Chasing the northern lights is one of the great reasons to visit Iceland, and our northern lights tours give you the best possible chance of catching the aurora dancing overhead. Sitting just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland falls squarely within the auroral zone — so on a dark, clear night with a little solar activity, the sky can erupt in shimmering curtains of green, and sometimes purple and pink.
Because the aurora is unpredictable, the advantage of a guided tour is real: our experienced guides track the forecast and cloud cover in real time and drive you to wherever the skies are clearest that night, far from the city’s glow. Whether you join a cosy small-group minibus, a boat tour out on the bay, or a photography-focused trip that captures you beneath the lights, you’ll travel with people who know exactly where and when to look. Many of our tours even offer a free second attempt if the lights don’t appear, so you can try again on another night.
Dress warmly, bring your sense of wonder, and let us handle the rest — from pickup in Reykjavík to that unforgettable first glimpse of the aurora.
The season runs from roughly late September to early April, when the nights are dark enough. You'll need clear skies and some solar activity. The lights are not visible in summer because of the midnight sun.
No tour can guarantee the aurora, since it depends on nature. However, our guides maximise your chances by chasing the clearest skies, and many tours offer a free second attempt if the lights don't show on your trip.
ほとんどのツアーは、ピックアップ、暗い空の場所へのドライブ、待機と監視に費やした時間、レイキャビクへの帰還など、夕方に約 3 ～ 4 時間開催されます。.
Dress in warm, layered clothing with a windproof outer layer, plus a hat, gloves and warm footwear. You'll be standing outdoors in the cold for a while, so the warmer the better.
