We combine the expertise of dedicated aurora hunters with an exceptional focus on comfort and a cozy, shared experience.

While all tours chase the lights, our guides are specialists in local microclimates and real-time solar activity. We don't just drive to a fixed spot; we use dynamic routing to find the clearest, darkest patch of sky, maximizing your viewing chances far away from the city's light pollution.

The journey itself is part of the experience. You travel in a comfortable, warm vehicle and enjoy the famous Icelandic hospitality with a complimentary hot chocolate as you wait beneath the stars. This transforms the hunt into a relaxed, memorable gathering with fellow travelers. You leave the stress of driving on dark, icy roads to us, allowing you to focus completely on the sky.

What To Expect

Reykjavik

Board a warm bus in Reykjavík and leave the bright city lights behind. We head into the dark Icelandic countryside in search of the magical Northern Lights. Your journey includes a relaxing drive through quiet landscapes, where the possibility of the aurora dancing across the sky is high. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about Iceland, its folklore, and the science behind the aurora borealis. As we find the best viewing spot, chosen based on weather and visibility, you will be invited to step outside and look up at the vast, starry sky. To keep you comfortable while you wait, we will serve hot chocolate. With luck, the sky will come alive in dramatic shades of green, purple, and pink, creating memories you will cherish forever. While nature’s schedule can never be guaranteed, our experienced team will do everything possible to maximize your chances of a sighting.

From start to finish, this Northern Lights tour was unforgettable. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and truly passionate about helping everyone have the best chance to see the lights. He provided great insight into the science and folklore behind the aurora and even offered hot chocolate, pastry and hand warmers — small details that made a big difference on a chilly night! We were lucky enough to witness the sky come alive with color — waves of green dancing above us. Photos can’t do it justice — it’s something you have to feel in person. If you’re visiting Iceland, this experience is a must. Patient guides, comfortable transport, and a truly once-in-a-lifetime sight. I’ll never forget it! 💚✨
Wonderful trip with awesome guide!

His stories made the night unforgettable, everything went smoothly, and his enthusiasm was contagious. The lights were dim but he made the trip great anyway! Highly recommend! 🌌✨
