Pass by without stopping
Heidmork Nature Reserve
There is no fixed route and no sightseeing stops. Your guide follows cloud cover and aurora forecasts through the evening and drives wherever the chance of seeing the lights is highest, using the Defender's capability to leave busy roadside pull-offs behind where conditions allow. Hot chocolate and bottled water are served while you watch, and your guide helps with camera settings.
Pass by without stopping
Reykjavik
Your private super jeep drops you back directly at your Reykjavík accommodation. The tour lasts 4 hours, so the return is approximately 4 hours after departure. Door to door, start to finish.

Know before you go
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Specialized infant seats are available
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- You will receive a booking confirmation immediately after purchase.
- Exact pickup time is confirmed at least 24 hours before departure; departures run between 20:30 and 21:30 depending on the month.
- Door-to-door pickup from a single address at your Reykjavík accommodation is included.
- The tour operates in a Land Rover Defender super jeep for up to 5 guests. Groups of 6 are possible on request, but the fit is tight - for full comfort we recommend 5. The tour lasts 4 hours.
- Access to rough tracks and off-road viewpoints depends on weather and surface conditions; your guide decides what is safe on the night.
- The ride can be bumpy on rough sections - part of the fun, but worth knowing in advance.
- Aurora sightings cannot be guaranteed. Our team monitors cloud cover and aurora forecasts closely; if there is no realistic chance of a sighting, we cancel no later than 2 hours before departure.
- If we cancel, you choose: a retry at the nearest available date and time, or a full refund.
- If the tour runs and no lights are seen, you get a free retry at the nearest available date, subject to availability.
- A retry may run with a different vehicle and may be a small-group tour - this is normal, even after a super jeep booking.
- Even a faint but visible aurora counts as a sighting. To the naked eye the lights are often softer and paler than in photos online, which usually have raised saturation.
- The route is chosen by your guide on the night; guests do not set the route.
- Season: late August to mid-April.
- Easy walking on uneven natural terrain in the dark and a firm ride on rough tracks. Not recommended for guests with serious mobility limitations or back problems.
- The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
- Children of all ages are welcome - please note the late return time. Child seats available on request; state each child's age at booking.
- Parents or guardians are responsible for the safety of children throughout the tour.

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $1650 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 Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep 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 Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep Northern Lights Hunt?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik: Private Super Jeep 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, 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.
