About this experience
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.

Itinerary and highlights
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.
