After pickup in Reykjavík, you will be driven out of the city with an experienced Northern Lights guide. Before leaving the city, your guide will decide which direction to take based on the Northern Lights forecast. The best place to view the aurora borealis varies daily, depending on factors such as cloud cover, weather, etc.
Once the route is set, the adventure is on! When the best location is found, you’ll exit the minibus and get warm blankets to stay as warm as possible as you watch the light show above you. Not only that, but you’ll also get hot chocolate and an Icelandic pastry to enjoy.
After what has hopefully been a successful hunt for the Northern Lights, your guide will drop you off at your selected location in Reykjavík.
