Private Northern Lights Hunt from Reykjavík

• Our guide will pick up you and your group from your accommodation or the nearest designated bus stop if the bus cannot access your hotel directly, and then head out of town in search of the Northern Lights.
• We will travel into the darkness, where air pollution and human-made light do not spoil the true effect and grandeur of these fantastic communication relays from the Gods. Hopefully, we will see them. Conditions must be suitable, as they are only visible under a clear night sky when clouds do not block the view. But the Aurora Borealis answers to no man. It is a chase. If the lights appear, they appear, and they do not care what humans think about them.
• Along the way, you will enjoy a cup of hot chocolate just like grandma used to make, as well as delicious pastries from Brauð & Co on-site. And hopefully, you will receive a message from one of the Gods.
