Northern Lights Bus Tour from Reykjavík with Photos & Hot Chocolate

About the Activity

What to Expect

Get enchanted by the beautiful northern lights with our bus tour from Reykjavík. This Northern Lights tour offers a thrilling chase as you leave the city behind. Your journey begins with a pick-up in Reykjavik, where a knowledgeable guide sets the stage for the adventure. As we travel through the Icelandic night, the starry skies above create a stunning backdrop. Our destination is determined by the best aurora forecasts, ensuring you have the highest chance to witness the spectacular aurora borealis. Traveling by minibus allows us to reach more secluded spots, offering an intimate experience away from city lights.

Our potential stops include Hvalfjörður, known for its dramatic fjord landscapes, or the historic site of Þingvellir, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Each location provides its own unique charm, from the tranquility of Reykjanes to the untouched beauty of rural South Iceland. No matter where the path leads, the goal remains the same: to find the perfect spot to view the northern lights in all their glory.

Onboard, comfort is key. Our minibus is designed for a smooth ride with spacious seating, and you'll be treated to complimentary hot chocolate and Icelandic chocolate treats to keep warm while you gaze at the sky. This tour is perfect for adventurers and nature enthusiasts, offering a unique opportunity to experience one of nature's most beautiful phenomena.
