Akureyri Northern Light Tour

We begin the evening by picking you up directly from your hotel and setting out in a comfortable coach or minibus in search of the Northern Lights. Leaving the bright streetlights of Akureyri behind, we travel into quieter rural areas where darker skies offer better viewing conditions. Named after the Roman goddess Aurora, these magical lights swirl across the sky in shifting colors, patterns, and shapes. Once the Northern Lights appear, we allow plenty of time for you to admire the display and capture memorable photographs.

Throughout history, the Northern Lights have inspired myths and legends across cultures. The ancient Greeks referred to them as the “Dance of the Spirits,” while in medieval Europe they were often believed to be divine signs from God. Icelandic folklore tells stories of angels dancing in the heavens, their flowing garments creating the glowing shapes seen in the night sky. This blend of natural wonder and cultural storytelling makes the experience both enchanting and unforgettable.
