Northern Lights Experience in a small group
We pick you up and whisk you away from the city lights to where we predict the
best sightings according to weather forecast. We always aim to get off the
beaten path and away from the crowds to enjoy the Northern Lights in serenity.
Your Chances of Seeing the Northern Lights
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and displays can never be
guaranteed. For a sighting we need three things to come together: solar storm,
darkness and a clear sky. Overall, on any given night during dark hours in
Iceland, your chances are about 50/50. We maximise this chance by going out
when auroral activity and cloud cover forecasts are favourable. Our sighting
rate is 90%.
