FAQs about Iceland Northern Lights tour packages

What are the northern lights.

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a natural phenomenon found in Iceland and other Arctic countries. They’re caused by the solar wind – streams of particles given off by the Sun – interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field.

You’ll notice them as colorful ribbons of blue, green, purple, and sometimes red light dancing across the sky. They’re a breathtaking sight and one that’ll stick in your mind.

Find out more about them in this guide to the Northern Lights .

When can you see the Northern Lights in Iceland?

The Aurora are actually there all year round, but to be able to see them you need darkness. This means you’ll want to visit in the winter months of October to March to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland.

They start to become visible in the fall , from the very end of August onwards, and can be spotted as late as April , during spring in Iceland . The only thing is the nights are shorter, so there’s less pure darkness, meaning it can be trickier to see the Aurora during that time.

Luckily, there’s plenty to do in Iceland in winter. It’s a great time to visit, Northern Lights or not!

Where is the best place to see the Northern Lights in Iceland?

Any spot with low levels of light pollution should be good for hunting the Aurora. To find one, you’ll need to head out into the countryside, away from the city lights.

Of course, the Northern Lights are even more gobsmacking if you’re standing in an incredible landscape. Find out all about the best places to see the Northern Lights in Iceland .

You can also join Northern Lights tours led by experienced tour guides. They’ll take you out to an ideal hunting location and give you photography tips! You can even join the next excursion for free if you don’t spot them the first time around.

What is the best weather for seeing the Northern Lights?

To see this natural light show, you need 3 things:

• Clear conditions
• A dark night sky
• High levels of solar activity

Whilst you’re in Iceland, make sure to keep your eye on the weather forecasts for the right conditions. The weather doesn’t affect the intensity of the lights themselves, but you won’t be able to see them if there’s cloud cover.

If you get the right conditions, you might be lucky to enough to spot the magical Northern Lights twirling overhead.

How do you take pictures of the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights are best seen with your own eyes, but it’s definitely possible to take a great picture of them with the right gear. You’ll need an SLR camera or a phone that allows you to take long exposures.

For the lights to show up on film, you should adjust the exposure time on your camera to at least 30 seconds or even a few minutes. It’s also worth bringing a tripod to keep the image nice and steady.

Capturing the lights on camera can make them look more vivid. With a bit of trial and error, you can get that jaw-dropping snap!

What else can you do on an Iceland Northern Lights vacation?

The Northern Lights season falls during Icelandic winter, when there is a whole bunch of exciting stuff to see and do:

• Explore glittering ice caves under the surface of a glacier
• Marvel at icicle-clad waterfalls on the south coast
• Relax and unwind in the warming hot springs
• Watch the Strokkur geyser erupt on the Golden Circle route
• Join a glacier snowmobiling or hiking tour
• See icebergs drift out to sea at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon
• Spot snow-capped mountains in the distance
• Go whale watching off the coast of North Iceland
• Walk between the tectonic plates in Þingvellir National Park
• Dive into culture at Reykjavík’s museums and galleries

For even more ideas, see this guide to Iceland winter must-sees and must-dos .

What’s the weather like in Iceland in Northern Lights season?

In Iceland in winter, you can expect to see snow and ice on the mountaintops and on the ground. You’ll also feel a wintry wind, so make sure to wrap up warm!

Temperatures are low too, but not as low as you might expect. In December in Reykjavík for example, the average is around 1°C (34°F). It’ll be a few degrees colder in the countryside though.

The weather in Iceland turns on a dime. So don’t worry if the sky is looking overcast, it probably won’t be long until it clears up.

On these chilly winter nights, it’s lovely to stew in the Blue Lagoon or a local ‘hot pot’ (hot tub) after a day’s exploring. There are also plenty of natural hot springs if you’re after a wilder experience.

What’s included with your Iceland Northern Lights trips?

We offer a wide range of Northern Lights tours in Iceland. With all of our trips, you get:

• Accommodation
• Local transport
• Detailed itinerary

What’s more, all of the bus tour packages on this page include a Northern Lights excursion, with the chance to go out again if you don’t spot the Aurora.

Some of these packages also include activities such as ice caving or lava caving . Use the filters above to find these adventure-packed trips.

How do I book my trip with Iceland Tours?

Start by exploring the trips above. There are plenty of different ways to travel, including self-drive tours , multi-day tours from Reykjavík , guided group tours , and private tours .

On a self-drive trip, you can set your own pace and stop as little or as often as you like. This means you have the freedom to spend hours chasing down the Northern Lights if you want to.

On a multi-day trip, you’ll be joining different bus tours from Reykjavík each day. This includes a Northern Lights excursion on one evening. And you get the chance to go out again if you don’t catch the lights.

On a privately guided trip, your driver-guide will take you around all the main attractions. This also means you’ll get to chase the Northern Lights in a lesser-visited spot and get tips from a local pro!

Not sure how long your trip should be? Check out this guide to how many days you need in Iceland in winter .

Can I customize my Northern Lights trip?

Absolutely! With Iceland Tours, it’s easy for you to choose your preferred rental car (self-drive trips only) and accommodation level.

