Chasing The Ethereal Northern Lights Across The Dark Icelandic Wilderness On A Guided Expedition
Witnessing the Northern Lights is a bucket-list experience that draws travelers to the Icelandic wilderness during the crisp autumn and winter months. As darkness falls, the sky transforms into a canvas of swirling colors, with vibrant greens and purples dancing across the horizon. This guided excursion takes you far from the artificial glow of Reykjavik, seeking out the most secluded locations where the atmospheric conditions are optimal for viewing this spectacular natural phenomenon in total darkness.
Your journey begins with a meticulous analysis of weather patterns and cloud cover conducted by expert guides the evening before your departure. By monitoring atmospheric data, the team identifies the most promising viewing spots within a ninety-minute radius of the capital. This strategic approach maximizes your chances of success, ensuring that you are positioned in the heart of the action where the auroras are most likely to appear against the backdrop of the vast, silent Icelandic night.
The tour focuses on providing a serene environment away from light pollution, which is essential for both visual enjoyment and high-quality photography. Whether you are a professional photographer or a casual observer, the dark, quiet landscapes offer the perfect setting to capture the shifting shapes and sizes of the lights. Guides are specifically trained to navigate these remote areas safely, helping you set up your equipment to document the celestial display as it unfolds above you.
While the Northern Lights are a natural occurrence and cannot be guaranteed, this tour provides the best possible opportunity to experience them through professional guidance and local expertise. The combination of expert navigation, comfortable transport, and a deep understanding of the local climate ensures a memorable adventure. Prepare for a cold but rewarding night under the stars, where the unpredictable nature of the auroras makes every sighting a unique and deeply personal encounter with the Arctic sky.

Customer Reviews
My friend recommended Northern Lights Tours for me, I booked 3 nights tour & hotel package, everything was very smooth, I really liked every night Aurora looks different shape, color. I had Halley on 1st & 3rd night, Issac on 2nd, both of tour guides are professional, welcoming, made our trip the best ever! I’d like to thank to the driver on Jan 24 night (Mo?), very kind and made our last night more special! Highly recommend Northern Lights Tours who consider Aurora tour and hotel! Thank you again:)
Unforgettable New Year’s Eve Aurora Chase! We had an absolutely amazing aurora chase with Northern Lights Tours and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Julian was helpful with the booking process and arranging our snow gear rental, making everything smooth and stress-free. Our guide Isaac and our driver were both great. We did our chase on New Year’s Eve, and they went the extra mile by preparing hot chocolate and champagne for the group, which made the night feel extra special despite the cold. What really stood out was Isaac’s dedication and persistence. The day was quite cloudy, but he never gave up. He kept checking conditions, moving locations, and doing everything possible to find clear skies. His knowledge, patience, and determination truly paid off. After stopping at our 4th or 5th location, we were finally blessed with beautiful, dancing auroras—an unforgettable sight and the perfect way to ring in the New Year. We didn’t get back to our hotel until around 2:00 a.m., but it was absolutely worth it. Our family of 7, including a 3-year-old, enjoyed the experience completely! Highly recommend Northern Lights Tours if you’re looking for high chances of seeing the Aurora!
Joined Julian and team for 2 nights of Aurora Chasing, a snow mobile tour and rented winter clothing. The winter clothing fitted everyone well, Julian was very flexible in allowing one member of my party to change size for a better fit. The snowmobile was a great experience as we followed the guide into trails and around the frozen lake, getting to operate our own snowmobiles. The highlight of the trip, however, was the 2 nights of Aurora chasing. An experience that could not be better! Julian led the first night and Isaac, the second. Saw the auroras on both nights at different locations. Although the night started abit cloudy, both guides were able to drive till we saw clear skies which allowed us to see the Auroras in the most magnificent form, dancing even. Hot chocolate and maple cookies were provided. The team also took great photos of us and shared it through a google drive link. Communication was good over email as well. 10/10 would recommend
