NORTHERN LIGHTS EXPLORER

On this Northern Lights Hunt tour, you’ll be able to witness the wonderful northern lights in action!

Two for one Aurora experience

The tour includes entry to the amazing Aurora Reykjavik Museum: you can pick up tips on how to set up your cameras and enjoy videos on the science of Northern Lights, learn all about the cultural beliefs of many nations and what they believe the Northern Lights were or meant to them.

The northern lights hunt

You will then be picked up from the museum in a custom-built 4×4 super jeep (max 18 passengers). On the search for the Northern Lights you will travel through some of Iceland’s most spectacular natural sights by night time with a very informative guide.
The best part: the super jeep gives us flexibility to go off the beaten path, where big tour buses can not reach giving us a better chance to enjoy the Northern Lights without the discomfort of big crowds.

Venture into the night with us for front row seats on a chase to see the spectacular, unique and ever changing show that are the Northern Lights.

In the cold night, there is nothing like some hot chocolate to keep warm and the brave ones can even add some Icelandic Brennivín to theirs!

Our guides take photos every time the Northern lights are spotted so you can be sure to get your picture taken with the Aurora.

Please note: As the success of the Super Jeep Northern Lights tour is heavily dependent on weather conditions, we reserve the right to cancel departures up until 18:15 on the day of the tour.
If the Northern Lights jeep tour goes ahead and no northern lights are seen we offer clients the chance to join a minibus version on another evening’s departure free of charge upon availability. Note that you need to contact us to re-book.

Please note

Although fun and very rewarding, hunting for Northern Lights can be cold.
The night sky in Iceland will provide for great displays of the aurora, but are equally as cold so please ensure you wrap up in warm clothing.

It is good to remember that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and sometimes just don’t show. So be prepared for dark skies and when those lights show you will be even more impressed!