You can also extend your Iceland Aurora tour with extra nights before or after. You can add excursions on these days to see even more of Iceland’s incredible wintry landscapes, or simply chill in town. And you can make all of these changes yourself at checkout.

If you want to customize your trip further, you can get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help. Please note a customization fee applies in this case, see our terms and conditions for details.

When should I book my vacation?

It’s good to book your Iceland Northern Lights vacation a few months in advance. That way, you have plenty of time to get ready. This also means you can secure your trip with a low deposit of just 5%.

We accept bookings up to a week before your planned start date. If you book with less than 30 days’ notice though, you would need to pay the full trip price when you book.

Booking ahead is also a good idea to ensure there is good availability for your planned travel dates. Places can be limited, especially for Christmas and New Year’s tours , so don’t delay!

What should I pack for my Northern Lights trip?

Make sure you stay warm and comfortable in Iceland’s wintry weather by taking these things with you:

• Sturdy walking boots
• Warm winter coat
• Cozy thermal layers, such as sweaters and fleeces
• Waterproof trousers
• Wooly scarf, hat, and gloves
• Sunglasses (for low winter sun)
• Moisturizer and lip balm
• Swimming gear

The humidity in Iceland is low all year round, but especially in winter. Moisturizer will help keep your skin soft and comfortable.

It’s a good idea to throw in a pair of sunglasses, particularly if you’re driving. The winter sun tends to stay fairly close to the horizon.

What are the northern lights.

The northern lights are caused by particles from the sun. It's actually the interaction of these sun particles with the upper atmosphere. This only happens around the Earth's Magnetic Poles. The interaction creates the wonderful light effect known as the aurora borealis. Check out the latest aurora forecast in Iceland and read up on our more extensive overview of the northern lights in Iceland !

The northern lights are a truly spectacular natural phenomenon. It's one of those things that even seasoned Icelanders never get enough of. They are often seen dancing across the Icelandic Arctic sky in fantastic colours and vibrant hues. While they are sometimes visible from Reykjavik city, we highly recommend joining a professional tour. That way you can escape the city lights to enjoy the show to its fullest. Our expert guides study the weather and aurora forecast and provide tips on how to capture the light display. To come extra well prepared, read our guide on how to conquer your phone or camera to capture the northern lights and truly rule your instagram.

Tour Description

Begin your night of northern lights exploration with our prompt and efficient pickup service in central Reykjavik. We conveniently collect passengers from designated hotels, tour bus stops throughout central Reykjavík, or our meeting point, based on your preference. Once all passengers are on board, we leave the glow of city lights behind and venture into the darkness of the Icelandic countryside.

Northern Lights Excursion Distinguished by its flexible approach, our tour does not adhere to a fixed itinerary or route. Typically staying within a 90-minute drive from Reykjavík, our guides prioritize locations with clear skies and minimum light pollution. Prior to the evening, they diligently analyze aurora and cloud forecasts, allowing them to identify optimal spots for viewing the lights.

Throughout the journey, your knowledgeable guide will regale you with stories and insights about the northern lights and Iceland. Upon reaching a chosen location where the lights are likely to make an appearance, you'll have the chance to stretch your legs while awaiting the light show.

Given the unpredictable nature of the northern lights, patience is key during the wait. Your guide will provide complimentary hot chocolate and light refreshments to make this more enjoyable.

While we hope for a successful display at the initial location, our commitment remains unwavering if nature doesn't cooperate. Our Troll team pledges to go the extra mile to fulfill your aurora dreams, even if it means venturing to an alternative site.

In the Absence of Lights Despite our cloud and aurora forecasts and the expertise of our guides, the northern lights can be elusive. Their appearance is not guaranteed as a natural phenomenon, but it is more likely during the Northern Lights Season. If you don't witness the lights on your tour, fret not. You can join our tour again on another night at no extra cost. Unfortunately, refunds are not provided for tours without successful light sightings.

As the night concludes, we'll safely return you to central Reykjavik, dropping you off at the same location where you were initially collected.

About Northern Lights Day Tours in Iceland

Hunting down the auroras alone can be a bit tricky , and winter driving conditions can be hazardous, especially for people who aren’t used to driving in the snow, fog, or slippery roads. It can save valuable time to book a tour with one of our professional guides. They know the perfect spots that are optimal for viewing the Northern Lights, which can change on any given day.

With more than 20 Northern Lights tours on offer, how do you find the perfect one to suit your trip? Well, that depends on what you’re expecting from your time in Iceland.

If you’re in Reykjavík for just a night or two, a day trip is the ideal bite-sized package for your layover or weekend. The Magical Auroras Northern Lights tour is our all-time bestselling day tour! Head out in either a minibus or upgrade to a Super Jeep on the Northern Lights Explorer . And with a few hours left over, there’s still plenty of time to squeeze in the stunning Blue Lagoon before your day tour! If you’re staying in the capital, a Northern Lights boat tour from the harbor offers you the chance to see the lights from the water.

