Northern Lights – 21:30 PM
Escape the light pollution of the city and go with us outside Akureyri to see the amazing Northern lights. The Northern Lights viewings for this winter are looking very promising and there are few better places to see them than in the north of Iceland.

Where we head each night depends on where we think it’s most likely to find clear sky and the best conditions to enjoy the lights.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon. Sightings cannot be guaranteed even if the tour is operated.

We decide around 6pm every day if the conditions are favorable to operate the tour. Please call us at +354 844 8388 or send an email at [email protected] on the day you are booked to see if the tour is running that day.
