Private Northern Lights Tour – With Lobster Dinner

Discover the Northern Lights and Enjoy a Gourmet Meal in the Village

A Three-Course Lobster Dinner and Skywatching’s Holy Grail

You’ve seen the Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis) in pictures. But there’s nothing like experiencing this cinematic phenomenon in person. Let our guides take you on a journey to Iceland’s first part of the South Coast, where you’ll be treated to dinner in a seaside village before venturing out in search of the Northern Lights.

Dinner in the Enchanted Village of Stokkseyri

Your private guide will pick you up at your hotel room and take you on a picturesque countryside drive. When you first arrive in Stokkseyri, you’ll breathe the salt-touched sea air and take in the village’s corrugated iron houses overlooking the harbor.

As you enjoy a gourmet meal, you’ll experience breathtaking views of towering volcanoes, the vast ocean, and the seemingly endless expanse of hayfields.

Stokkseyri is a place that seems almost magical. Visitors often find themselves reluctant to leave. Ask anyone who’s been — Stokkseyri is a place that reaches the soul.

An Unforgettable Night Under the Lights

The Northern Lights have dazzled skywatchers and scientists for millennia. These shimmering curtains of green, blue, and purple dance through the sky, creating a light show that mesmerizes like no other.

The Northern Lights only become more spectacular when you understand how they form. The process begins when the sun sends energized particles into Earth’s upper atmosphere. The particles travel at speeds of up to 45 million mph (72 million kph).

Fortunately, Earth’s magnetic field protects us from this celestial onslaught. It redirects these supercharged particles toward the poles of the planet. As the particles collide with the various gases in the atmosphere, they create tiny flashes of light. Together, these flashes create the Northern Lights at the North Pole and the Southern Lights (or Aurora Australis) at the South Pole.

Book Early to Maximize Your Chances of a Sighting

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so we can’t guarantee that we’ll see them on your tour. Our guides will reschedule with you if the forecast indicates the lights won’t be visible. For that reason, we strongly suggest that you book your tour for your first night in town.

You do not need to print out your e-ticket for environmental responsibility purposes.
The total duration of this tour depends on whether the Northern lights need to be hunted.
Sightings of Northern lights can never be fully guaranteed, even with detailed predictions, since Northern lights and weather anomalies are natural phenomena.
We try only to go out if the forecast indicates favourable conditions for the Northern lights to be visible, and we always go by the same-day forecast when predicting possible visibility for each evening.
In some cases, we may need to delay or cancel your tour due to unfavourable weather or road conditions for your safety.
A refund can only be made if we need to cancel your tour due to unfavourable weather conditions.
Dress according to the weather by wearing warm and wind-/waterproof clothing in layers and bring gloves and a hat.
Wear suitable footwear, preferably waterproof with a good grip, in case of slippery conditions due to ice, rain, or gravel paths.
Access to restroom facilities can vary.
Please respect nature – do not throw out trash or walk on any moss.
