Product Info

Embark on an unforgettable Northern Lights adventure from Reykjavík aboard a specially modified Super Jeep. Enjoy convenient pick-up from your hotel or designated meeting point before heading into the Icelandic countryside, far away from the city's light pollution in search of the Aurora Borealis.

To maximize your chances of witnessing this spectacular natural phenomenon, your guide will carefully select the viewing location based on the latest weather, cloud cover, and aurora forecasts. Unlike larger tour buses, the Super Jeep can access remote and less crowded areas, providing a more exclusive and intimate Northern Lights experience.

Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into the science behind the Northern Lights, as well as Icelandic folklore and local stories connected to the Aurora. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available onboard, and you'll be treated to a warm cup of hot chocolate while enjoying the Arctic night sky.

Your guide will also be happy to assist with photos, helping you capture unforgettable memories beneath the dancing lights. After the tour, you will be driven back to Reykjavík and dropped off at your hotel or designated drop-off point.

Reminders

  • Important: The tour route and viewing location are not fixed and may change based on weather conditions and Northern Lights activity to ensure the best possible viewing opportunity.

  • If weather and Aurora forecasts indicate unfavorable viewing conditions, we will contact you by email the day before your scheduled tour.

  • We operate this tour only when weather and Aurora forecasts indicate favorable viewing conditions. However, please note that Northern Lights sightings cannot be guaranteed. As a natural phenomenon, the Aurora is inherently unpredictable and remains beyond our control, even under the most promising forecast conditions.

  • We reserve the right to cancel tours when a minimum number of passengers is not met.

  • Please dress warmly and wear appropriate winter clothing, as temperatures can be very cold while waiting outdoors for the Northern Lights to appear.
