Premium Northern Lights Tour
The Premium Northern Lights Tour provides one of the best experiences for viewing the breathtaking Northern Lights in Iceland. Travelers board a comfortable minibus with a small group, which ensures an intimate adventure while searching for the captivating lights in the night sky.
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, occur when solar winds collide with the Earth’s magnetic field. This stunning light show happens high in the atmosphere and is often visible in high-latitude regions like Iceland. Witnessing the Northern Lights ranks among nature’s most incredible displays and should definitely be on every winter traveler’s bucket list.
After pickup in Reykjavík, guests drive away from the city’s light pollution with an experienced Northern Lights guide. This guide knows exactly where to go to maximize the chances of seeing vivid displays. Moreover, the daily routes change based on weather conditions and cloud cover, allowing guests to visit the best spots.
Once the ideal viewing location is found, guests exit the minibus to marvel at the shimmering lights. They will have ample time to take photographs, and the guide can assist with camera settings to capture the best images.
After an exhilarating Northern Lights adventure, the tour returns to Reykjavík. With a comfortable atmosphere, expert guidance, and a strong focus on finding optimal viewing conditions, the Premium Northern Lights Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Iceland in winter. Don’t miss the chance to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle!
