What you'll see and do
Kaldidalur Valley
The feeling of staring skywards at the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, can not be caught on film, brought indoors, nor adequately described. Poets have tried, photographers and filmmakers have tried, but only being there gives you that feeling. As it happens, Iceland is right under the Northern Lights belt, and therefore a perfect place on Earth for Aurora viewing. Also, the unstable weather conditions in Iceland increase the chances of those not having unlimited time to catch them. Clear skies are not needed, all you need is a hole in the clouds, at the right time. This is a hunt, not a conventional tour, meaning we're not going some specific places. Where we go is entirely dependent on the research and expertise of your super jeep guide and the Mountain Taxi team. If we deem conditions unfavourable; we don't go. Our super jeeps are essential for maximising your chances of good Aurora sightings. First and foremost, the darker your surroundings, the better you see Northern Lights. Looking for Northern Lights in a city can be likened to watching a film in a cinema with all the lights on. Our Superjeeps can take you as deep into the darkness as possible within our timeframe, away from the city, and away from buses and road traffic and other light pollution. Off road, on snow, as necessary. If they fail to appear, you will still have had a great trip. If you really want to hunt down those elusive Auroras, Mountain Taxi is your best ally.

Simply the Best
Myself and my best friend spent several days with Kristjan and his team on a variety of trips. We had an amazing time, great hosts, professional, reliable, knowledgeable and fun. Would absolutely recommend them and we will return for a summer adventure...

Fantastic northern light tour
On a day when every other tour company cancelled their northern lights tours, due to poor forecast, we decided to try anyway with Mountain Taxi. They use latest official weather and aurora borealis forecast and keep their tour operations more current than other operators it seems. We enjoyed a great ride with a fantastic guide and were rewarded by surprisingly high northern lights activity and clear skies. Highly recommend this tour if you really want to see some northern lights.

Once in a lifetime experience
After having our Northern Lights tour cancelled by another tour operator and not being able to reschedule with them, Mountain Taxi came to the rescue. We wanted an intimate tour, not one of the cattle heard bus types. Mountain Taxi were very accommodating and provided the intimate service we were after. Their super Jeeps are amazing and so much fun. Our host was very friendly to sharing local knowledge as we chased the Northern Lights. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights and they did not disappoint. The owner of the company was also there and he captures it on his SLR and emailed the shots to me at my request the next day. Great experience, great tour operator.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1714 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 tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour 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 Private tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour?
+
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 tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour 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 Private tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Private tour / Aurora Hunt - Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
