Get ready to discover the magic of Iceland under the dancing sky of the Northern Lights. This exclusive luxury tour, designed for an intimate group of maximum 15 people, combines breathtaking scenery, absolute comfort and the art of capturing unique moments through professional photography.
Why choose this tour?
The journey will go outside of the city limits away from as much light pollution as possible, the northern lights are harder to see from Reykjavík. The end location is not pre-determined as it will depend on the cloud coverage and activity in the evening. The drive will be kept as short as possible and you might stop at several locations as the lights can be quite elusive. If we have a spot the guide determines as a good location, we might stay in that spot- It is often a waiting game for this beautiful phenomenon, but it is always worth it.
As you search for the aurora borealis, your guide will set up their camera for photos of your group. Your tour guide will ensure everybody gets an opportunity for a photo. Curl up in warm blankets and enjoy a self-service selection of hot chocolate and snacks and enjoy some stargazing while we wait for the aurora to appear.
If our hunt is successful, we email photos using a drop box link within 7 days of your tour to the email provided with the booking.

Good to Know: A little note on the Northern Lights, they are fickle and elusive. They are very common in Iceland but alas cannot be promised by anyone, so in order to make sure that you get another chance to see them we will take you a second time if your first time out turned out to be only stargazing and hot chocolate. This re-use ticket is valid for two years after purchase. When successful with the Northern Lights, links with your photos will be sent to you within 7 Days, photo links go to the email address used for the booking. The lights may also vary in strength, and can be camera only visible at times, and not seen with the eye- if our guide is taking photos, we encourage everyone to get their photo. There is no refund for declining your photo.
