The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are caused by collisions between particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. In Iceland they are visible during the winter months, from late August to April, and appear in many different forms and colours although light green and pink are the most common.
Our Northern Lights team studies thoroughly the weather and aurora forecasts in order to find the best location each night to spot the lights.
The lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that indicated return times can vary.
The maximum group size is 19 people.

We got very lucky and had a lot of aurora activity the night we went- the views were spectacular and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Stefan, was amazing and made the whole experience even better! He did a great job explaining what causes the aurora and also setting expectations. He took photos and warmed us up on a chilly night with some hot chocolate and Icelandic donuts. Being in a small group was great, there was no one else at our viewing location so it was a very intimate experience that we all got to enjoy together. Best activity I did in Iceland, hands down.

Albert was an amazing guide. He took us to the perfect place to see the lights. We saw them within 30 minutes of being on the tour. He was friendly and explained a lot and even took pictures of us! Highly recommend.

We did several Northern Lights excursions out of Reykjavík, and this one with Stefan Svavarsson was the BEST. He is passionate about hunting for and finding the Aurora, and he was a wealth of very interesting information. Not only did he rely on his network of other aurora hunters to monitor activity, he knows all the best spots to view—even when you have to find one quick because it’s happening sooner than expected! On top of all this, Stefan went above and beyond by taking photos and time lapse video with his camera on a tripod that he was willing to share with us. Way better than the photos we captured! Such a cool memory for us of a magical night.

After a mishap with our booking and missing our tour bus, they very kindly put us on the next one going out rather than making us wait until the next day, something they didn’t need to do but were generous to offer. Had a great experience with Stefàn who had a fab sense of humour and kept it light hearted along the way. We did get to see the lights and he also took his own photos of the lights that he uploaded to a Google drive for us to use which turned out amazing :) would highly recommend!

Fabulous trip.picked up fr my hotel in a small minibus with about 12 people total
Guide was excellent very friendly spoke amazing English
He explained that being in the smaller bus meant he could access more remote places if he needed to. We knew there were no guarantees of seeing the lights and had been out the night before in a large coach and taken to a place where there were more large coaches and hoards of people. U know thst has no affect on whether the lights come out or not but I wouldn't have enjoyed as much if they had that night. On our small group tour the lights were fabulous from the second we stepped off the bus. The guide helped with camera settings and was as enthusiastic about seeing the lights as his customers were. In fact hours later when we were all making our way back on to the minibus he called us all off again as the lights had become so clear and unusual! Our guides name sounded like Goodjom however I know its not spelt like that. I would highly recommend this tour as your best chance to see and enjoy the lights

First time reviewer here but I felt I had to review this tour. I cannot praise this tour enough. Obviously you aren’t guaranteed to see this natural phenomenon but our guide went above and beyond for us. It was a small group tour ( which I would highly recommend as the minibus takes you to locations a coach cannot ) we saw the northern lights and watched them for over an hour before they started to fade, we all got back on the bus, when our guide quickly shouted for us to get off again and what we saw was the best view of the lights seen so far this year! It was AMAZING!!! I would definitely recommend this company and especially this tour, worth every penny.

The guide was awesome and knowledgeable. I felt the northern lights are over rated and chances of seeing one with naked eyes are rare, the conditions needs to be just rite. Using higher camera exposure we were able to capture some lights.

Our tour guide Solvi, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He explained a lot of information on the way there. Although the intensity is the lights activity was not high for our trip, he showed us how we could see them on camera and even took lots of family pictures for us.

We went on this tour on 7th February. The group size was great and on a small minibus. This is much better than a coach tour. Our guide was Sölvi Signhildar-Úlfsson and although we didn’t see the lights, he was very knowledgable, enthusiastic and friendly. I’d highly recommend solvi as a guide. He even took photos of me and my wife on his professional camera and sent these to us afterwards! Thanks solvi!
