ENCUENTRA CIELOS OSCUROS

La oscuridad es esencial para ver las auroras boreales, lo que hace que el otoño, el invierno y la primavera sean las mejores estaciones para disfrutar de este espectáculo. En el verano de Islandia, con casi 24 horas de luz solar, es imposible ver las auroras. A continuación, hemos incluido un mapa que destaca las principales áreas de contaminación lumínica en Islandia: alejarte de estas zonas coloreadas te permitirá disfrutar de vistas más claras del cielo nocturno ártico. Además, hemos creado una guía detallada de los mejores lugares para que escapes de la contaminación lumínica y maximices tus posibilidades de presenciar este fenómeno impresionante.

ENCUENTRA UN LUGAR SEGURO

Perseguir las auroras boreales en Islandia implica viajar en la oscuridad, a menudo por carreteras heladas o nevadas, por lo que la seguridad es una prioridad. Evita detenerte en los arcenes, ya que pone en peligro tanto a ti como a otros conductores. En su lugar, utiliza áreas de aparcamiento designadas para una experiencia más segura. Para una aventura sin preocupaciones, únete a nuestros tours guiados por expertos: ellos se encargan de la planificación y la seguridad, para que puedas disfrutar plenamente de la magia de la aurora.

MONITORIZA LA ACTIVIDAD SOLAR

Monitorizar la actividad solar es esencial para predecir la aparición de las Auroras Boreales. El Índice Kp, representado en la escala de 9 puntos que aparece a continuación, mide la actividad geomagnética del planeta y proporciona una estimación de la intensidad promedio de la aurora durante un periodo de 3 horas. Un Kp de 0–2 indica baja actividad, 2–3 ofrece probabilidades moderadas y 4–6 señala exhibiciones intensas. Las lecturas de 7–9 son raras y pueden producir espectáculos espectaculares. Para obtener lecturas más precisas y actualizadas, consulta los datos en tiempo real proporcionados a continuación.

TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

Very happy with the entire process. Our person tour guide Vjeran was beyond excellent in his knowledge, patience, cheerfulness and his overall style of guiding. Frimman took us on the bus for Aurora viewing and we loved the way he taught us about the Northern Lights and we were very impressed with his ability to assess the energy, the source, the direction and the intensity based on his experience. And he showed us the most spectacular and dazzling aurora in the right spot at the right time.

Epic trip, loved every minute. Everything we saw was stunning- the waterfalls, the black sand beach, the glacier, walking behind a waterfall! The guide was incredibly knowledgable and gave us interesting insights along the way, he was also very charismatic and entertaining. The trip is exceptionally well planned from the heated van with WiFi, to the time at each destination ensuring enough time at each site to enjoy it while moving enough to see as much as possible. All round highly recommend. Tip for bookers- take waterproofs whatever the weather! Waterfalls are wet!

We did the tour on Feb 11 in 2025 and the whole experience was great - the cars were comfy and on time, our guides (Vikingur and the Canadian guy) were super friendly and knowledgeable. Time was never wasted - we saw the aurora already on the way and after stopping at a really great location - the guide setup the equipmemt and took many amazing photos of us when the next aurora events happened. Between the aurora events - the guides told us a lot of interesting facts about aurora and the stars and Iceland, they also setup the telescope for us, served delicious cookies and hot chocolate, and answered all our questions. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you!

My Wife and I had an incredible time on the tour! While we didn't get to see the Northern Lights as clearly as we had hoped, the experience was still fantastic. The tour guide was entertaining and provided a wealth of information. Even if you don’t see the lights—since it’s not guaranteed—you still get to enjoy the stars and learn about them. Overall, it was a memorable experience!

I very very highly recommend this company. Yesterday we went on the whale watching tour which was amazing, the guides were perfect and all staff on board were very friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to see multiple Humpback whales and we found the company very ethical as they kept their space from the whales and were respectful of them. Since we enjoyed this tour so much we decided to book to go on the Northern Lights tour with them later in the evening, this was also amazing, the guide again was amazing, and we managed to see the lights, they even stayed out later so everyone could enjoy the show.

