Northern Lights Tour from Akureyri

1.Northern Lights Tour from Akureyri

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 112 reviews · 3 hours · from $116Our pick

Leave Akureyri by climate-controlled van and search the dark countryside for the aurora with guides such as Arman, Norbert, and Yule. Your guide shares Icelandic stories, helps with phone and camera settings, and may take photos for you. If clouds hide the lights, you can try again the next night at no extra cost when a tour runs.

“Friendly and informative guide who helped with photos, and shared lots of information and anecdotes about the Northern Lights and life in Iceland. The night was cold - it was minus twelve! - but Arman's knowledge and perseverance paid off and we got to see some lovely lights. Also, everything was on time, and the transportation was comfortable. Recommended!”

The 2 to 3-hour trip includes transport, hot chocolate, cookies, and a free retry the next evening if the aurora does not appear. The minibus holds up to 16 people.

“The guide rocked up in the largest 4x4 mini bus ever. The forecast was heavy cloud but our guide found a clear patch of sky and we saw some amazing Northern Lights. This tour is almost 100% guaranteed to find them. If they are there they will find them.”

3.Northern Lights Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 42 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $132

Leave Akureyri after dark with an English-speaking guide such as Lilja, Ingi, or Graham, then travel beyond city lights in search of the aurora. The 2.5-hour outing includes hotel pickup, photo help, hot chocolate, and a chance to stop at several locations when cloud or weather shifts.

“Our tour guide Ingi was fun & informative, he tried his best to make our night one to remember, despite not being lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. Ingi took us on a mini dark night adventure to a waterfall & took many wonderful photographs for us. He made sure it was a memorable evening. We highly recommend touring with Ingi & the team.”
