Highlights
Explore Iceland's countryside in pursuit of the Northern Lights
Spot the amazingly beautiful phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Iceland's auroral activity is among the best in the northern hemisphere because of its close proximity to the Arctic Circle and the magnetic pole. On this most sought-after Northern Lights tour, your adventure starts with a pickup from Reykjavik for an exciting search of the Aurora Borealis. Due to the aurora Borealis' unpredictable daily location, your guide will drive you far from the city lights to remote areas in South Iceland like Hvalfjörður, Þingvellir, and Reykjanes to avoid light pollution. By traveling in a minibus, you can access unique locations that larger buses cannot reach.
During the minibus tour, your guide will take a free photograph of you and the aurora, which you will be able to see online after the tour. This is a moment you will undoubtedly want to capture on film! Capture either the common green and yellow auroras, the stunning blue, violet, and rose, or the rarest red that can be seen in Iceland more than anywhere else in the world.
Please note: As the success of the northern lights tour is heavily dependent on weather conditions, the guides reserve the right to cancel the northern lights part of the tour until 18:15 on the day of the tour if the aurora forecast is not looking good.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
