About this experience
One of the most extraordinary natural phenomena on the planet - the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, light up Iceland's winter skies from late August to mid-April. This guided evening tour takes you away from the city lights of Reykjavík to the best available locations each night, maximising your chances of witnessing the aurora in all its glory. With hotel pick-up and drop-off included, expert guides who know exactly where and when to hunt the lights, and a free rebooking guarantee if the aurora doesn't appear, this is the smartest and most stress-free way to chase the Northern Lights in Iceland.
What's Included:
Return Bus Transfer: Hotel pick-up and drop-off included from a wide range of Reykjavík hotels, guesthouses, and hostels.
Professional Local Guidance: Expert guides who study weather conditions, aurora forecasts, and optimal locations on a daily basis to give you the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
Free WiFi: Complimentary WiFi on board throughout your journey.
Free Rebooking Guarantee: If the Northern Lights are not visible during your tour, you are invited to join a future tour free of charge. Please note that a refund is not available if you have already joined a departure but did not see the lights.
Photography Guidance: Your guides will provide tips and assistance on how to capture the best possible photos of the aurora throughout the evening.
You MUST email [email protected] with your hotel details as soon as you receive your e-ticket to reconfirm your booking. Please include your booking reference, departure date, and surname in the subject line. For any issues please contact 00354 580 5400.
This tour is weather dependent and Northern Lights sightings are not guaranteed. If the weather and aurora forecast is not promising, the tour may be cancelled - guests will be offered the option to rebook for another date or receive a full refund, provided they have not already joined a departure.
Once you have joined a departure, the tour is non-refundable regardless of whether the Northern Lights are visible.
If you do not see the Northern Lights during your tour, you are invited to rebook for another evening free of charge. Please note that rebooking tickets are personal and non-transferable.
The tour uses larger coaches and is not a small group experience. Small group tours are also available - please see the Northern Lights Small Group Tour option.
Please note that larger buses are restricted from entering Reykjavík city centre. You will need to transfer to a drop-off bus at BSÍ Bus Terminal which will take you to your designated bus stop or hotel.
Pick-up starts 30 minutes before your scheduled tour departure. Please be ready and visible at your pick-up location in time. If you miss your pick-up, you will need to make your own way to BSÍ Bus Terminal at your own cost.
This tour is available seasonally from late August to mid-April only.
Indicated return times can vary due to road and weather conditions.
Children are welcome on the tour, however as this can be a long and cold evening, it may not be suitable for children under 6 years old.
Please note that the search for the aurora takes you away from the city and away from conventional facilities. Dress warmly and wear sturdy, waterproof footwear. Recommended clothing includes thermal layers, a winter hat, scarf, gloves, and warm socks.
Cancellation policy: A 100% cancellation fee applies to bookings cancelled 24 hours or less before the tour.
Transfers are available to and from designated bus stops across Reykjavík. If your hotel is not listed below, your pick-up and drop-off point will be BSÍ Bus Terminal - from here you will need to make your own way to and from your hotel at your own expense.
