Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Leave Reykjavík behind and hunt for the Northern Lights in Iceland’s winter wilderness aboard a spacious comfort coach with Wi-Fi and restroom facilities.

Throughout the evening, our experienced team monitors live weather, cloud cover, and aurora activity to find the most promising viewing locations. Praised by guests for their knowledge, enthusiasm, and determination, our guides have even been called true “Aurora Whisperers.”

Rather than following a fixed route, they adapt the journey in search of darker skies, clearer conditions, and stronger activity. Along the way, learn about the science behind the Aurora and receive practical tips for photographing it with your phone or camera.

Enjoy complimentary hot chocolate while waiting beneath Iceland’s night sky. As sightings cannot be guaranteed, you may join one additional scheduled departure free of charge if no Northern Lights are seen, subject to availability.
