Itinerary

  1. Tour stop

    If you wish to join a northern light hunt with me you are in good hands. Finding the northern lights is one of my expertise and I have great knowledge of them and to predict the strength and likelihood of what we will see. Although the outcome is still in the hands of mother nature and nothing can be promised. I will be upfront and honest about the likelihood of seeing them on any given night, for you to cancel or go under my suggestions. I am as well capable of taking pictures of you with the lights that you can bring home to show your families and friends. The visibility of the Northern lights is dependent on weather, such as cloud coverage and activity of the lights. Pre-briefing will be held 3 hours before departure, where I will explain our chances and what to expect. In accordance with the briefing you can go one with the tour or schedule for another night. Pre briefing will be sent by Email after last update on cloud cover shortly after 18:00. Expectations are different by people and the Northern lights vary a lot from being a marvelous display to being faint and only visible to a camera for example.

    Pass by without stopping

Know before you go

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Dress warm, in many cases, we will be standing outside in the cold waiting for the lights to show up, standing motionless in the Icelandic night with perhaps a wind chill will take the fun out of even great northern lights
  • Northern lights do look more green and vivid on photographs.
  • The price of the tour is the same, when the lights are weak and when they are strong.
  • Due to nature of the tour being dependent on cloud cover and various space weather data, many nights will be canceled
