The Northern Lights can be seen in Iceland throughout the winter and although they can be seen from just about anywhere should they appear and the idea of a private tour for a small group is a great option to maximize your possibilities.
First of all just getting out of the city and away from any light pollution enhances the chances a lot and an experienced tour guide will know where to go on any given night for a clear sky or a rift in the clouds and will help you spot the first signs of activity. When going aurora viewing which is on the bucket list of so many it is really worth going all in.
Heading out to hunt for the lights with your own driver, guide and vehicle is a great option, enjoying the lights in a more private atmosphere.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the sightings. If chances are bad or zero on your booked date we will try to find a better day to take you on the tour.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Specialized infant seats are available. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Note that this tour is in private car with driver. The driver is not a professional guide.
In private tours, the driver will arrive at your accommodation approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled departure. Please note that there are traffic restrictions in the city centre for vehicles larger than eight seats. If your group exceeds this size, the pick-up location may not be directly in front of your hotel. The local tour provider will inform you of the nearest pick-up location if direct pick-up is not possible.
