Tour Description

Discover Iceland’s mesmerizing Northern Lights on a small-group tour, specially designed to maximize your chances of witnessing the aurora borealis.

During the tour, our guides will take quality photos of you and the aurora, which you’ll receive for free after the tour as a lasting memory.

And don’t worry about missing the lights — if they don’t show up at first attempt, you can join another tour on the next available night for free. Book now, as spaces fill up quickly during the peak Northern Lights season from September to April.
