All About the Northern Lights
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, occur when charged solar particles collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating ribbons of green, pink and violet light. Iceland, away from city lights, is among the best places on earth to view this natural wonder. On clear nights, your guide will lead the group out to handpicked locations promising optimal Aurora activity, all while sharing tales from Icelandic mythology and expert tips for making your sighting unforgettable. Did you know ancient Norse legends saw the lights as a bridge to Valhalla?
Added Comfort and Warmth
Stay warm and cozy with optional inclusions like Icelandic hot chocolate and snacks or the use of woolen blankets, available on select experiences. Some tickets also grant admission to Aurora Centre Reykjavik—a fantastic prelude where you can learn even more about the auroras through immersive exhibits.
Memorable Moments to Take Home
With luck and clear skies, digital photos of your night beneath the northern lights will be included to remember your adventure forever. The expert team will do everything possible to maximize your sighting chances but remember, the aurora is a natural phenomenon and appearances can never be guaranteed. Patience and flexibility will reward you with the best chances.
