Akureyri Northern Lights Tour
Experience the magic of the Northern Lights on a small-group tour from Akureyri. Travel into the beautiful winter countryside of North Iceland and search for the Aurora Borealis with an experienced local guide.
Leave the bright lights of Akureyri behind and head into darker areas with less light pollution. Your guide follows the weather and viewing conditions each evening to find the best possible location for your Northern Lights hunt.
Along the way, discover the winter landscapes surrounding Akureyri and hear Icelandic stories from your local guide. When conditions are right, step outside beneath the Arctic sky and watch for the colourful Aurora Borealis.
Warm up with hot chocolate and biscuits while enjoying the peaceful Icelandic countryside. You can also purchase professional photographs of your Northern Lights experience.
The Akureyri Northern Lights Tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours. The tour includes pick-up and drop-off from selected hotels, guesthouses and meeting points in Akureyri.
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so no tour can guarantee a sighting. If you do not see them, you can join the tour again free of charge the following evening, as long as a group tour operates that night.
