Small Bus Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik @ 9:30 pm

Take a guided group tour out of Reykjavik to search for the Aurora Borealis. Watch a unique starry sky as a burst of light sweeps the Icelandic terrain.

Itinerary

We meet at specific hotels outside of central Reykjavik as well as the tour bus stops there. Depending on the season, our groups might range in size from 30 to 40 people.

Since it is more difficult to see the northern lights from Reykjavik, the tour will take place as far outside the city boundaries and away from light pollution as possible. The final destination is not known in advance because it will depend on the amount of cloud cover and nighttime activity. The drive will be as short as possible, and you may need to make multiple stops because the lights can be difficult to find. It is frequently a waiting game for this stunning phenomenon, but it is always worthwhile. If we have a site that the guide deems to be a decent location, we might stay in that spot.

Your guide will set up their camera to take pictures of your group as you look for the Aurora Borealis. Your tour guide will make sure that everyone has a chance to take a picture. As we wait for the aurora to appear, cuddle up under cozy blankets, indulge in a self-service selection of hot chocolate and nibbles, and enjoy some stargazing.

Within seven days of your tour, if our quest is successful, we email images to the email supplied when you made the reservation using a drop-box link.

This tour is weather-dependent; Each day we evaluate the conditions and decide if we should run the tour. If a trip is canceled due to bad weather, you will be notified by 5 PM. If you have any queries, feel free to write us at booking@iceland-highlights.com.

We have a maximum group size of 35–40 people per vehicle, and on our larger vehicle trip, there is a private guide, photographer, and driver for the group to keep everyone warm and comfortable in the bus with ample room.
