Admiring the northern lights is a dream for many people. With this Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik, you might just be lucky enough to make that dream come true!
Every day, EastWest Iceland's guides keep a close eye on the weather forecast to prepare this tour. When conditions are favorable, the tour is confirmed and you'll set off in a small group of 19 people maximum on a hunt for the northern lights. In a comfortable minibus, you'll drive to a spot far from light pollution to maximize your chances of seeing the aurora.
Once you've found that spot, you can wrap yourself up in a warm Icelandic wool blanket and wait for the northern lights to appear. You'll be served delicious hot chocolate and even have the chance to sample an Icelandic pastry called "kleina". Above your head, the starry sky will already offer a beautiful sight. When the first aurora borealis appear, you'll finally be able to discover the beauty of this natural phenomenon so characteristic of the Nordic regions!
Accessible to all and a must on any trip to Iceland, the Northern Lights viewing tour is an activity not to be missed in Reykjavik! What's more, to suit everyone's needs, this tour departing from Reykjavik is also available as a private tour.
