Northern Lights and Stargazing:Small Group Tour with Local Guides from Reykjavik

Highlights

  • Tour goes out only when conditions are favorable, with option to reschedule

  • Hassle-free round-trip transport from your Reykjavik hotel

  • Small-group tour limited ensures a personalized experience with your guide

Summary

Expect an email confirming the tour the day-of, a decision based on weather. Your guide picks you up from your Reykjavik hotel by 4x4 vehicle and leads the way into the countryside to spot the Northern Lights. With good planning and a little luck, you watch the Northern Lights dance across the evening skies. Peer into the provided telescope as your guide points out constellations and planets. Your tour includes a photograph with the Aurora Borealis behind you if it’s visible. Note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings can never be guaranteed. Relax and soak up the scenery with a hot chocolate and a pastry, then return in comfort to your Reykjavik hotel. Tour duration depends on the time of year and weather conditions. Tours may be canceled as late as 6:30pm due to unfavorable weather conditions.
