Northern Lights Hunt
We pick you up and whisk you away from the city lights to where we predict the best sightings according to the cloud forecast. Our small tour group allows us to get off the beaten path and away from the crowds to enjoy the Northern Lights in serenity.*
Stargazing with telescope
While waiting for the lights we use our powerful stargazing telescope to explore crude details of the planets in our solar system and deep space phenomena lightyears away. We take photos of everyone under the lights, for free.
Your guides
We spend our winters chasing Northern Lights weather, and our summers chasing Paragliding weather. We know our Icelandic weather! We are local sky enthusiasts and our small and personal tours are designed to make you feel like a part of our team and a part of Iceland.

Although we did see Northern Lights which was amazing, we were not impressed by the manners of our guide. He came across a little rude and inappropriate in the way that he spoke to some of the people in our group. Hence, giving this experience 4 stars only.

Look no further for your Northern Lights tour! We had an *exceptionally excellent* experience with Happyworld. I had done a bunch of research before selecting a tour company and honed in on Happyworld mainly due to the comparatively small group size, reasonable price, and flexibility to rebook at no additional cost in case the Lights don't cooperate.
In addition to these logistical advantages, Happyworld provides clear and timely day-of communication, does thorough daily meteorological research before making a go-no decision, and keeps you comfortable and engaged during the tour. To boot, Ástþór was a *tremendous guide* - as entertaining as he is informative! - and he did a fantastic job of capturing our experience through photography (see a few attached examples).
Our overall Northern Lights journey comprised three nights:
- Night 1: We ventured out, but the Lights weren't very strong. It was still nice to be out under the stars!
- Night 2: True to their world, Happyworld allowed us to rebook for free, but in the early evening informed us that the meteorological conditions weren't conducive to seeing the light and cancelled the trip. We appreciated their not wasting our time, as well as providing suggestions for alternative activities in Reykjavik.
- Night 3: Once again, true to their world, Happyworld allowed us to rebook for free. This time those Northern Lights *absolutely exploded* for us. We spent several hours in a field outside of Reykjavik watching the lights move and dance, ebb and pop, change color. The spectacle was well worth the wait - truly magical! - and very much enhanced by Ástþór's enthusiasm and narration.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND chasing the Northern Lights with Happyworld!

Such an amazing experience! Tour staff was so helpful and very eager to help do everything they could do to ensure we saw the northern lights. They were very honest and forthcoming with information and even had to reschedule us for another night with better chances to see the northern lights. So glad they did because the next night was just magical! Highly recommend. Very friendly guys, nice 4x4 ride. Great all around!!!

HappyWorld's Northern Lights and Stargazing tour in Iceland, led by Asthor, delivered an unforgettable experience despite challenging weather conditions. Asthor's determination to find optimal viewing spots for the Northern Lights was evident as he navigated to locations with minimal light pollution, ensuring a breathtaking spectacle under the night sky. His expertise in photography added to the experience, capturing stunning images of the Aurora Borealis for us to cherish.
The tour was further enhanced by Asthor's thoughtful touch of serving homemade hot chocolate. Additionally, his knowledge of astronomy during the stargazing segment was impressive and a great addition. Overall, would highly recommend HappyWorld's excursion for those seeking a great Northern Lights experience, especially if you want to see the stars too!

First of all, the 2 gentlemen who ran this tour were amazing. They made us feel very comfortable and entertained. We immediately felt like friends upon pickup. We drove out to the National Park about an hour outside the city and set up shop. Immediately, we were dazzled with photos of the Northern Lights. It was absolutely freezing outside, but we did not care. The lights were so beautiful and the commentary and learning experience from the tour guides kept us entertained. 10 out of 10 MUST DO!!!!

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience on this tour. Our guide, Ástþór, was very personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. We learned about astrology, Greek mythology, space, and of course, the Northern Lights. We were lucky enough to experience the beautiful Northern Lights and got some great pictures to remember the once in a lifetime experience by. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

The tour with them was amazing! We were lucky enough to get a Northern Light show yesterday night and had plenty of opportunities to take pictures! The stargazing makes this experience so much more fun compared to other tours. The best was our guide Astþor, telling us everything he knew about the stars, solar system, Northern Lights and he always found a way to make the entire group laugh! :D If you are looking for a fun Northern Lights Tour, I can definitely recommend them.

Amazing. This was just pure magic. It was just 6 of us riding along chasing after the lights. Learned so much about Aurora Borealis and the sky!

I cannot adequately put into words how amazing of an experience we had with Happy World Iceland and our tour guide Pruster (pronounced "Thruster"). We lucked out with a perfectly clear night and we loved that it was a small group (only 8 of us). "Thruster" was the MOST amazing tour guide, sharing his vast knowledge about the Aurora, Icelandic history, and TONS on astronomy/constellations. He brought his own camera and got amazing shots of all of us, as well as his awesome telescope and let us look at Jupiter, constellations, and other cool stuff in the bright, starry night. He was so full of energy and super funny. On the drive home we noticed the lights getting even brighter in the sky and he made an additional stop for us and go the best pics of the night. Happy World Iceland really went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make this experience exceptional! Recommend them to everyone!!!
