Top tour team for northern lights tour!
So happy we booked a northern lights tour through them. Super responsive and helpful which is always appreciated. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious. Our guide, Tamas is kind, knowledgeable and found us a great spot to view the lights. We had a great evening thanks to superjeep and Tamas!

Terrific Northern Lights Tour
We did a Private Northern Lights Superjeep Tour with Tamas as our driver/guide and it was a terrific experience. The aurora forecast for the night that we went out was moderate and there were some clouds in the area so it was a challenge to be able to see the Northern Lights. Tamas though did a terrific job, expertly bringing us to a few locations until we could find them. He was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Northern Lights and Golden Circle Adventures
We took two separate trips with Super Jeep and were glad we did. The first one, on Friday 21st November, to see the Northern Lights looked like we'd had a wasted journey. We stood outside on a chilly night and got to see the Milky Way and shooting stars, but a a pesky cloud was barring the way where we needed the sky to be clear. Being in a small group in a sturdy vehicle our driver was able to take us across rough terrain. He eventually decided we should move from our spot by the sea, further inland and we found ourselves in a lava field. I confess by 11 pm I was ready to give up (and most of the coaches did), but Christian (sorry if I got his name wrong) is more patient than me and we hung around until midnight when the Northern Lights decided to reveal themselves and gave us a great 30 minute performance. It's important to realise it doesn't look like the videos and photos you see online. They appear a greyish colour but you can clearly see the bands, swirls and droplets as they move across the sky. My camera doesn't have a night mode, so I was extra glad that Christian had set up his super dooper camera and took as many photos of all of us as we wanted. We got back, tired and happy at 2am. Next morning, we were up bright and early, for The Golden Circle tour with Erik, who is a master at off road driving. He took us to waterfalls, geysers, National Park, avoided the trolls, and took us up a glacier in the jeep while the rest of the party went snowmobiling. We even had time for an ice cream. This was a memorable day and I highly recommend Super Jeep for both these tours.

The Best Part Of Our Trip
Krissy was a brilliant guide on our Northern Lights Tour. We had a big coach tour included in our package tour. But, we wanted to get away from everything to hopefully enjoy the lights with a degree of solitude. So, we booked a Superjeep tour instead. Krissy took us to the middle of nowhere and really went the extra mile to make our trip special. And it was. We saw the lights developing, enjoyed hot chocolate and vodka and later received brilliant pictures of ourselves in front of the Northern Lights from Krissy. My own cheap phone camera picked up nothing. Thank goodness for Krissy and his excellent camera. Meeting people the next day, who went in the big coach tour, we were told they saw nothing. We were so grateful that we booked our own tour with Krissy. It made our holiday 😍

Sooo lucky - Second Superjeep NL trip, second success!
Last done with Superjeep 9 years ago and now repeated with equal success. Incredible adventure with Justin, our driver going out of his way to ensure our enjoyment. One minute the sky was clear and the next...........

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $1,400 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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 25 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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+
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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+
Around 9 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt 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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Free photos from the tour; Driver/guide; National park fees; and Local taxes. Not included: Pick up outside of Reykjavik area; Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+

What languages is Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt 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 Private Guided Superjeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+
