Description

This private evening is designed for travellers who want the excitement of an aurora hunt without giving up space, comfort or flexibility. A capable 4x4 opens the route beyond Reykjavík while your driver-guide reads cloud movement and chooses the strongest viewing area available.

The pace belongs to your group. Pause longer when the sky is active, move on when a clearer horizon appears and enjoy a quieter experience away from large coach groups. Even the drive becomes part of the occasion as winter landscapes fade into darkness.
