The "Iceland Northern Lights" trip starts from and ends in Reykjavik. It is a northern lights trip that takes 5 days taking you through Reynisfjara, Seljalandsfoss, Thingvellir National Park and 7 other destinations in Iceland. "Iceland Northern Lights" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

The Northern Lights can be dramatic, eruptive, fleeting and enigmatic. Never guaranteed, sightings rely on minimal light pollution, solar activity and clear skies. The key to any Aurora trip is enjoying the whole experience, regardless of what happens in the night sky. This is where this Iceland Northern Lights tour comes into its own. Roaring waterfalls, icebergs littered on black volcanic sand and mighty volcanoes dotting the horizon. With a local guide keen to show you their Iceland – and alert to the likelihood of a light show – you will be well placed, both literally and metaphorically, to see all that Iceland offers.
