Description
Chase the Northern Lights with a delicious touch of Icelandic warmth on Northern Lights Tour with Photos, Pastries & Cocoa. The evening follows clear-sky forecasts out of Reykjavík and into the stillness of the countryside.
Dark skies, flexible routing and a comforting drink or local treat make the aurora hunt feel welcoming as well as spectacular. Clear organisation and thoughtful pacing keep the experience smooth, enjoyable and easy to book.
The evening follows clear-sky forecasts out of Reykjavík and into the stillness of the countryside. A smaller vehicle keeps the group more personal and gives the guide freedom to change direction as cloud bands move across the night.
Once a promising location is found, the experience slows down. Hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries turn the wait into a cosy winter gathering, while the guide shares aurora stories and watches for the first pale movement above the horizon.
Photographs are included when conditions allow, leaving you free to enjoy the display without spending the whole evening behind a screen. Current no-sighting terms include another opportunity to join.
