Journey into the Icelandic countryside and see the awe-inspiring magical aurora in all its regal glory!
The Northern Lights in Iceland are undoubtedly nature’s greatest show, one that everyone should see once in their life. The aurora borealis illuminates Iceland’s skies through the winter season, a magical bucket-list experience that will remain with you forever.
Our exhilarating aurora hunt departs from Reykjavik and takes you deep into Iceland’s rural heartlands, leaving the city lights behind and providing the perfect conditions to witness the heavenly light show. If you’re looking to see something supernatural and cross the Northern Lights off your bucket list, then this is the tour for you!
Upgrade to a Super Jeep for a unique ride on Icelandic secret roads! Our specially designed super jeeps give us the flexibility to go wherever we want, even on dirt and gravel roads. These vehicles have a greater chance to escape the well-trodden paths and allow for the best chance for a near-private viewing.

We’ll collect you from your Reykjavik accommodation or a nearby pick up location, and drive into the velvety dark of night in search of the heavenly light show that illuminates the winter night sky.
Part of the charm of the Aurora Borealis in Iceland is its elusiveness and one of the main parts of our tour is the thrill of the chase. The aurora forecast changes daily, so we can’t tell you exactly where we will go. But if luck is with us, before long, we’ll spy the dancing colors of the Northern Lights above one of Iceland’s iconic attractions such as - Þingvellir, Reykjanes or Kirkjufell. Our well-designed mini buses allow us to go to off-the-beaten-track locations in Iceland’s rural heartlands – meaning that we won’t need to worry about light pollution.

The Northern Lights have enchanted sky gazers for millennia and almost every culture that has ever witnessed them has considered them to be of divine origin. They can appear dramatically or subtly spraying vivid colors across the dark sky. Flickering patterns then begin to emerge as the swirling colors create surreal shapes that will leave you breathless.
We now know that the dancing lights are a result of charged particles from the sun hitting Earth’s magnetic field. Green and yellow auroras are the most common, but we also see blue, violet and rose auroras. Red auroras are the least common, however, they happen more in Iceland than anywhere else in the world. Whatever color we see – the Northern Lights are nature’s most unrivaled light show and they never fails to astonish!
