The best time for an Iceland Aurora Borealis tour is between **late September and early April**, when nights are long and dark enough to allow the auroras to be visible. Peak viewing months are generally from **October to March**, when conditions tend to be most favorable.

Your Iceland Aurora Borealis tour package usually begins with your arrival in Reykjavik. You can spend the day exploring the city’s landmarks like Hallgrimskirkja, Harpa Concert Hall, or the waterfront before embarking on your first aurora hunt in the evening.
During the daytime, explore Golden Circle attractions such as Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and the erupting Strokkur geyser. In the evening, join a guided Northern Lights tour, heading to remote locations for optimal viewing conditions.
Visit the South Coast to see waterfalls and glacier views. As night falls, guides take you to secluded areas with minimal light pollution to increase your chances of witnessing the aurora borealis. Some nights include warm beverages and photography help.
Enjoy optional winter activities such as snowmobiling, ice cave exploration, or geothermal hot springs. Evening brings one last aurora hunt, giving you another opportunity to see the lights before your trip concludes.
