For your comfort: Dress according to weather. In Iceland it is always wise to dress in warm waterproof clothes. Weather changes can be sudden so be prepared for all weather conditions. Waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves, and warm socks/waterproof shoes are recommended, especially since we will be outside at night during the hunt for the northern lights.

Here is how it works:
Every day we closely monitor the forecast for the evening. Favorable conditions require, at least, light to moderate activity, cold weather, and a clear sky. When conditions are favorable, we announce the decision on the website to confirm the tour.
Even with the best of guides and a detailed forecast, sightings are never guaranteed.
* Please note that only the regular version of this tour offers free rebookings. It is not possible to rebook this tour at no charge.
*Please note that the access to restroom facilities out of urban areas is very limited while on the Northern lights tours.
We pick you up from hotels, guesthouses, or your closest bus stop if you are located in the downtown area of Reykjavik. See bus stops here.
