ABOUT THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Northern Lights — or Aurora Borealis — are one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles, and Iceland is one of the best places on Earth to witness them. Created when charged particles from the Sun collide with gases in Earth’s atmosphere, the aurora dances across the night sky in ribbons of green, pink, purple, and sometimes red — a display that never gets old, no matter how many times you’ve seen it.
In Iceland, the Northern Lights season runs from late August through mid-April, when the long dark nights create perfect viewing conditions. The best chances come with clear skies, low light pollution, and strong geomagnetic activity — all factors you can monitor in real time on our Aurora Forecast page.
While the aurora can appear at any time after dark, displays are most common between 9 PM and 1 AM. Patience is key — and when the lights do appear, the wait is always worth it.
Want to go deeper? Our About the Northern Lights page is packed with expert guides covering everything from how to read a forecast, to the best photography tips, to the science behind the colours. Whether you’re a first-time aurora hunter or a seasoned sky-watcher, there’s plenty to explore.
FAQ ABOUT THE NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
When can I see northern lights in Iceland ?
During this long period, Iceland experiences sufficient darkness for the Aurora to be visible at night.
However, chances of experiencing the northern lights vary depending on the time of year. Find out which months are the best for seeing the Aurora here.
What time does the tour start?
What time do the northern lights show up?
During the winter months, when the hours of light are limited, the northern lights can often appear as early at 7:00pm.
As the exact time of an Aurora display cannot be predicted, keep your eyes at the sky. And remember, patience is key!
How long do the northern lights last?
Each northern lights display is different, and varies in duration. Furthermore, the northern lights are not always visible for the entire duration of a single Auroral episode: they often change in intensity throughout a single display, and can go from very bright to incredibly faint, to the point they are hardly visible at all any more.
Learn more about how the northern lights behave duration-wise here.
Where will I be picked up?
We offer pick-up from hotels, guesthouses, and bus stops in central Reykjavík. You can select your pick-up location during the booking process.
Can I see the northern lights when it is cloudy?
As long as we can find some gaps in the cloud cover, some windows of clear sky – there’s hope.
And, even when it’s cloudy, keep in mind that not all clouds are the same. For example, high clouds are often see-through and do not necessarily disrupt our view. Rule of thumb: if you can see the stars, you can potentially see the northern lights too.
Once again, keep your eyes at the sky and check the forecast regularly for the most reliable prediction.
What happens if there are no Northern Lights on my tour?
We offer a free retry on another night if the aurora does not appear. This is our Northern Lights guarantee. We recommend booking your tour on your first night in Reykjavík so you have the best chance of rescheduling if needed.
What time does the tour start?
Pick-up begins 30 minutes before departure. The exact pick-up time depends on the season and the forecast. You will receive all details after booking.
Are the northern lights really colourful?
How long does the tour last?
Most of our Northern Lights tours last approximately 3 to 4 hours.
