Experience the magic of the Westfjords at night on a private northern lights tour from Ísafjörður. With no light pollution outside the town, the fjords and mountain valleys create the perfect backdrop to witness one of nature’s most breathtaking displays. Your private guide will take you to the best local viewpoints, adjusting the route to follow the weather and maximize your chances of seeing the aurora.

If conditions allow, we will stop to enjoy the quiet night skies while you keep warm with hot drinks. Because this is a private experience, the pace and stops are completely flexible, making it easy to tailor the evening for photographers, families, or travelers who simply want to enjoy the beauty in comfort.

The northern lights are never guaranteed, but even without them the night drive through Ísafjörður’s dramatic fjords offers a peaceful and unforgettable experience under the winter stars.
