Full Description
Leave behind the glow of Reykjavík’s city lights and set out on an unforgettable nighttime journey in search of the Aurora Borealis. During the winter months, these mesmerizing “Northern Lights” paint the sky with dancing colors, creating one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles.
Your expert guides will take you toward the regions where meteorologists forecast the strongest aurora activity. To give you the best viewing conditions, the tour heads far away from artificial light, stopping at carefully chosen dark-sky locations.
Along the way, you’ll learn the science behind this natural wonder—how charged particles from the sun interact with gases in Earth’s atmosphere to create the stunning light display overhead.
There will be several chances to step outside, enjoy the fresh Arctic air, and capture breathtaking photos. Because the ideal viewing spots change daily, the exact route varies, ensuring the greatest possibility of witnessing this magical phenomenon.
As the appearance of the Northern Lights depends on weather and solar activity, sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, if nature doesn’t cooperate, you’ll be invited to join another tour on a different night—free of charge.