Great crew very helpful, guide (Mike no flash) was very informative and funny, photographer was helpful, boat was well kept with great facilities, we didn’t see the northern lights on our first trip out so booked the next night and we’re rewarded with a great show (kpi 6) from Mother Nature even though it was cloudy I think it added to it. Highly recommend these guys will be booking for wen we return…

Our travel agent booked a Northern Lights cruise for us. On our first attempt the weather wasn’t cooperating so they gave us the option of a refund or to rebook for the next night. We chose to rebook since the main reason we came to Iceland was to see the Northern Lights. The next night was the same so we rebooked for our last night. It started clouding up about an hour before our cruise was set to sail. Initially it was overcast and left little to see. The captain kept manoeuvring the ship to find clear skies. While we waited for the light show the crew kept us entertained with facts about Iceland and star gazing. Finally it started and the sky’s provided us with the most spectacular show. This was definitely a highlight to our trip, well worth the wait and props to the tour operator for their persistence.

I recommend this tour. It was wonderful. We saw the Northern Lights, took photos, wore Viking outfits, and enjoyed delicious hot chocolate with cookies. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience on this tour. The driver was knowledgeable and helped us understand about northern lights. We were supposed to drive east of Reykjavik but then checking the apps we drove just outside the city where we could see spectacular Northern Lights. We also had photoshoot as Vikings and the hot chocolate at the end was an icing on an already amazing trip.

My experience on the Northern Lights tour with professional photos was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, and the team did everything possible to ensure we had the best chance to witness this natural wonder. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the Northern Lights. He explained the science behind the aurora, provided historical and cultural insights, and kept us informed throughout the journey.

Baldvin was the most amazing and knowledgeable guide. We got to see an incredible Northern Lights display away from all the other tourist busses thanks to him. He even made us home made hot chocolate and cakes to keep us warm and full of energy late into the night! His excitement to see the Northern Lights was really infectious and made the whole experience even better!

Not sure where to start really. Obviously it’s hit or miss with the aurora and nature is in control. Despite having the best views ever of the lights, our guide Baldvin was just the best host. We had hot chocolates, home made cakes, so much scientific info and excellent photos to help us remember our trip, he knew exactly where to be at what time and made sure everyone was comfortable and warm at all times. An unforgettable experience and I’d argue the best aurora tour company in Iceland.

We thoroughly enjoyed the aurora tour. Devin was our tour guide who is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of insightful information about aurora and the region with us. He brought us to three good spots to see aurora and took excellent photos for us. He stayed with us until we are satisfied with the aurora viewing. We also enjoyed the hot chocolate and Icelandic donuts provided by him.

Our Northern Lights tour was better than we could have even imagined! BG was an amazing guide- super knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer any and all questions. He made sure we all had the best photo settings and that we all got lots of the professional photos taken. The hot chocolate and cinnamon buns were delicious, and of course Mother Nature helped by giving us an absolutely incredible Aurora display. Would recommend 100% 😊

This trip brought us to areas with least light pollution around Reykjavik. Marta, our guide, was simply amazing. She was certain when the clouds would clear for a couple of hours for us to witness the most fascinating aurora lights that we've ever seen. The KPI was strong too, so that helped. Marta took beautiful photographs for many of us to bring home fond memories with. As the group was limited to less than 20 persons, there were ample opportunities for us to take our turns for the photographs, not to mention that the hot chocolate and cinnamon buns were delicious too. Highly recommended!

I used this company twice - 1st on the small group northern lights tour and then 2nd for the South Coast tour. Both trips were fantastic with knowledgeable and friendly guides. Everything ran smoothly. We saw the northern lights, which was even more special for me as it was my birthday. Thank you to Omar for the great tour and for singing happy birthday to me in Icelandic and English 😁 Also a thanks to Dooley for his great tour of the South Coast too. I will definitely come back for more tours of the beautiful Iceland!

My family recently had the good fortune to book and go on the Northern Lights Superjeep tour on the 16/02/25. The whole process was seamless from booking, through to notification on the day as to the likelihood of the tour progressing, the pickup, the actual tour and the drop off. As we waited for collection at one of the pickup points we saw an amazing Ford F350, heavily modified and I jokingly said to my two sons wouldn't it be great if this was our ride. When the vehicle pulled up and called out our names we were delighted. The driver was fantastic and explained everything, we met up with 4 other Superjeeps at the destination, the light show was amazing and the hot chocolate and Vodka shots were welcome as it was bitterly cold. What a brilliant experience and well worth the money - I would highly recommend Superjeep!!!

Our jeep drivers were amazing… they persisted in chasing until they found them! Even took some fantastic photos for us. The hot chocolate on an extremely cold night was much appreciated! Thank you for a fantastic night!

Interesting factual guide to the aurora. It’s a little way out down by the harbour, but well worth a visit - easily walkable from the town centre. The best part was the virtual reality headset !

