15 Best Northern Lights Tours In Reykjavik

Reykjavik’s best days out.

Chasing the northern lights is the one Iceland experience nobody can put on a fixed schedule. From roughly September to April the aurora drifts over the island whenever the sky goes dark and clear, and a good tour really just gets you away from the city glow to wherever the forecast looks best that night. Some run by big coach, some by small minibus for a quieter group, and some head out by boat into the bay where nothing blocks the horizon. The better operators hand you a free second night if the lights stay hidden. These are the most popular northern lights tours from Reykjavik, with what each one includes, what it costs and who runs it.
