About the Tour

Central Reykjavik

Your night of northern lights hunting begins with our fast and efficient pickup service. We pick up from designated hotels and tour bus stops throughout central Reykjavík as well as from our meeting point, according to your choice. When all passengers have been collected we leave the city light pollution behind and head out into the darkness of the Icelandic countryside.

Northern lights hunting

Unlike other tours, we have no set itinerary or route that we follow. We generally travel no more than 90 minutes drive from Reykjavík and our guides seek out cloudless skies. Earlier in the day, they will have studied the aurora and cloud forecasts for the evening and based on this information they will have a good idea of the best areas to view the lights.

Whilst en route, your knowledgeable guide will share stories and information about the northern lights and Iceland. When we come to the location we have determined is a likely spot, you will get an opportunity to stretch your legs while you wait for the lights to appear. Your guide can also offer advice on the best camera settings to use when trying to capture the aurora.

Hot chocolate and light refreshments

Patience is a virtue when it comes to the northern lights and you might have to wait in the cold for a while. This will be made with the free hot chocolate and light refreshments that your guide will distribute.
We hope that the lights will appear at the first location, but we may venture elsewhere if nature is not cooperating. Our team at BusTravel Iceland pledges to do everything we can to make your aurora dreams come true.

In case of no lights

Even with cloud and aurora forecasts and knowledgeable guides, the northern lights are sometimes too elusive for our liking. They are a natural phenomenon and therefore not always reliable even when we do our utmost.
If you are unlucky and don’t see the lights during your tour, we’ve got you covered. You can take our tour again for another night for free! Your guide will let you know how to rebook. The offer for rebooking is valid for three years from the date of your tour departure. Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds for unsuccessful tours.

Central Reykjavik

At the end of the night, we will drop you back in Reykjavík to the same location from which you were collected.

How Does Pick-Up Work?

We offer pick-up only from Reykjavik city’s greater area from designated locations found on a drop-down menu at the time of booking. We ask all our customers to send their pick-up location at least 24 hours prior to the departure of their tour.

We are not responsible if you do not provide your pick-up location or miss the departure of your tour. Pick-up starts at the scheduled departure time of your voucher and can take up to 30 minutes. We ask our passengers to be ready at their listed location so they can be easily found.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations for all-day excursions can be made by email up to 24 hours before departure, and the entire money will be returned. Any cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled departure time are not subject to refund.
If the operator cancels the trip due to severe weather, hazardous driving conditions, or other reasons, we will help you rebook a different day or book alternate activities if feasible, or we’ll give you a full refund.