My son saw this museum on a YouTube short, I believe, and wanted to put a pin on the map. We enjoyed the science explanations and the beautiful photography. We regretted not buying a 66 North arctic hat which was a little cheaper than the actual store. Also, the young lady at the reception was super helpful.

I bought tickets for a night excursion to see the Northern Lights on Jan 1st 2025 from Reykjavík Excursions. I specifically bought from this company because it included free entry to Aurora Reykjavik on the day of the excursion. The Aurora forecast wasn’t very good, so I didn’t expect to get a good display and thought, at least I’ll learn something at the center. This was a great decision, the display isn’t very expansive, but it is very well laid out, the staff are friendly and helpful and the display was both informative and very well presented. We spent about 90 minutes there and it felt just about right. As a side note, the forecast changed significantly during the evening and we were treated to a spectacular display and this was made even more enjoyable by the fact that we had more knowledge on the subject and realized the significance of the rarity of the red aurora that we witnessed. I’d certainly recommend Aurora Reykjavík especially as a prelude to an excursion!

Very informative exhibit about the Northern Lights and how they are formed. Great video show of the lights over many of Iceland's tourist destinations. The female attendant was absolutely top notch..she made us free coffee, explained and answered all our questions, and then even called and arranged taxis for the 8 of us!!

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Por qué el pronóstico de Auroras cambia continuamente?

Los pronósticos de auroras cambian porque el sol está lleno de sorpresas. La actividad solar, como las erupciones solares y los vientos solares, varía constantemente, afectando cómo y dónde aparecen las Auroras Boreales. Las condiciones meteorológicas en la Tierra, especialmente la cobertura de nubes, también juegan un papel importante. Por eso, consultar las actualizaciones en tiempo real te mantiene un paso adelante para vivir la mejor experiencia de auroras.

¿Hay otras fuentes de datos sobre auroras que debería seguir?

Yes! Keep an eye on the Leirvogur Magnetic Observatory, which tracks magnetic disturbances over Iceland. When the graphs show increased movement, it means solar winds are shaking Earth’s magnetic field – often leading to aurora outbursts. Monitoring this alongside the Kp Index and real-time forecasts can give you the best chance to catch the Northern Lights!

¿Qué precisión tiene el Índice Kp para ver las Auroras Boreales?

El Índice Kp es una herramienta fiable para medir la actividad geomagnética y predecir las Auroras Boreales, pero no es perfecto. Proporciona un pronóstico general promediado en periodos de 3 horas, por lo que las condiciones pueden cambiar rápidamente. Para obtener las predicciones más precisas, combina el Índice Kp con datos en tiempo real sobre la actividad solar, la cobertura de nubes y las perturbaciones magnéticas locales.

¿Cuáles son los mejores meses para ver las Auroras Boreales en Islandia?

Los mejores meses para ver las Auroras Boreales en Islandia son de septiembre a abril. Durante este periodo, las noches son más largas y oscuras, creando condiciones ideales para observar las auroras. Los meses pico son de octubre a marzo, cuando los cielos están más oscuros y la actividad solar suele ser más intensa. Solo recuerda consultar el pronóstico del tiempo para asegurarte de que el cielo esté despejado.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un número bajo de Kp y un número alto de Kp para ver las Auroras Boreales?

Un número bajo de Kp (0–2) significa que las Auroras Boreales probablemente serán tenues, apareciendo como un resplandor suave y pálido, a menudo parecido a nubes finas, y suelen ser visibles solo en las zonas más al norte. Un número alto de Kp (5–9) trae exhibiciones vibrantes y dinámicas con colores brillantes como verdes, moras e incluso rojos bailando por el cielo, a veces visibles mucho más al sur.

¿Puedo ver las Auroras Boreales en verano?

Ver las Auroras Boreales en Islandia durante el verano es extremadamente poco probable. De mayo a agosto, Islandia experimenta casi 24 horas de luz diurna debido al Sol de Medianoche, lo que hace que el cielo esté demasiado brillante para que la aurora sea visible. Para tener la mejor oportunidad de ver las Auroras Boreales, visita entre septiembre y abril, cuando las noches son oscuras y largas.

¿Cuáles son las mejores aplicaciones de pronóstico de Auroras Boreales para mejorar mi experiencia?

Para mejorar tu experiencia de las Auroras Boreales, varias aplicaciones ofrecen pronósticos en tiempo real y herramientas útiles para encontrar los mejores lugares de observación. Las principales recomendaciones incluyen:
