About this experience
The Aurora Borealis is a must-see in Iceland, and our Northern Lights Sprinter tour is designed to make this experience both accessible and memorable. We start with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavík. Our modern Sprinter buses ensure a comfortable ride as we leave the city lights behind and head toward dark, open areas with the best viewing conditions.
On the journey, our experienced guides will share fascinating insights into the Northern Lights — from the science behind this natural wonder to Icelandic legends and stories.
When we reach our viewing spot, you’ll step into the crisp night air. To keep you cozy, we provide hot chocolate, traditional Icelandic pastries, and hand warmers. These little comforts let you focus on the magical sky above.
With smaller groups, you’ll enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere and personal interaction with the guides. You’ll also have more opportunities for photos, and our guides are happy to help capture the Northern Lights with you in the frame.
If weather conditions aren’t right, we offer flexible rescheduling to increase your chances of witnessing this spectacular natural phenomenon.
After the tour, we’ll bring you back to your accommodation in Reykjavík, leaving you with lasting memories of one of Iceland’s most breathtaking experiences.
