Traveling in a comfortable minibus, we have the flexibility to go out into the countryside where the giant coaches can't, giving us better access to dark, cloudless areas.

Conquering the Cosmos

The Aurora Borealis is a beautiful, beautiful anomaly, and spotting it requires science, not luck. Our guides aren't just drivers; they are Northern Lights Hunters. Earlier in the day, they look at the Aura forecast and cloud forecasts to map out the best hunting zones. That's how we ensure your best chance of a sighting. After pick up at the meeting point, the group will drive about 90 minutes outside of Reykjavik to find the best spot. You will experience intense excitement when you see this anomaly: it is a truly wise and humbling experience. Remember, your iPhone is powerful, but a small tripod is the key to capturing those amazing photos. We give you the technical know-how to bring home the magic.

Patient Pursuit & Warm Rewards

Chasing the lights demands patience, and arctic patience demands warmth. While the Aurora is shy and unpredictable, we make the waiting comfortable. We provide warming hot chocolate and light Icelandic refreshments because no celestial hunt should be cold or hungry. Please remember to dress in warm, sturdy clothing. We can handle the hunting, but you must conquer the cold.

Flawless Logistics, Guaranteed Second Chance

We stand by our commitment to your perfect Iceland experience. The biggest pain point for any Northern Lights tour is the chance of disappointment, so we eliminate it. In the highly unlikely case of no lights, you join our coach tour on another day for free. This rebooking offer is valid for three years, giving you ample time to return for a second shot at the anomaly. We handle the drop-off back in Central Reykjavik, wrapping up your unforgettable evening flawlessly.

Please note, the tour duration is 4 hours but tour length can vary depending on the weather.

Refunds are not issued for unsuccessful tours. We do, however, allow guests to join a Coach tour on another night for second attempt.
