Why take this tour?

On this tour, we'll whisk you away from the city lights and into the wilderness to enjoy a stargazing opportunity under the Icelandic sky. While waiting for the Northern Lights at our chosen spot, we'll have ample time to use our powerful stargazing telescope to explore the intricate details of the planets in our solar system, including their moons and deep-space phenomena light-years away. Prepare to be blown away by the sights you will experience. Imagine witnessing all of this under the dancing lights of the Icelandic sky as Aurora Borealis performs her show of dazzling colors. For a sighting of Aurora Borealis, we need three things to align: a solar storm, darkness, and a clear sky.

What’s included?
