Northern Lights Tours in Iceland
Chase the Aurora Borealis with Iceland’s aurora and photography experts. We don’t just drive you to a dark field — we actively hunt the lights using real-time forecasts, cloud-gap maps, and years of local experience. And if nature doesn’t cooperate? You come again for free.
The Northern Lights are unpredictable. That’s what makes them magical — and that’s exactly why you need guides who know what they’re doing. Our Northern Lights tours are led by Icelanders who’ve been chasing the aurora for years. They read the KP index, cloud cover forecasts, and wind patterns the way most people read a menu.
All of our Northern Lights tours include a free rebooking guarantee — if we don’t see the lights, you can join another tour at no extra charge. We also provide hot chocolate, warm blankets, and expert photography assistance so you go home with proof, not just memories.
Northern Lights season in Iceland runs from September through March, when nights are long enough and dark enough for aurora viewing.
Northern Lights Photo Tour from Reykjavik
Our most popular aurora experience. Join a small group in a comfortable minibus as our guides drive to the best viewing location based on that night’s conditions. Your guide doubles as a photographer — they’ll help you set up your camera or phone for long-exposure aurora shots you’ll actually want to frame.
Small group (max 19) · Professional photo assistance · Hot chocolate and warm blankets · Free rebooking if no lights · Departs from Reykjavik

Super Jeep Northern Lights Photo Tour
For those who want to go further. Our Super Jeep can reach remote, off-road locations that minibuses simply can’t access — meaning darker skies, fewer people, and a better chance of clear views. Same expert aurora guides, same photo assistance, same rebooking guarantee.
Super Jeep access to remote locations · Smaller group · Professional photo assistance · Free rebooking if no lights · Departs from Reykjavik
