Northern Lights Hunt Tour

The tour is perfect if you are looking to cover major attractions of Iceland. It is value for money and recommended if you are travelling to Iceland for the first time. The accommodation provided is excellent and the guide and the bus throughout was very very comfortable and guide was always available in case of any questions. Please book a tour guide with Ellert who is absolutely fabulous. I would recommend this trip to everyone who are visiting Iceland for the first time.

Fantastic, well organised tour that showed how amazing Iceland really is!

A really well organised tour that took us to all the best spots! We managed to see so many amazing sights that were so much better than I expected — glaciers, icebergs, waterfalls, geysirs, diamond beach etc. Even though we saw so much it did not feel too rushed, and we always had the right amount of time to walk around the area. The hotels they picked were both good quality and in great locations. The hotel near Vik was especially great with amazing food, beautiful location and a sauna, hot tub and gym. The guide gave us lots of interesting facts about the history, sights and culture of Iceland. This tour was way better than I expected and I would recommend to anyone who has this amount of time in Iceland.

5 Day Northern Lights & Glacier Lagoon Feb 2025

We travelled 13 - 17 Feb and had a great time, arriving late afternoon to Rekjavik gave us time to explore the sights and lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. The following days were full according to the well planned itinery, allowing enough time to see everything but not feeling rushed, nor feeling that we were hanging around. Our driver (Peter) was great, knowledgeable, informative with a wonderful sense of humour filling travel time with personal stories. Hotels were absolutely fine for the time we were there and great location (Hotel Klettur in Rekjavik and Hotel Katla in Vik) Food and drink was expensive but we knew to expect this. Would just advise against visiting the IceBar, it's an absolute waste of time and money with poor ice sculptures and cheap fizz that tasted awful. Can see that most reviews for ice bar are of a similar vein. But that didn't affect our overall enjoyment of visitngIcsland, we answered why people retun time and again.Don't hesitate- just book it 😀

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear on a Northern Lights Tour?

Dressing warm is the number one rule. More layers don’t always mean more warmth, that’s why we recommend thermal underwear, layered with fleece or down and then a wind- and/or waterproof outer layer like snow pants and a jacket. Don’t forget warm socks and mittens, good shoes, a hat and throw on a scarf just to be safe.

Please keep in mind that Northern Light Tours are operated in late winter evenings when temperature can drop well below 0°C (32°F).

Are there any age restrictions for the tours?

We do welcome participants of all ages, however we do not recommend consecutive multi-day tours for children under the age of five due to the long days.

Travelers of all ages join our tour on the regular. If you have difficulty participating in any of the activities included in any of the tours, you are welcome to hang back and skip it.

Is a boat trip at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon included?

Amazing as that would be, unfortunately Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon freezes over in winter so there are no boat tours operating in the winter months. We'll enjoy the amazing sight that is Jökulsárlón in winter, a view of the lake and glacier, combined with a walk on Diamond Beach make for great photo opportunities.

What is the daily average driving on multi-day tours?

You can expect to spend around 4-5 hours on the bus each day. We drive on average around 300 km (186 miles) per day on our consecutive multi-day tours. During the day we do of course stop at multiple locations for sightseeing, activities, meal stops and bathroom breaks, so in total a full day with stops is around 10 hours.

What meal options are there?

A breakfast buffet is included at the hotel usually offering bread, toppings, yogurt, fruits, cereal, coffee, tea etc.

Your guide also makes sure to find a good place for lunch. Usually opting in for places with a wide selection of dishes on the menu, so there are options for everyone.

We end the day at the hotel restaurant where you can purchase dinner a la carte.

Is breakfast included?

Yes, we're happy to inform you that breakfast is indeed included. A plentiful breakfast buffet with fresh options ranging from fruits and vegetables to pastries and coffee.

Can I join the tour if I arrive in Iceland the same day?

Yes you can. For your convenience we've organized the tour so that it accounts for your day of arrival. You can even add a private airport transfer with us directly. Just add the service during the second step of the booking process.

You'll spend the first night at a hotel in Reykjavík where you'll meet your guide in the morning of the second day.

What if I don’t see any Northern Lights on the hunt?

We're excited to give our guests a bonus experience whenever we can. Although we can't guarantee a northern light show-up on this winter excursion, our guides do monitor the aurora forecast and let guests know if conditions at night are optimal for a viewing.

We've even made sure to book hotels situated away from heavy light pollution to increase our chances.

Please keep in mind that refunds are not issued when a tour takes place but no Northern Lights are seen.

Are Northern Lights guaranteed?

As much as we would like to, we can't guarantee a Northern Light show-up. However, we do choose remote locations away from light pollution to increase the chances of spotting the phenomenal lights.

We've even made sure to book a hotel situated a bit outside of town for an optimal view.
