knowledgeable. It was everyone’s favorite experience.
Great photo opportunity
