Overview
The Northern Lights can be seen in Iceland throughout the winter and although they can be seen from just about anywhere should they appear and the idea of a private tour for a small group is a great option to maximize your possibilities.
First of all just getting out of the city and away from any light pollution enhances the chances a lot and an experienced tour guide will know where to go on any given night for a clear sky or a rift in the clouds and will help you spot the first signs of activity. When going aurora viewing which is on the bucket list of so many it is really worth going all in.
Heading out to hunt for the lights with your own driver, guide and vehicle is a great option, enjoying the lights in a more private atmosphere.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the sightings. If chances are bad or zero on your booked date we will try to find a better day to take you on the tour.
