We combine the expertise of dedicated aurora hunters with an exceptional focus on comfort and a cozy, shared experience.

While all tours chase the lights, our guides are specialists in local microclimates and real-time solar activity. We don't just drive to a fixed spot; we use dynamic routing to find the clearest, darkest patch of sky, maximizing your viewing chances far away from the city's light pollution.

The journey itself is part of the experience. You travel in a comfortable, warm vehicle and enjoy the famous Icelandic hospitality with a complimentary hot chocolate as you wait beneath the stars. This transforms the hunt into a relaxed, memorable gathering with fellow travelers. You leave the stress of driving on dark, icy roads to us, allowing you to focus completely on the sky.

    Board a warm bus in Reykjavík and leave the bright city lights behind. We head into the dark Icelandic countryside in search of the magical Northern Lights. Your journey includes a relaxing drive through quiet landscapes, where the possibility of the aurora dancing across the sky is high. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about Iceland, its folklore, and the science behind the aurora borealis. As we find the best viewing spot, chosen based on weather and visibility, you will be invited to step outside and look up at the vast, starry sky. To keep you comfortable while you wait, we will serve hot chocolate. With luck, the sky will come alive in dramatic shades of green, purple, and pink, creating memories you will cherish forever. While nature’s schedule can never be guaranteed, our experienced team will do everything possible to maximize your chances of a sighting.
