Exclusive Northern Lights tour from Reykjavík
This exclusive private Northern Lights tour from Reykjavík is run by our local expert guides who never give up and are highly skilled at locating the Northern Lights. And you will get to see their favourite secret spots! Each viewing location has been hand-picked by one of our Northern Lights experts, allowing us to share our personal experience and to create truly amazing Northern Lights tours.

Since this is a private guided Superjeep tour, you will be mobile enough to go to where the circumstances are optimal. You will not need to worry about driving yourself in Iceland’s difficult winter conditions or finding out where to go for the best opportunity to see the Northern Lights.

Your driver-guide will use local knowledge and the most recent forecasts from the meteorology office to find the place with least cloud cover and with unblocked views of the sky to ensure that you have the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights with the best view possible.

Your adventure will begin in Reykjavík, where your private guide will pick you up at your hotel or at a nearby pick-up point. You will get on board the private Superjeep of your choice equipped with free Wi-Fi. You will quickly leave the city’s lights behind to head out into the darkness of the vast Icelandic countryside in search of the magical Northern Lights.

At the first stop, your guide will check the conditions and decide to stay there or to keep looking for another location that will give better results. If the aurora activity is weak or if the weather is cloudy, your guide will take you to find some better locations. This will boost your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

Northern Lights hunting off the beaten path
On this Superjeep tour, we cannot tell you in advance exactly where your quest for the Northern Lights will take you. As you will quest for hours, there will be many places that you could see by night. You may visit the beautiful and historic Golden Circle area, somewhere in South Iceland, the lava fields and volcanoes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, or even the western part of Iceland. Where you go depends entirely on the forecast and the weather.

To maximize your enjoyment, you will be able to go to locations that are off the beaten path, which the tour buses and minivans cannot reach. You special Superjeep will give you the flexibility and privacy to enjoy the Northern Lights and the other wonders of the night sky without the discomfort of big crowds.

Your guide will tell you everything about the Aurora Borealis
There is no need to read long-winded articles and guides beforehand to learn about the Northern Lights. Your guide will tell you every fact about the science behind the Aurora Borealis and captivating stories and mythical folklore about Iceland and the Northern Lights. You will also be welcome to ask any questions about the Northern Lights and Iceland.

Warm up with a hot chocolate
During the cold night, a cup of hot chocolate will keep you warm while you experience the magic of the Northern Lights. During the coldest of nights, nothing will warm you up faster than a spiked cup of cocoa.

The magical Northern Lights are one of the most amazing phenomena that nature has to offer. When the Northern Lights have been spotted, you can see the fantastic colours in the dark and starry sky. You will have much time to enjoy the display with your loved ones or friends while taking as many photos as you want.

You and the Aurora captured on a photo
Your guide will likely take a photo of you under the Northern Lights, and they will share it with you online the next day so that you can keep the memory alive. We will send you an email with a link to the photos so that you can download them.

Northern Lights tours can be challenging for families with small kids. Young kids usually do not want to stay out in the cold waiting and can get bored easily. But there is no need to worry. Your guide will ensure your children have a warm place in the car. They can watch their favourite cartoon on YouTube or listen to some music inside while they are watching the starry sky and the Northern Lights outside.  After four hours of Northern Lights hunting, your guide will drive you back to Reykjavik, where you will be dropped off at your hotel.
