Escape the reach of tour buses and seek the celestial green glow of the northern lights on a 4-hour Iceland tour in the comfort of a ‘super jeep,’ a spacious SUV that’s designed to travel on the rugged Icelandic terrain with ease. Learn about the natural phenomenon on your way out of Reykjavik, and venture deep into the countryside to find the best spots for viewing the lights. If you're not lucky enough to see the lights on the night of your tour, simply re-book with the tour operator at no extra cost.
This tour is a small group tour, ensuring a more personalized experience.

Our tour guide Hjörtur was super friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We had great luck with the northern lights but I think we had excellent luck with our guide as well! He picked excellent spots (nothing a tour bus could get to!) where the clouds broke at the right time for the lights to shine through and put in extra effort to make sure we got the best views, stopping in 3 places. This was a highlight of our trip. Hjörtur also took great photos for us, much better than our phones could capture, and served us yummy hot chocolate. It really was an excellent experience, once in a lifetime.

Had an excellent experience seeing the northern lights! Hjörtur was a brilliant guide, providing commentary on the lights as we began our hunt and then finding a perfect spot to pull over and see them. He is also extremely skilled as a photography and was able to take some stunning photos of the aurora.

Our guide shared a lot of information about how he determines when and where the best Northern Lights viewing is likely. In addition, taking the large-wheeled van allowed us to go to more remote places than a large bus can go. I had no expectation that we would actually see the lights, but we did! It was so cool. If you go - dress very warmly because the best time of year to see them is also the coldest, and you really have to stay out for a few hours.

Excellent northern lights excursion, great off road vehicle that can get you away from other larger groups of tourists. Great tour guide/driver / photographer. Great night . Hot chocolate great touch on freezing night . Would highly recommend. ?

The Mercedes Minibus was not a super jeep. I understood this would be a more private family only tour. We had a rental car and there was no pickup option where we could safely park our vehicle. We were staying in Keflavik and asked about being picked up outside of Reykavik, no options then the tour took us back to Keflavik. We were to receive hot chocolate with biscuits but they didn’t bring any cups but they brought shot glasses for liquor. We enjoy a good beer or wine but not liquor. We understand that environmental conditions determine the success of seeing the Northern lights and appreciated the tour guide’s attempts to find a location and it was raining most of the evening there was one gap where we saw the green hue across the sky. Note, you see it better in pictures. Overall we laughed through the tour at the absurdity of the experience.

Amazing night!! Picked up at our hotel and brought to a perfect spot to view the light show. Our guide was great fun! The northern lights were incredible!! I think we got lucky with the night we picked because our guide said it was one of the best light shows he had seen in a while. Seeing the northern lights has been a bucket list item of mine, and I'm so glad my daughter and I got to experience this together. I highly recommend this trip.

Amazing!I was a solo traveler in March 2023. The pick up/drop off location was less than a 5 minute walk from my hotel. The trip included hot chocolate while we waited. The driver, Hjortur was hilarious and kept us updated with the plans for the night. He seemed to enjoy his work!
We made it to 2 stops and saw the lights at the second location! Hjortur posed us and took photos for us. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

Because of the un-predictability of the Northern lights we waited on booking, and when we heard the forecast was perfect for a sighting we called around 6pm day off to book. The less expensive tours were sold out already so we went with this. Thankfully the forecast was right and we got to see what the guide described as “the jackpot” of auroras! Con: it’s really a mini bus with 4WD, were ~20 seats on the “super jeep” so manage expectations if you’re thinking it would be more intimate.
Pro: guide was funny, good driver and photographer! We had the best time.

We were taken out in the keep by Arno. He was the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guy a real pleasure to have as our guide. He made it even more exciting with his natural enthusiasm. We were literally just in an area of no light pollution and he spotted something we pulled over and literally as soon as we got off the bus there she was. Aurora in all her glory. Great guide, great drink hot chocolate with Brennan and above all Aurora couldn’t recommend them enough particularly Arni

We were booked for the northern lights tour, but the trip was repeatedly canceled because of poor weather conditions. Arctic Adventures kept us fully informed of the situation and refunded our money with no problem. They were honest and transparent and didn't try to gouge us by taking us out anyway. I was impressed!
