Northern Lights Small Group Tour from Reykjavík

Head out from Reykjavík on a small-group Northern Lights tour in search of the spectacular Aurora Borealis. With fewer passengers per guide, this tour offers a more personal way to experience Iceland’s winter night sky.

Throughout the day, the Northern Lights team monitors weather and cloud conditions to identify the most promising viewing areas for the evening. The destination can therefore change from night to night as your guide searches for the best available conditions.

A Small-Group Northern Lights Experience

Travelling in a smaller group gives you more personal attention from your experienced guide and creates a relaxed atmosphere while searching for the aurora.

The tour lasts approximately four hours and includes pick-up and drop-off. During the evening, you’ll also enjoy hot chocolate and refreshments while waiting for the Northern Lights.

Searching for the Best Viewing Conditions

There is no fixed destination for a Northern Lights hunt. Instead, the route is selected according to the weather and viewing conditions each evening.

This flexibility allows the team to travel towards locations where conditions appear most favourable and away from unnecessary light pollution.

Remember that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon. Even with careful forecasting and experienced guides, sightings can never be guaranteed.

What If You Don’t See the Northern Lights?

If you don’t see the Northern Lights during your small-group tour, you can reschedule free of charge for another evening on BusTravel Iceland’s non-premium Northern Lights Bus Tour.

The complimentary rebooking applies to the standard bus tour rather than another small-group premium departure.

Who Can Join?

The minimum age for this Northern Lights tour is 8 years.

The activity is rated Very Easy, making it suitable for most travellers who are comfortable spending time outdoors in Icelandic winter conditions.

Warm clothing and good, sturdy shoes are strongly recommended.
