Northern Lights
This fascinating natural phenomenon known as the Northern Lights, is one of the most mesmerizing sights you will ever come across in your lifetime. The dancing colors and shapes in the dark arctic sky will simply leave you awestruck.
Firstly, your expert Northern Lights guide will pick you up at your selected pick up location in a minibus so you can properly enjoy a small group experience. On the search for the Northern Lights you will travel through some of Iceland's most spectacular natural sights by night time with a very informative guide.
Our guides take photos every time the Northern lights are spotted so you can be sure to get your picture taken with the Aurora.
