Northern Lights Evening Tours from Reykjavik with Nature Explorer

The Northern Lights exist in the outmost layer of the atmosphere. They are created by electrically charged particles that make the thin air shine, not unlike a fluorescent light. They can be seen in auroral belts that forms 20-25 degrees around the geomagnetic poles, both the north and the south. The Northern Lights are also called Aurora Borealis. Named after the Roman Godess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas.They are one of the most spectacular shows on this earth and can frequently be seen in Iceland from September through March on clear and crisp nights. Away from the glow of the city, we hunt for the elusive Northern Lights but please note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings can not be guaranteed.

1. Northern Lights Winter Evening Tour

The Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis are one of the most spectacular shows on this earth and can frequently be seen in Iceland from September through March on cold, clear and crisp nights. If the weather conditions are right, we´ll go away from the city lights and find a dark place in the wilderness to enjoy the Northern Lights.

This tour is highly dependent upon weather conditions and therefore we only decide the same day whether we go or not. If you are really serious about seeing the Northern Lights, you should consider a private tour for a few days where we follow the best weather for optimal viewing.

Duration: 2,5 - 3 hours                                                                                     BOOK TOUR
Departures: From your hotel in Reykjavik at 20:30
Price: ISK 48.000 per Super-Jeep (max 5 pax)            
Available: Oct – March but highly dependant upon weather

Please note:  
The NL-evening tours are highly dependant upon weather and unfortunately we haven´t quite mastered the fine art of controlling the weather.
We only go if there is a good chance of seeing the auroras but they are a natural phenomenon and sightings can never be guaranteed.
If we don´t go, there will be no charge to your card. However, if we go but don´t see them, there can be no refund.
If you can be flexible to go another evening, it would improve your chances of going and seeing the auroras.

 2. Winter Mystery Adventure - ideal for families & small groups

We follow the best weather to increase our chances of seeing the Northern Lights. We might go west; see Iceland´s largest hot spring, the beautiful Hraunfossar (Lava Waterfalls) and go off-roading on Langjökull Glacier. Or we might go east; visit the old parliament of Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall. Or we might go along the south shore and see the black sanded beaches, Seljalandsfoss waterfall and go cave exploring... All according to your wishes and the weather forecast. Dinner will be at a local restaurant and we hunt for the Northern Lights on the way back to Reykjavik.
