Experience the Northern Lights in Iceland on this pleasant trip

The destinations we visit during the Northern Lights trip vary from day to day depending on the weather conditions. This trip is weather dependent, therefore there is no guarantee of seeing the northern lights. However, if you do not see the Northern Lights during our trip, you are more than welcome to take the trip again, which of course is completely free.

Why should you go on a northern lights trip in Iceland?

When you choose a guided northern lights tour in Iceland, you increase your chances of seeing the northern lights. Our team of experts closely studies the weather and northern lights prospects to find the best places and weather conditions where the lights are most likely to be found. We offer our guests to buy waffles and hot drinks on the trip itself, which can be enjoyed while keeping an eye on the beautiful night sky.

The trip depends on the weather conditions and we can therefore not guarantee that it is possible to see the northern lights. However, you will experience the Icelandic nature at night and the very special twilight that is found here in Iceland. One of the most important factors for seeing the northern lights is getting away from the city's many lights, but the route plan itself is only decided late in the day in relation to where the northern lights are most likely to be found.

What can you expect from our Northern Lights tour?

Although our buses are comfortable and warm, there is a high probability that it is cold outside. Here you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful northern lights and take pictures. Therefore, we also recommend that you bring warm clothes and stable shoes. Our guides will help and guide you on how to take the best pictures of the Northern Lights. Do not be afraid to inquire into the Northern Lights if you have any questions. Our guides are experts in the Northern Lights.

Please note that this is a non-refundable trip. We will do everything we can so that you will be able to experience the fantastic northern lights that Iceland has to offer, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee sightings. If we do not end up seeing the Northern Lights, we offer to rebook the trip another day (this is free).

Book the Northern Lights trip with plan B

Experience the spectacular northern lights in Iceland with a Plan B. Whatever the weather offers, you will at least experience a fantastic evening in Reykjavik.

Book your Northern Lights trip with the hope of good weather, but if we are so unlucky with the weather and Northern Lights prospects that the trip is canceled, you will automatically be sent on another trip that we have arranged with Whales of Iceland! This Plan-B includes a guided tour of the Whales of Iceland exhibition and an informative 25-minute short film about the Northern Lights, with Q&A and a complementary drink (white wine, red wine, beer or soda). Plan B guaranties that this will be a night with exciting experiences!

Please note that this is a non-refundable trip. We will do everything we can so that you will be able to experience the fantastic northern lights that Iceland has to offer, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee sightings.
