Mesmerizing 3.5-Hour Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik

Experience the mesmerizing beauty of the aurora borealis on this thrilling northern lights tour from Reykjavik. Travelers staying in Iceland's capital should consider booking this 3.5-hour-long adventure for a chance to see one of the world's most fascinating visual spectacles in all its glory.

The fun starts when the sun begins to set in Reykjavik. An experienced northern lights hunting guide will pick you up in a comfortable vehicle at a designated spot in the city. You may ride a minibus, a modern coach, or a jeep. Once you're all buckled up, they will begin driving out of Reykjavik to a spot where the chances of seeing the northern lights are high.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon caused by charged solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field. However, the appearance and visibility of the northern lights are not guaranteed. Moreover, several factors affect their visibility, which includes light pollution. 

This type of pollution comes from artificial lighting, such as streetlights, buildings, and vehicles. These light sources cast an unnatural glow over the night sky, reducing natural darkness. In turn, they make the aurora borealis harder to see.

With your guide's extensive experience, they will take you far from the city and into secluded areas where the skies are clear and dark. As you search for the perfect spot, the guide will talk about the science behind the northern lights. They will share stories about the aurora borealis, as well as folklore surrounding the phenomena.

Unlike modern scientific explanations, these stories reflect the ancient Icelanders' belief in mystical forces and the spirit world, viewing the auroras as beautiful and ominous.

Once the guide finds the right spot, they will stop the vehicle so you can begin looking up the colorful night sky. You'll see the dancing northern lights in shades of green and pink. Sometimes, the colors may turn red or purple. 

A big part of the hunting experience is appreciating how the northern lights create a breathtaking spectacle against Iceland's rugged, open landscapes. As you enjoy the shimmering lights, take a deep breath and feel the Arctic air filling your lungs. 

To immortalize the moment, the guide will take pictures of you with the aurora borealis. You may also take your own photos and ask the guide for tips about getting the best angles.

At the end of the tour, you'll return to your comfortable vehicle for the ride back to Reykjavik.
