OVERVIEW

General information

The private northern lights trip in Iceland offers an intimate and customizable adventure, providing a unique opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis in the comfort and privacy of a small group or a solo tour.

Iceland is a magical destination that offers a wide range of natural wonders. One of the most spectacular sights that the country has to offer is the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis. These mesmerizing lights can be seen dancing in the night sky, painting the darkness with vibrant hues of green, purple, and pink. If you’re planning a trip to Iceland and want to experience the Northern Lights in a private and intimate setting, a private tour is the perfect option.

Our private Northern Lights tour in Iceland includes transportation to and from a viewing location, as well as a knowledgeable guide who can provide you with information about the lights and help you take photos. The tour will take you to some of the best spots in Iceland close to Reykjavik to witness the aurora borealis, such as Thingvellir National Park, Reykjanes peninsula or Hvalfjörður.

These locations offer stunning natural landscapes and minimal light pollution, providing the perfect backdrop for viewing the Northern Lights.

One of the benefits of a private tour is that you can tailor the experience to your preferences. For example, if you’re interested in photography, your guide can help you set up your camera and give you tips on how to capture the best shots of the Northern Lights.

It’s worth noting that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, your guide will have a good idea of the best viewing locations and times, and will do their best to ensure that you have the best chance of seeing the aurora borealis.

In conclusion, a private Northern Lights tour in Iceland is a great way to experience one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world. With a knowledgeable guide, personalized itinerary, and the option to include additional activities, you can create a truly unforgettable experience.
