Although the northern lights are natural and therefore not guaranteed, your experienced guide will review the aurora forecast before your trip to ensure ideal conditions. Dark, clear skies are the two most important factors for successful aurora sightings.

The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, result from the interaction of solar particles with the atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole. Seeing them is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many travelers to Iceland and a winter experience you won't want to miss.

Dress as warmly as possible because the Icelandic winter night will be chilly! You won't be moving around a lot on a tour like this, so you'll rely on your clothing choices to stay comfortable and enjoy the experience to its fullest. 

You'll wait for the aurora borealis to appear at your guide's chosen viewing location. Enjoy the anticipation as you marvel at the serenity of the night and the light shining from the stars and moon.

When the northern lights appear, you'll be dazzled by their unique display. As they dance overhead, enjoy the moment and let yourself bask in the experience of this glorious natural phenomenon. 

See if you can capture shots of the mesmerizing colors and formations. Your guide can also offer advice on optimal camera settings so you can take home picture-perfect memories of your trip. The aurora often appears in shades of green but can range in several fantastic colors, such as pink, purple, red, and blue.

After enjoying the lights in all their glory, the bus driver will transport you back to Reykjavik. If you don't see the aurora borealis tonight, you can try again on another night for free.
