Thrilling 4-Hour Northern Lights Off-Road Small Group Tour from Reykjavik with Photos

Embark on a thrilling off-road adventure in search of the northern lights on this small group tour from Reykjavik. This four-hour experience takes travelers across Iceland’s winter landscapes in search of the beautiful aurora borealis.

The excitement begins when an expert northern lights hunting guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation. You’ll ride a comfortable, 4x4 vehicle that will take you on an off-road trail away from the country’s capital.

Apart from the current weather conditions, the location and light pollution significantly impact the success of your northern lights hunting tour. The key is to find the northern lights outside of the city where there’s no light pollution.

To boost the chances of seeing the northern lights in all its glory, the guide will take you to an area far from the city. Their knowledge and experience will help them find the perfect spots, offering the best possibility to see the northern lights.

Moreover, the capability of a 4x4 vehicle ensures a smoother and safer drive, especially during unpredictable weather conditions. Snow, ice, and rain can make roads inaccessible to most vehicles but a 4x4’s control helps maintain stability and traction.

Once you reach the right spot, you’ll step out of the vehicle and begin gazing at the captivating colors of the northern lights.

Appearing as glowing bands that stretch across the night sky, or raining in dancing rays, the lights can shimmer and swirl while changing colors. You may see the lights in shades of pink, red, purple, and even blue.
