Stop At: Aurora Borealis, Brakarbraut 10, Borgarnes, Borgarbyggd 310 Iceland

The northern lights, sometimes called aurora borealis, have always been on the sky above Iceland so why not go and see them during your visit to Iceland?

I or one of my guides take you driving for up to one hour into the countryside where we try to find a nice, quiet spot with good view to the sky.

We drive out of the city lights of Reykjavik into the darkness in the countryside trying to find a spot that is as dark as possible. The drive itself takes up to an hour but that depends on the conditions that night.

We watch the sky for one hour or until it's time to head back to Reykjavik. If the lights appear on the sky on the way back then the guide tries to stop ASAP to give you a chance to enjoy the show.

During this tour your private tour guide tends to be very spontaneous, we might do only one stop watching the lights – and maybe more stops – depending on the conditions, the sky and the northern lights.

The goal is to see the northern lights and take photos of the aurora borealis so we are not driving to other places if we see the stars and have a chance to see the sky, the stars and the northern lights when and if they appear on the sky.

The aurora borealis / northern lights tour takes only 3 hours, but you need to dress warm, have winter shoes or warm hiking boots, woolen layers and warm clothes, a parka or a coat plus hat and gloves.

Please notice that the northern lights are frequent in Iceland but there is never a guarantee to see the aurora, how much you see, for how long etc.

Warm drink is included in the tour.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
