The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis , are a natural phenomenon caused by solar particles colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating dazzling displays of green, purple, and red lights across Arctic skies. Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see this spectacle, and guided tours from Reykjavik take you far from light pollution to maximize visibility. With professional guides, cozy transport, and flexible rebooking options, Northern Lights tours offer the best chance of fulfilling your aurora dream. Adding this experience to your Blue Lagoon visit ensures a complete Icelandic adventure.
Located just 45 minutes from Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon is Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa. Set in a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula, its turquoise waters are rich in silica, algae, and minerals renowned for their healing properties. Visitors can float in warm, milky-blue pools, apply natural silica masks, and enjoy saunas, steam caves, and in-water bars. Whether you choose the standard package or upgrade to the exclusive Retreat Spa, the Blue Lagoon is a must-do experience for relaxation and wellness. Combining this with a Northern Lights hunt offers the ultimate Icelandic escape.
