What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We pick guests up anywhere in the Iceland capital area. If at a hotel, we will start the tour learning aurora hunting basics in the hotel lobby. However, if guests are staying in a private residence, we will meet at a downtown location to go over hunting basics first.
For those who do not wish to meet at their hotel or are staying at a private residence with no public lobby, we will meet at this cafe.
