Northern Lights Photo Tour from Reykjavik

About this experience

Your guide collects you from designated pick-up locations in Reykjavík. Once everyone is aboard, you’ll leave the city lights behind and head into the surrounding countryside—where the sky is darkest and aurora visibility is strongest.

Chasing the Northern Lights
Your guide selects the evening’s viewing location based on real-time cloud coverage and aurora forecasts. When conditions align, the Northern Lights begin to shimmer across the sky. Your photography-trained guide assists with camera settings so you can capture the moment like a pro.

Hot Chocolate Under the Arctic Sky
While you wait for the aurora to appear—or admire it if it already has—enjoy hot chocolate, Icelandic chocolates, and warm blankets. This is a relaxed, unhurried moment to take in the silence, the cold air, and the sweeping Arctic night sky.

Return to Reykjavík
After an unforgettable night beneath the stars, your guide drives you safely back to Reykjavík, with drop-off at or near your original pick-up point.
