Unlike large group tours, a private jeep tour offers a premium level of convenience and customization. Super jeeps are specially equipped 4x4 vehicles designed to handle Iceland’s icy, rugged terrain. With no rigid schedules or crowded stops, your guide can take you to exclusive viewing locations based on live aurora forecasts and cloud coverage.
You can request photo stops, longer waits, remote detours, or even silence under the stars—your experience unfolds exactly the way you want it. This flexibility maximizes your chances of seeing the lights and ensures your evening is both comfortable and memorable.
Your private guide monitors real-time aurora activity maps, cloud coverage, weather changes, and magnetometer readings to find the best possible viewing spot for your specific night. No two aurora hunts are ever the same, making your journey fully personalized.
A super jeep offers high ground clearance, powerful engines, heated interiors, and comfortable seating for small groups. These vehicles can access remote roads, snowy landscapes, and rugged trails that regular vehicles cannot reach, bringing you closer to ideal aurora viewing conditions.
Your guide may take you to areas such as Thingvellir National Park , Hvalfjörður fjord routes, Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields, or South Iceland open plains, depending on weather. These low-light natural settings enhance aurora visibility and photography quality.
Since the experience is private, departure times can be adjusted based on the weather and aurora forecast. If the skies are clear earlier or later, your guide will adapt to maximize your chances of catching the lights.
Most guides offer photo support and can help you set up your camera for long-exposure captures. Some tours also include professional aurora photography taken by the guide, giving you incredible memories to take home.
Blankets, hot chocolate, warm seating, and refreshments are commonly provided to help you stay cozy while waiting under the Arctic sky.
Private tours often allow extra custom experiences such as glacier visits, geothermal stops, or stargazing detours. You can combine the aurora hunt with sightseeing or romantic enhancements.
Your Northern Lights experience is designed for maximum comfort and personalization. Inclusions typically consist of:
Optional upgrades include:
The Northern Lights season in Iceland runs from late August to mid-April. The darkest months—September through March—offer the best visibility. During winter, the long nights, cold air, and widespread rural areas around Reykjavík create ideal viewing conditions.
The best aurora visibility happens when the sky is clear, solar activity is strong, and light pollution is low. A private jeep allows you to move between locations quickly if the weather changes, which increases your viewing success.
This package is designed for visitors seeking a more exclusive and intimate aurora experience. It is especially suitable for:
Your guide will pick you up in a deluxe jeep and take you out of Reykjavík toward areas with the clearest skies. You may travel through snow-covered plains, mountain passes, quiet villages, or rugged lava fields depending on conditions. Once the ideal spot is found, the jeep will park and you’ll step outside to witness the Arctic sky unfold.
As you wait, your guide will keep you warm with hot drinks and share information about aurora science, Icelandic folklore, and local stories. When the Northern Lights appear, you can enjoy the show at your own pace—whether you want to photograph it, sit quietly, or simply absorb the magic.
The tour typically lasts 3–5 hours, depending on aurora activity and weather conditions.
Many providers offer a free re-run on another night if no lights appear, increasing your chances of seeing them.
