Full description

Search for the Northern Lights in the comfort of a super jeep. Go where tour buses can't and learn all about this amazing natural phenomenon from an English-speaking guide in a small group setting. Discover firsthand why people from all over the world flock to Iceland in the winter in search of the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights are a memorable site and everyone who has seen them will tell you why – they are completely mesmerizing. Given cloudless skies and a little bit of luck, sightings can occur from autumn to early spring. The locals say that the colder it is, the more vibrant and intense the colors will be. Swirling and swaying overhead, the Northern Lights are usually greenish yellow but white, red, and pink lights also frequently appear.

Bit sceptical about carrying on with the trip after reading negative reviews but am so glad I carried on. What an amazing experience!! Our guide was both knowledgeable and experienced and really looked after the whole group, we were lucky to have him and he picked an amazing location which ensured we have some amazing memories of iceland.

Great

Weather conditions were bad and the guide was not a good communicator. She seemed to struggle with the language and a way of explaining the phenomenon over-scientifically. There were some language barriers. It was freezing cold. We went to one place and stayed there in the super-jeep which, in reality is a minibus with big wheels. We thought the tour would be more personal and we would try different places. The weather was against us and we were Always very unlikely to see the lights that night
