Description
The Icelandic night holds more than the Northern Lights. This small-group jeep tour follows cloud and aurora forecasts beyond Reykjavík, then uses a powerful telescope to reveal more of the night sky when conditions are clear.
A knowledgeable guide reads conditions in real time, deciding whether to wait at a promising viewpoint or continue toward a clearer horizon. The group is limited to ten guests, keeping questions, camera help and telescope viewing personal.
Professional photographs are included when conditions permit, along with hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries. Required pickup is included from the Reykjavík accommodation or central location selected during booking.
