About this experience
Experience the magic of the Northern Lights on a private tour designed for flexibility, comfort, and the best possible chance to see the aurora. Your expert guide from Icetrek will pick you up in Reykjavík and take you away from city lights to carefully selected locations where the sky conditions are most favorable.
Enjoy a relaxed evening under the Arctic sky while your guide helps you capture photos of the aurora and the surrounding landscapes. Warm drinks and local insight make the experience even more memorable.
If the Northern Lights do not appear, you will receive the option to join our standard tour free of charge. This private Northern Lights tour is perfect for families, couples, photographers, and anyone looking for a more personal aurora experience in Iceland.
Itinerary
- Tour stop
Experience the Northern Lights on an exclusive private tour with a local Icelandic guide. Travel in a comfortable 4×4 vehicle, fully equipped for Icelandic winter roads, allowing access to remote locations far from artificial light—where the chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis are highest. Each night, your guide carefully plans the route based on real-time weather and solar activity forecasts, adjusting plans as needed to find clear skies. While waiting for the lights, enjoy hot chocolate, traditional Icelandic snacks, warm blankets, and the peaceful Icelandic night. When the Northern Lights appear, your professional photographer-guide captures high-quality photos of you and your group beneath the aurora—an unforgettable keepsake. Weather conditions are monitored continuously. If the tour is canceled due to poor conditions, you may reschedule or receive a full refund. If no lights are seen, you can rebook once on a standard small-group Northern Lights tour.
