Embark on an unforgettable Northern Lights adventure from Reykjavík in a specially modified Super jeep designed to explore off-the-beaten-path locations. Escape the crowds and experience the breathtaking Aurora in the remote Icelandic wilderness.

Your journey begins in Reykjavík, where your guide will pick you up from your hotel or a nearby pick-up point. You'll board a specially modified Super jeep with free Wi-Fi for your convenience. Leaving the city lights behind, you'll head into the vast, dark Icelandic countryside, carefully selecting the best location based on real-time cloud cover and Northern Lights forecasts. This ensures the optimal chance of spotting the Aurora, away from the usual busy tour stops.

This tour takes you to remote locations that are inaccessible to larger buses, providing a more personal and exclusive experience. Along the way, your expert guide will share fascinating information about the science of the Northern Lights, as well as Icelandic myths and folklore surrounding this awe-inspiring phenomenon. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the lights or Iceland’s unique culture.

As the night progresses and the air cools, you'll be treated to a warm cup of hot chocolate, perfect for staying cosy under the starry sky. Your guide will also assist in capturing the perfect photo of you beneath the shimmering Northern Lights, creating a lasting memory.

After several hours of chasing the Northern Lights, you'll be driven back to Reykjavík and dropped off at your hotel, ending a night filled with adventure and discovery.

Success Rates and Re-booking Options

We only run the tour when the Northern Lights forecast is favourable. We carefully monitor weather conditions to ensure the best chances of seeing the Aurora. If conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll notify you by email the day before, offering you the option to reschedule for free or receive a full refund.

While we strive for the best possible conditions, sightings cannot be guaranteed as the Northern Lights are a natural, unpredictable phenomenon. If the forecast is good but we don't see the lights, you'll have the opportunity to rebook a standard bus Northern Lights tour at no extra cost, with the flexibility to reschedule as often as needed until you catch a glimpse of this magical display.
