The Northern Lights Adventure
Away from the city lights with local aurora experts
Join our expert guides as we leave the city lights behind to find the perfect dark spot for the Aurora Borealis. Traveling in a comfortable minibus with a maximum of 17 passengers — usually 10 or fewer — we offer a personal, intimate experience of nature’s most spectacular light show.
How the night works
Itinerary and timings can vary slightly with weather and conditions.
Pickup in Reykjavik
From your hotel or designated stop. 21:00 in Sep and Mar, 20:30 in Oct and Feb, 20:00 Nov–Jan.
Out of the light pollution
Your guide shares the science and folklore of the aurora as we drive away from the city.
The hunt
Our specialists pick the spot from the latest Kp-index and real-time cloud cover — one ideal location, or several if that gives better chances.
Back in Reykjavik
After approximately 2–4 hours.
Departure confirmation and cancellation
We make the final decision to run or cancel no later than 6 PM each day, after checking the latest weather and aurora data, and contact you right away.
Choose a new date, or a 100% refund if a date change isn’t possible.
We only head out when chances are good. If the lights don’t appear, you get a free second attempt on another night.
Cancel up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund, no reason needed.
