Small Bus Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik at 9:30 pm

About this experience

Since it is more difficult to see the northern lights from Reykjavik, the tour will take place as far outside the city boundaries and away from light pollution as possible. The final destination is not known in advance because it depends on the amount of cloud cover and nighttime activity. The drive will be as short as possible, and there may be multiple stops because the lights can be difficult to find. It is frequently a waiting game for this stunning phenomenon, but it is always worthwhile. If the guide identifies a site as a decent location, we might stay in that spot.
Your guide will set up their camera to take pictures of your group as you look for the Aurora Borealis. Your tour guide will make sure that everyone has a chance to take a picture. As we wait for the aurora to appear, cuddle up under cozy blankets, indulge in a self-service selection of hot chocolate and nibbles, and enjoy some stargazing.