If you’re in Iceland for an extended period of time, why not try a multi-day tour that includes a hunt for the elusive Northern Lights? Check out the first-timer’s package, our 3-day South Coast tour, which includes the Golden Circle, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and a visit to an ice cave.

If you are seeking adventure in Iceland and your goal is to enjoy the Northern Lights show every day, check out our special tour tailored for the aurora explorer in you. Our 8-day Northern Lights tour with Golden Circle, Mývatn, hot springs, waterfalls, a glacier hike, and more, rewards explorers with unforgettable views of the Northern Lights.

WHY IS ICELAND THE PERFECT PLACE TO GO ON A NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR?

Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, Iceland is the perfect destination to see the auroras. As Iceland is not densely populated, there is little light pollution. Even so, our tours always venture out from the cities to the countryside for optimal viewing. As the northernmost capital in the world, Reykjavík is ideal as a base for international travelers hoping to glimpse the lights.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A TOUR?

The best time of the year to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is from September to April, due to lower light pollution and frequency. In December and January, the nights are the longest, with only around four to five hours of sunlight. So the chance of seeing the light show increases exponentially during this season.

Check our winter tours to ensure you don't miss any natural wonders!

Important factors for ideal aurora viewing include recent solar activity, cloud density, and darkness. It’s always best to check the aurora forecast a few hours beforehand to know where the auroras will appear, how intense they will be, and where there are fewer clouds. However, just like the weather forecast, this can be a bit inaccurate at times.

FAQs ABOUT OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS IN ICELAND

Will i definitely see the lights on the tour.

The Northern Lights are natural phenomena and we unfortunately cannot promise you will see them on our tours. Your chances of seeing them depend on a number of factors that are out of our control, including weather conditions and atmospheric factors.

WHAT ARE THE BEST CAMERA SETTINGS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING THE AURORA BOREALIS ON MY TOUR?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a simple answer to this question as it takes patience, effort, and often, trial and error to photograph the auroras . You should be prepared to experiment with various settings on your camera and, due to the cold weather, you may need to bring additional accessories such as extra batteries. A tripod may also be helpful.

WHAT IF MY NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR GOES AHEAD AND THE AURORA ISN’T SEEN?

A refund is not available if the Northern Lights tour goes ahead and none are seen, however, we do offer you the chance to join a Northern Lights minibus tour free of charge.

Please contact our Customer Care Team to re-book your tour.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IF MY TOUR IS CANCELED?

When Northern Lights tours are canceled it’s usually due to unfavorable weather conditions.

In that case, your options will be to:

• Reschedule for another day.
• Find another tour to embark on and use the deposit for it.
• Get fully refunded.

Please contact our Customer Care team to re-book your tour.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR IS ON FOR THE EVENING?

The Northern Lights are a pretty difficult thing to predict. You can check the Icelandic Meteorological Office website to see the forecast - if the level is high and the skies are clear then it’s very likely that the tour is going ahead. By 17:00 at the latest, we will update our website’s tour departure information, and if your tour is canceled for any reason, you’ll receive an email notifying you of the details. 

If we think there is no chance at all of seeing the lights, we will cancel the tour. We don’t want to bring you out and disappoint you if there will definitely be no aurora activity.

WILL MY GUIDE TAKE PICTURES FOR ME?

Yes, the guide will take a photo of you with the Northern Lights behind you. These can be single or group photos and are free of charge.

WHAT MONTHS CAN YOU SEE THE AURORA BOREALIS?

The Northern Lights season is said to be from late August until mid-April. However, if you want to increase your chances of seeing them, it is best to wait until the colder winter months, from mid-September until March.

CAN YOU SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN REYKJAVIK?

If luck and weather are on your side, then you will be able to see the Aurora Borealis above the inviting streets of Reykjavík. Whether you see the lights or not depends on two unique factors. The first is the weather: If the sky is clear, with no clouds, then you are halfway to seeing the astonishing spectacle that is the Northern Lights (although light pollution can sometimes be a problem).

Increased solar activity is the second factor, so if these two are both favorable at the same time you may well be able to see the Northern Lights from Reykjavík.

I AM TRYING TO BOOK A TOUR BUT MY CREDIT CARD PAYMENT FAILS. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

The first step is to make sure your credit card provider allows you to make payments in Canadian Dollars (CAD) or American Dollars (USD) if you have selected these currencies.

In some cases, your credit card company would need to pre-authorize the transaction for you before you can process the transaction online.

If you are still having problems booking through the Arctic Adventures website (www.adventures.is) then please contact our Customer Care Team .

WHAT TO WEAR WHEN HUNTING FOR THE AURORA?

Since it’ll be nighttime and winter when you chase the Northern Lights, it’s important to dress warmly! Be sure to dress in comfortable layers. Take an undershirt, a fleece sweater, and a jacket to go over everything. Don’t forget thermal underwear or leggings too!

HOW MUCH DOES THE NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR COST?

The cost will really depend on the tour. Our basic Northern Lights tour in a minivan starts from 9.990 ISK. Upgrade to a Super Jeep for just 18.990 ISK more! Combo tours and multi-day tours are also priced at the best value possible.
