We venture far from the capital´s light pollution is search of clear skies. We have studied the aurora forecast of the Icelandic Met Office in advance and know generally the areas with a higher probability of aurora activity. Sometimes we need to try a few location before we find the right spot. Your guide will share fun and educational stories about Iceland and the northern lights. Once we see the flickering green shimmer of the aurora, our guide will assist you with your camera settings, as well as photograph you with this stunning background. Later, we will share a link where you can download high-quality photos of you with the northern lights.

Fantastic, would highly recommend.

Jonas was an exceptional tour guide, taking us to many locations in search of the northern lights, with many opportunities to stop, take in the amzing scenery and take photos. It was a brilliant experience and would go again.

Amazing Northern Lights Trip

Amazing experience and got to witness the Northern Lights! Our guide Michael kept us entertained throughout the trip and provided great information about the Aurora. The trip was short but only due to such a high activity of the lights themselves and towards the end they started to fade. I opted for the small group tour to be able to go "off road" as such which larger coaches could not go and it really didn't disappoint.

Great experience, great driver/photographer

A wonderful experience on this tour. Our driver/photographer Michael was OUTSTANDING. We were very lucky with the nights which I now understand is out of anyone’s control, but Michael’s location knowledge, narration and camera advice was professional and made the tour, 5 stars from my wife and I.
