Escape the city’s bright lights and immerse yourself in the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights, just outside the charming town of Akureyri in northern Iceland. As winter casts its spell, this region emerges as one of the prime locations for witnessing the captivating dance of the Northern Lights.
Our nightly destination is meticulously selected, ensuring the best chance of clear skies and prime Northern Lights conditions. These outings can extend late into the night, but don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with soothing hot chocolate to keep you warm while you await this celestial spectacle.
To offer you a more personalized and enjoyable adventure, we maintain small group sizes, typically hosting around 8 participants per tour.

Your convenience is our priority, and we offer complimentary hotel pickup within Akureyri for a hassle-free start to your tour.
