Day 01

Northern Lights Hunt from Reykjavík

• Our guide will pick you and your group up at your accommodation or the closest designated bus stop, and we will head out of town in search of these lights.
• We will head into the darkness, as air pollution spoils the true effect and grandeur of these amazing communication relays from the Gods. Hopefully, we will see them. The conditions must be right, as we cannot see them unless the night sky is clear and only a few clouds block the view. But the Aurora Borealis answers to no man. It's a chase. If the lights appear, they do, but they do not care what humans think about them.
• You will also get a cup of hot chocolate just like grandma used to make, along with delicious pastries from Brauð & Co on-site. Hopefully, you will get a message from one of the gods.
