What to expect

For many, seeing the Northern Lights is the main reason they travel to this northern island during Winter. They are mesmerizing, and a sight that will never be forgotten. It is simple, nothing says “Icelandic Winter” like the idea of hunting for the Aurora Borealis. Created by solar storms originating from the sun, the Northern Lights need clear winter skies to be seen.

Step on board one of the new buses, equipped with WiFi-connected computer tablets in each seat. On the tablets, you can watch, listen and read expertly written and recorded material about the Northern Lights and the stars in the Arctic skies. Available with a choice of 10 languages. In each seat, you will also find a USB Charger and your own star map.

The expert operational team has decades of experience analyzing weather patterns. They will review, each and every day, the cloud forecast and the Northern Lights forecast in detail. You will not venture out in search of them unless they think you have a good chance, meaning they have a high success ratio.

All the Northern Lights tours are guided by one of the specially trained northern lights guides, they are both knowledgeable and helpful and will even give you tips on how to take photos of the night sky and of the Aurora Borealis.

Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow.
