Small Group 4-Hour Northern Lights Tour with Hot Cocoa, Blankets, & Free Photos

Discover the beautiful northern lights with plenty of comforts on this small-group winter tour from Reykjavik. Travelers seeking an exciting, personalized viewing experience with free photos should grab their seats today!

You will start this excursion when your knowledgeable local guide picks you and your small group up from your meeting points in Reykjavik. The pick-up and the excursion will take place in the evening when the dark skies provide better sky viewing.

Northern lights guides are experts at finding the aurora borealis. They have extensive knowledge of the landscapes around Reykjavik and have access to regular weather updates to see the spots with the least cloud cover and the best forecast.

When you leave the city, you have no set destination, as the conditions are different every night. Some evenings, you may set out to the volcanic, geothermal landscapes of the Reykjanes peninsula. Sometimes, it may be better amongst the mystical red hills, along the shores of the Hvalfjordur fjord, or in the craggy valleys of the Thingvellir Natural Park.

Iceland guarantees a breathtaking foreground for your northern lights display regardless of where you settle. Your guide will also do their best to choose a spot away from other groups so you can have the most peaceful experience possible.

The northern lights are dynamic, and the shapes and patterns you will see are never guaranteed. Whether they descend like rain, dance in dramatic swirls, or hover like vivid clouds, they will provide a breathtaking, unforgettable experience.

Their colors also vary greatly. Though green is the most common, purple and pink are seen in stronger displays, and a range of blues, reds, and whites can appear on particularly dramatic nights.

Unlike many other northern lights tours, this excursion provides hot chocolate and warm blankets to keep you comfortable against the cold winter elements. These are particularly appreciated on evenings when the forecast isn’t as strong and your eyes need to adjust to the darkness.

Furthermore, your guide will take photos of the aurora borealis and your group beneath them so you can focus on soaking up the moment. These photos will be sent to you at the end of the tour.

This tour will only set out if the northern lights are likely to show. If they do not appear, you can retake it without charge until they do.

After an incredible experience marveling over the aurora borealis, your guide will take you and your group back to Reykjavik.
