Exclusive Northern Lights tour from Reykjavík

Embark on an exclusive private Northern Lights tour from Reykjavík, led by our expert local guides, who relentlessly pursue the Aurora Borealis. With years of experience, they’ve mastered the art of locating the elusive lights and will take you to their favourite secret spots. Our Northern Lights specialists carefully hand-picked each viewing location, ensuring a truly personalised and unforgettable experience.

As this is a private Superjeep tour, you’ll enjoy the flexibility to travel to locations with the most favourable conditions without the stress of driving in Iceland’s dark, challenging winter terrain. You can sit back and relax as your guide navigates the rugged landscape, taking you to the best spots for Northern Lights sightings.

Your driver-guide will combine local knowledge and real-time meteorological data to find the clearest skies and unblocked views, maximizing your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights in all their glory.

The adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or nearby location in Reykjavík. You’ll board your chosen private Superjeep, fully equipped with free Wi-Fi, and quickly leave the city lights behind, venturing deep into Iceland’s vast, dark countryside in search of the mystical Aurora.

At each stop, your guide will assess the conditions, deciding whether to stay or continue the hunt for an even better viewing spot. If the aurora activity is low or the skies are cloudy, they’ll continue searching for the perfect location, enhancing your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in the best possible conditions.

Northern Lights Hunting Off the Beaten Path

On this Superjeep tour, we can’t predict exactly where your quest for the Northern Lights will take you. For several hours, you’ll journey through a variety of stunning nighttime landscapes. Depending on the weather and forecast, you may explore the historic Golden Circle, the breathtaking South Iceland region, the dramatic lava fields and volcanoes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, or even venture into western Iceland. Every stop is determined by the best chance of a clear sky and an optimal view of the Aurora.

To enhance your experience, our specially designed Superjeeps allow access to remote, off-the-beaten-path locations that large tour buses and minivans can’t reach. This gives you the flexibility and privacy to fully enjoy the Northern Lights and the starry night sky, free from the hustle of big crowds.

Learn About the Aurora Borealis from Your Expert Guide

No need to study beforehand! Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the science behind the Aurora Borealis, alongside captivating stories and mythical folklore about Iceland and the Northern Lights. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the natural phenomenon or Iceland itself—your guide is here to enrich your experience.

Warm Up with a Hot Chocolate

As the night cools, a cup of hot chocolate will keep you warm while you await the magical appearance of the Northern Lights. And on especially chilly nights, nothing warms you up faster than a spiked cup of cocoa!

Witness the Magic of the Northern Lights

When the Northern Lights make their appearance, you’ll be treated to a spectacular display of vibrant colors lighting up the dark, starry sky. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the moment with your loved ones, take photos, and soak in the wonder of this natural phenomenon.

Capture the Moment: You and the Northern Lights

To ensure the memory lasts a lifetime, your guide will likely snap a photo of you under the Northern Lights. The next day, you’ll receive an email with a link to download your pictures so you can relive the magic whenever you like.

A Family-Friendly Adventure

We understand that Northern Lights tours can be challenging for families with small children who might not enjoy waiting in the cold for hours. But don’t worry—your guide will make sure your kids stay warm and entertained. They can relax in the Superjeep, where they can watch cartoons on YouTube or listen to music while you keep an eye on the sky for the Aurora.

After approximately four hours of hunting for the Northern Lights, your guide will drive you back to your hotel in Reykjavík, ensuring a comfortable end to your night of adventure.
