When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland?
The best time to see the Aurora Borealis is from September to March, when the nights are long and dark. These months offer the optimal conditions for aurora activity and visibility.
Are the Northern Lights guaranteed?
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings can never be guaranteed. However, we use real-time weather and solar activity data combined with local knowledge to give you the best possible chance of seeing them.
How often will we go aurora hunting?
We plan an aurora hunt every night you’re on tour (weather permitting). By being flexible and adapting to conditions, we significantly increase your chances of experiencing this unforgettable sight.
Are photos included?
Yes! We include professional photos of your Northern Lights experience, and we’re also happy to help set up your camera if you'd like to capture your own shots.
