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.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
