Had a brilliant holiday, saw so much, but the trip title is a misnomer. Not sure what the odds are of seeing the northern lights in 4 nights, but unlikely to be more than 50:50

One of Our Top Recommended Trips for 2026… Here’s Why
Our stage in the Solar Cycle, a natural 11-year fluctuation in the sun’s magnetic activity, means that 2026 promises to be the best aurora-viewing year in a decade with more intense and more frequent displays. If you’ve ever dreamt of seeing the Northern Lights, now’s the time to book that trip! − Garance Chuzel, destination expert.

day 1Adventure starts in Reyjkavik

The adventure begins at our hotel in Reykjavik. The compact capital of Iceland is well worth exploring, and we strongly recommend a couple of extra days before or after your tour. Our welcome briefing takes place tomorrow morning, when we meet our tour leader for the first time.
If you’re itching to see the Northern Lights, you may wish to visit the waterfront, which is away from the main city lights and, therefore, offers better conditions should the aurora display tonight.
