Highlights

On this private Northern Lights hunt, your local guide will take you away from the crowds to secluded locations with the best chance of seeing the aurora. We’ll drive through the countryside in search of clear skies and optimal viewing conditions, avoiding the bus-filled tourist hotspots. Your guide will share insights into the science and folklore behind the Northern Lights, and capture professional photos of the aurora—and of you beneath it—using a high-quality camera and tripod. Warm drinks are provided to keep you comfortable while we wait for nature’s light show to appear.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
