An expertly guided Northern Lights tours from Reykjavik, you’ll have your best chance to see Iceland’s incredible Northern Lights dance across the night sky. You’ll be whisked away from the bright city lights of Reykjavik and into the remote Icelandic countryside, searching the skies for the Aurora Borealis.

The Northern Lights in Iceland are a natural phenomenon triggered by charged particles from the Sun colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere, high up in the heavens.

Seeing the lights from the ground also requires clear, dark nights, so we’ll need the right weather for a successful Aurora hunt! Experienced Northern Lights guides will read the weather forecast and pick the right places each night.

Staff will be on hand to help you with your camera or smartphone settings if you need advice, but it is recommended familiarising yourself with your equipment before your Northern lights tour.

Why should you book a Reykjavik Northern Lights tour?

Iceland is one of the most beautiful places on Earth to see the Northern Lights, with stunning landscapes just a short drive from the city. 

As well as that, Iceland isn’t as built-up as other countries, so it’s much easier to reach secluded areas in complete darkness. That makes a big difference when you’re hunting the Northern Lights! 

The Northern Lights tours have over a decade of experience making the most of this magical phenomenon, discovering the best places to watch the skies dance. 

So, you prepare for an experience with Iceland’s amazing guides you’ll never forget. You’ll never have a better opportunity for seeing the Northern Lights!
