Northern Lights Minibus Tour from Reykjavík
Experience the magic of the Aurora Borealis on a small-group Northern Lights minibus tour from Reykjavík. Travel with a professional local driver-guide and a maximum of 19 guests as you leave the city lights behind in search of Iceland’s spectacular night sky.
Each evening, the route is carefully planned using the latest weather and aurora forecasts. Your guide will choose the most promising viewing locations based on the conditions that night. Since the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, every tour is different and sightings can never be guaranteed.
A Small-Group Northern Lights Experience
Travelling by minibus allows the group to search for good viewing conditions while keeping the experience personal and comfortable. With no more than 19 passengers, you’ll avoid the feel of a large coach tour and have more time to enjoy the experience with your guide.
The minibus also offers free WiFi and USB charging, making the journey comfortable while you travel between viewing locations.
Hot Chocolate, Icelandic Pastries & Wool Blankets
Northern Lights hunting can mean spending time outside on cold Icelandic nights. To make the experience more comfortable, Icelandic wool blankets are available during the tour.
You’ll also enjoy hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries while waiting beneath the night sky.
If conditions allow, photos from your Northern Lights experience are included at no additional cost.
What If You Don’t See the Northern Lights?
Even with experienced guides and detailed forecasts, the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed.
If you join the tour but no Northern Lights are seen, you can join the tour again on another available date free of charge, subject to availability.
This gives you another opportunity to search for the aurora while you’re in Iceland.
