Description
Embark on an evening trip to see the Aurora Borealis while hearing detailed explanations from your guides. Leave the bright lights of Reykjavík city center and travel to areas with minimal artificial light for the best possible viewing conditions.
The tour follows meteorological predictions to maximize your chance of seeing the northern lights. You will stop at different locations throughout the evening to step outside and take photographs of the phenomenon.
The guides explain how the Aurora Borealis occurs due to collisions between gaseous particles in the earth’s atmosphere and charged particles from the sun’s atmosphere.
Because sightings depend on weather and solar activity, the tour offers a free spot on a Northern Lights Bus tour as a retry if you do not see the aurora during your scheduled trip.
