Northern lights

Staring skywards at the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is an experience that cannot be captured on film, brought indoors, or fully described. Iceland lies directly under the Northern Lights belt, making it one of the best places on Earth to witness this natural spectacle. The country’s variable weather conditions increase your chances of seeing the lights, as even a small break in the clouds at the right time can reveal them. This is not a conventional tour with fixed stops; instead, it is a hunt guided by the expertise of your Superjeep driver and the Mountain Taxi team, who constantly monitor conditions to maximize sightings. If the weather is unfavorable, the trip may be adjusted or postponed, ensuring safety and quality of experience.

Our Superjeeps are crucial for getting as far into darkness as possible, away from city lights, road traffic, and other sources of light pollution. Traveling off road and over snow if necessary, these vehicles allow you to experience the Northern Lights in their full glory. Even if the Auroras do not appear, the journey itself is memorable, with dramatic Icelandic landscapes and the thrill of adventure. For those determined to catch the elusive lights, Mountain Taxi provides the expertise, equipment, and flexibility to make the most of every opportunity under the Icelandic sky.
