Northern light tours only occur if conditions are favorable. If the forecast is not good for aurora hunting, the tour operators may cancel it. If this is the case, you will get a notification by email, so make sure to check your inbox on the day.

If your northern lights excursion has been cancelled by the tour operator, you can reschedule it for the next available date. Please contact the tour company in order to reschedule. You’ll find their contact information on your voucher.

If you haven´t been able to attend a northern lights tour at all during your stay because of cancellation by the tour operator, you may be entitled for a refund. Please contact your tour provider for more information.

After being picked-up near your hotel (check your voucher for details), you will be driven to the countryside, away from the bright city lights of Reykjavík. Whether you choose to go on a super-jeep, mini-bus or bus tour, your guide will make sure to take you to the best location for northern lights hunting, according to the latest forecasts. During those stops you’ll have the opportunity to get out of the bus and take your time to observe and photograph the northern lights.

Once the tour is over, you’ll be driven back to your drop-off location. Duration of the tour is determined by the type of excursion you’ve booked, from 2-3 hours, to 5 hours.

You can go on our tour booking page in order to browse our different options through filters. Once you’ve clicked on the desired tour, you’ll access a detailed description of the tour and a calendar. Select the date, time, number of people, and extras (if needed), then click on “book”. The next page will ask for your personal details, pick-up location (if needed) and payment information. After agreeing to our terms and conditions, your booking will be confirmed.

An electronic voucher will be sent automatically to your email. Please read it carefully as you’ll find all the details regarding pick-up time and location there, as well as the contact information of the tour company operating the tour. Please contact them directly if you have questions regarding your tour or would like to make changes to your booking. We are also in the office everyday from 9:00am-9:00pm to help, so don´t hesitate to give us a call or drop us an e-mail, if you have any questions.

Aurora Reykjavík is a multimedia exhibition about the northern lights. Here you can learn everything about this natural phenomenon, how to catch it, and how to photograph it. This is the perfect preparation for your northern lights hunt. We do not take excursions out ourselves at this time, but we collaborate with many trustworthy tour operators and offer a good selection of tours on our website and at our booking desk.
