Summary

Step aboard a sightseeing boat and cruise out into the waters of Faxaflói Bay to search for the Northern Lights. The natural phenomenon occurs when particles in the Earth’s atmosphere collide, producing vivid colors in the sky. Learn all about the Northern Lights from your guide, and separate scientific facts from fictional myth. Get out on deck to stargaze outdoors, or hunker down in the viewing area with a hot drink. Refreshments are available to purchase, if you wish. After your tour, return to the start point and finish with a hotel drop-off (if option selected).
