The Amazing Northern Lights Even local Icelanders stand in awe and gaze at the Northern Lights when they appear in the winter sky in Iceland. This natural phenomenon is one of the most spectacular things to see. On the dark winter nights the lights are often seen dancing across the Icelandic sky. Sometimes the lights are visible in Reykjavik, but most often it is best to drive out away from the city to areas where there is little light pollution. Our professional guides know how to read the weather and can find the best hidden areas to see the lights. Because we use a Super Jeep, we can go places the other big bus tours cannot, and the journey in one of our jeeps can be an experience in itself. The tour is of course completely dependent on weather both on earth and on the sun, and sightings are not guaranteed.

    5 stars private northern lights tour

    We did the private tour to see the northern lights and it was fantastic. Gunner was a phenomenal guide. He was very nice and help us take great photos. Highly recommend him and this private tour. Tumba up!!!

    Outstanding

    This was my 2nd northern light tour within this trip. Our tour guide, Kalman, shared his extensive knowledge of the science of the Northern Lights; the other tour did not offer such knowledge. In addition, he was very polite and courteous. I was traveling alone and he offered to take some pictures of me with the Northern Light as the background. This was a very kind gesture and I will always treasure those pictures. I highly recommend this company.

    Chasing the aurora.

    Pete was an awesome guide and really cool dude! The hot chocolate was a hit as well! Seeing the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for a very long time and if you’re going to hunt them down, this is the way to roll.

    Fun and funny

    Einar was amazing! He was friendly and responsive to my eight year-old son. A great sense of humor and a good storyteller.

    Very poor communication

    We were informed on the day of our tour that it was cancelled due to bad weather and to get in touch for a refund or to rebook. Whilst we don't have an issue with the tour being cancelled as it is completely dependent on weather, the communication we received (or didn't in this case) was very poor. We sent multiple emails asking for a rebooking and tried calling several times but received no answer. As we had limited time in Iceland, we were worried we wouldn't get a response and wouldn't be booked on to a new tour. Eventually we booked a different northern lights tour with a different company and just chased up a refund from Glaciers and Waterfalls. The new tour company we went with, we didn't see any northern lights tour the first night but they were super quick on booking us on for the following night. I'm sure the Glaciers and Waterfalls tour is great but the communication around cancelling and re-booking was extremely poor.

    Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $196 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Alcoholic beverages; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 22 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Northern Lights 4x4 Super Vehicle Hot Cocoa and Photos if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
