Northern Lights
Duration: ~5 hours
Season: September – April
Experience one of nature’s most magical wonders on a private Northern Lights chase through Iceland’s silent, open landscapes.
Description
Imagine standing beneath a vast, star-filled sky…
A faint green glow appears in the distance — then it begins to dance, twist, and stretch across the darkness like a living ribbon. Watching the Aurora Borealis feels emotional, powerful, and unreal all at once.
On this private tour, we escape the city lights and head into the countryside, where the skies are clearer and the atmosphere is calm. Your professional driver-guide chooses the best locations based on real-time forecasts, giving you the highest chance to witness the aurora in comfort and style.
Every aurora is different — soft and gentle one night, wild and bright the next. Whether you’re seeing them for the first time or the tenth, the magic is unforgettable.
