Northern Lights Tour

Join us on a tour outside Reykjavik for an exciting hunt for the Northern lights. During certain weather conditions, i.e. on crispy cold and still winter evenings this magnificent natural wonder can be seen, dancing across the arctic sky.

Tour features

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis are a spectacular natural phenomenon, often seen dancing around in fantastic colours across the Arctic sky. The Northern lights originate from the sun, where large explosions and electronic storms throw flares and solar particles deep into space. These clouds of solar particles are caught by the Earth’s magnetic field on the south and north poles. The solar particles collide with the atmospheric gases and create this wonderful light effect, known as the Aurora Borealis.

When can they be seen? Northern Lights can be seen when certain weather conditions are fulfilled, usually during crispy cold and very still evenings.
