What To Expect

Start off with the Golden Circle Tour where you'll visit the country's three iconic natural treasures: Þingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian plates have been pulling apart; the erupting geyser that sends water and steam spouting skywards; and the spectacular Gullfoss Waterfall where a glacial river thunders 32 meters into a canyon.After a day of touring around Iceland's most popular sites, as night falls, you will join your guide on a hunt for the northern lights. The knowledgeable northern lights guides will be happy to share stories and information about this ever elusive phenomenon. The Golden Circle Tour is in the morning, which allows for a 3 to 6-hour interval before heading off on the Northern Lights tour. That interval is the perfect opportunity to grab dinner or go around Reykjavík.

  • the Auroras are only visible during the winter months
  • if the Northern Lights portion of the tour is cancelled due to bad weather, and you can't participate in a subsequent tour, you will receive a refund for the Northern Lights portion.
  • in case of an unsuccessful hunt, the tour operator will give you the opportunity to re-book as many times as needed until you successfully witness the Northern Lights. This is a lifetime guarantee
  • the tour includes an in-bus audio guide with a choice of 10 languages, free Wi-Fi, USB chargers in every seat, a photo memory of you and the Northern Lights, and free instructions on how to set up your camera to capture the Northern Lights and the night sky.

Remember to bring:

  • dress appropriately for the weather in warm waterproof clothes, including a waterproof jacket and pants, headwear, gloves, and warm socks/waterproof shoes. Be prepared for sudden weather changes, as you'll be outside at night during the Northern Lights hunt
