Description
This comfortable coach tour begins in central Reykjavík and follows the evening forecast into Iceland’s darker winter landscapes. Wide windows and onboard Wi-Fi make the outward journey easy, while the changing road gives a sense of leaving everyday city life behind.
The guide explains how solar activity and the atmosphere create the Aurora Borealis, adding stories and context while searching for a promising opening in the cloud. The destination may be a broad lava field, mountain road or quiet coastal viewpoint.
A serving of hot chocolate adds warmth to the evening and the spacious vehicle suits travellers who prefer a classic coach format. Bring a camera and step outside when the guide finds the night’s strongest available sky.
