Northern Lights Tour from Akureyri Promises Arctic Sky Spectacle


Travellers in North Iceland are being invited to join a guided evening excursion from Akureyri in search of the Northern Lights. The tour takes visitors away from the town’s illuminated streets into the surrounding countryside, where darker skies improve the chances of viewing the aurora.


Led by experienced local guides, the journey moves through quiet rural landscapes while guests hear traditional Icelandic stories and folklore linked to the night sky. These narratives add cultural depth to the experience as participants await the appearance of the natural light display.


When conditions are favourable, the Northern Lights may be seen sweeping across the sky in vivid shades of green, purple, and blue. Guests are provided with complimentary hot chocolate and biscuits while they watch, adding warmth and comfort to the winter night experience.


The tour also offers professional photography services to capture the moment and includes convenient hotel and guesthouse transfers in Akureyri. If the aurora does not appear, guests are offered a free return trip on another night, ensuring another opportunity to witness one of nature’s most remarkable phenomena.

Amazing experience with Imagine Travel – unforgettable Iceland trip! We had an incredible experience with Imagine Travel during our trip to Iceland. We joined the Northern Lights tour as well as a day trip to Goðafoss, the lava fields, and Hverir – every place was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Ármann, was truly outstanding. He is extremely passionate about his work and has deep knowledge of Icelandic history, culture, and local stories. His storytelling made the journey even more special, and his sense of humour – especially the Viking jokes – made us laugh throughout the trip! He looked after everyone so well, always putting health and safety first, and making sure we felt comfortable and informed at all times. You can really feel how much he loves his country and enjoys sharing it with others. Icelandic culture is truly fascinating, and this experience made me fall in love with the country even more. I’m already looking forward to coming back in the summer to explore even more of this beautiful land. Highly recommend Imagine Travel and especially guide Ármann! ❄️🇮🇸

We had a great time seeing the Northern lights. The forecast wasn’t great and we hadn’t been lucky the night before so we weren’t too hopeful but then they appeared. Also thanks to Norbert our guide who took som photos of us and sent them onto us for no extra cost which was a nice surprise.
