The Definitive Chase
For many, catching the Northern Lights is the entire motivation for visiting Iceland, and we take that mission seriously. Why trust your bucket-list moment to anyone less than the best? Our operational team and guides boast decades of combined experience in hunting this spectacle. Forget set routes: our guides study the aurora and cloud forecasts, ensuring we drive no more than 90 minutes from Reykjavik to find the absolute clearest patch of sky available.
Commitment to the Lights
The experience is a commitment: you will step out of the bus into the deep, dark Icelandic countryside, leaving the city behind. You’ll be patiently waiting in the cold, but we reward your dedication by pouring unlimited amounts of our special hot chocolate. When those first faint streaks appear, you’ll feel the ultimate thrill, quickly turning into the magnificent sight of the lights "dancing in the sky." As one traveler confirmed, “We were hesitant about booking... and it turned out great... There was never a dull moment and the lights went on and on dancing in the sky.”
Expert Assurance
We provide the knowledge and the equipment, even offering advice on the best camera settings to capture the aurora. We are so confident in our hunting abilities that every ticket comes with a free retry tour, valid for three years, should nature be having an off night, a testament to the trustworthiness of our Reykjavik Tours. This is, quite simply, the essential choice for chasing the aurora and easily the most expert of all Reykjavik Night Tours.
