This package is designed to balance comfort, adventure and flexibility. Iceland’s winter can be unpredictable, but that’s where expert planning comes in. With guided tours, flexible night schedules, countryside stays and local insights, you never have to worry about missing a perfect aurora moment. The guides also specialize in photography tips, helping you capture the Northern Lights clearly and beautifully. Transportation is provided in winter-ready vehicles, ensuring safety even in challenging weather.
Beyond aurora hunting, your package includes daytime sightseeing across some of Iceland’s most famous natural wonders. This ensures that even on nights when skies are cloudy, your trip remains full of excitement and discovery. From frozen waterfalls and black-sand beaches to glacier lagoons and natural hot springs, every day offers something extraordinary.
The aurora is visible in Iceland between late September and early April. These months offer long dark nights and clearer winter skies. The absolute prime time is generally October to March, when the nights are longest and the solar activity is strong. Choosing dates in the middle of winter may provide even greater opportunities — but be prepared for cold temperatures and occasional snowstorms. However, this also means beautiful snowy landscapes, frozen waterfalls and a truly Arctic atmosphere.
Upon arriving at Keflavík Airport, you’ll be greeted and taken to your hotel. Spend the day resting or exploring Reykjavík. Depending on the weather, your guide may offer the first optional aurora hunt on the same night.
Start your day with the iconic Golden Circle tour: Þingvellir National Park, the erupting geysers at Geysir, and the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall. Return to your accommodation for dinner, then prepare for your first official Northern Lights chase.
Explore Iceland’s breathtaking South Coast. Visit Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and stroll along the black-sand beaches near Vík. The evening brings another guided Northern Lights hunt at a remote dark-sky location.
Depending on the season, enjoy a glacier hike or enter a natural ice cave — one of the most unique winter experiences in Iceland. This day is usually a highlight for adventure lovers. Another aurora hunt may follow at night if conditions look promising.
Relax in a geothermal spa such as the Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon or a natural hot spring area. Enjoy free time in Reykjavík for shopping or exploring local restaurants. In the evening, you may head out again if aurora activity is strong.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before your airport transfer. Depart Iceland with memories of glowing skies, frozen landscapes and extraordinary adventures.
This package is perfect for:
While you can attempt to see the aurora on your own, guided tours offer a far higher chance of success. Local experts monitor cloud cover, wind patterns, solar activity and weather forecasts throughout the day to choose the best viewing locations each night. They also know safe places to stop, away from icy roads or dangerous areas. This eliminates guesswork and makes your experience more enjoyable and secure. For many travelers, this guidance is the difference between seeing the aurora clearly and missing it entirely.
