Description

Gaze up at the stunning Northern Lights as you journey outside of the capital city, Reykjavik, to some of Iceland’s darkest, and most beautiful corners. This tour is for anyone and everyone who has heard of this famous cosmic phenomenon and dreams of ticking it off the bucket list!

You’ll be picked up at a selected pickup location to be taken out of Reykjavik on a journey to see the bright dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis. Visitors to Iceland come from far and wide during the winter months in the hope of seeing these sparkling bands of colour decorating the night sky.

Throughout history, ancient people looking up at these strange, glimmering colours have searched for an explanation - messages from beyond? The spirits of the dead? Though we know now that the Northern Lights are caused by collisions between gaseous particles in the earth’s atmosphere, it is hard not to think of the supernatural when you bask in their magical illuminations.

It is best to see the aurora display on a night with good atmospheric activity and clear skies. Your guides will endeavour to find the best location that meets these conditions, giving you the best possible chance to see the Northern Lights during your trip.

Booking this Northern Lights tour also gives you a free ticket to visit the Aurora Museum in Reykjavik, Grandagarður 2, 101 Reykjavík. The free entrance is only valid on the day you join the tour, from the time we announce whether the tour is ON (by email and on our website). The entrance fees to the Aurora Reykjavik exhibition are complementary meaning that if you do not wish to go to the museum, there is no partial refund.

There is no set location for this tour due to the unpredictability of the lights; you’ll go where the forecast takes you! As this tour is weather-dependent and sightings are not guaranteed, you are welcome to join the Northern Lights tour on another night, free of charge, if you have no luck on your first try.

Don’t miss your chance to see the Northern Lights, set against the beauty of a cold winter’s night! Check the booking availability by choosing a date.

Please note that children under 8 years old cannot join the tour as it is very late at night and tiring.

Tour description

Northern lights iceland.

See the glory of the Northern Lights in Iceland! Unforgettable experience!

Our tour takes you to see a spectacular phenomenon which can be seen from late August to mid-April. The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole.  

Why take a guided tour to see the northern lights in Iceland?

Choosing a guided tour increases your chances of seeing the northern lights in Iceland. Our team of experts reviews and studies the weather, locations, and aurora forecast daily to determine if the odds are in our favor. 

The tour is weather-dependent, and sightings are not guaranteed. However, you will experience Icelandic nature, the Milky Way, stars, the moon, clouds, and total darkness during the night. Please note that indicated return times can vary. 

If you don‘t see any northern lights during this tour, you are invited to join the time again, free of charge.  

Passengers can buy waffles and hot drinks on-site, at an extra cost, when available, to enjoy while looking up into the sky.*  *Waffles and hot drinks are only available on the 21:00 departure.

Where do we go to see the northern lights in Iceland?

Our experts decide where the best location is each night, so the exact route is not known in advance. One of the most important factors is going away from the city lights. Based on the weather and aurora forecast, we decide if it is worth going. If yes, our experts decide on the best place to go. 

What to expect on your northern lights tour:

It may be cold outside even though our buses are warm and comfortable. You will have plenty of time to take photos, so we recommend you dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes. We recommend three layers, a cap, gloves, warm socks, and a warm jacket.

We cannot guarantee that you will see the aurora despite our efforts. If we do NOT see northern lights on the tour, passengers can rebook for another evening.

A refund is impossible when we go on the tour and do not see the northern lights.

Your rebook ticket is only valid for you; you can not assign your ticket to someone else.

The tours are planned using larger buses, so large groups. 

You will get some basic information from our guides on getting the best light pictures.

Our guides are experts in the aurora. They know where to hunt them down and how to take pictures of the lights. So please do not hesitate to ask them about the northern lights or for assistance with your photography.

Children are welcome on tour. However, this can be a long and cold night, so it may not be suitable for children younger than six. 

Please note that looking for the aurora is a hunting tour. Civilization (including conventional WCs) is left behind to increase our chances of seeing the aurora. Auroras are best seen outdoors at night in Iceland’s winter. Your well-being on tour depends on your clothing.

FAQ about this northern lights tour:

How can I rebook?

Visit  this site  and log your booking number to choose a new date.

Why was the tour canceled tonight?

A team of experts considers the weather and aurora forecast every day to see if the conditions are favorable or not. If the odds are against the aurora being visible for some reason, we cancel the tour.

If we cancel the tour and you cannot attend at a later date, you can get a refund. 

We did not see the lights on the tour yesterday, and we cannot join the tour again during our stay now. Can we then have a refund?

If you were on tour, a refund is not possible. However, your ticket is valid for two years for rebooking. Save your booking number and visit this site  to choose a new date.  

How far away from the city do you go and where?

The average time heading to the first stop is usually within an hour. The direction of the tour is decided shortly before departure and based on the weather forecast.

They took my voucher on tour last night, so I don’t have my booking number.

If you don’t have your voucher in your email and have no information about your booking number, please call us and have the information ready on when you were initially booked and under which name your tour was booked.

When is the best time of the year to see the lights?

From late August until mid-April.

Why do I not see the lights as in the photos?

The human eye usually sees the northern lights as faint colors of light green, grey, and white. Camera sensors have no eye limitations as they have extended exposure features and other factors.  

Additional information:

Remember to dress warmly. 

This tour depends on the weather and activity, so sightings are not guaranteed.

Indicated return times can vary due to road & weather conditions.

If you don’t see any lights on the tour, you can re-book again for free.

The tour is scheduled daily. However, we do cancel the tour if the forecast for the weather- and the aurora is not promising enough. When a tour is canceled, those booked can change their booking to another date or get a full refund, given that they have not been on tour before.

Travelers reviews

You might like these tours.

Or discover Iceland

Your northern lights hunt starts with our fast and efficient pickup service. We pick up from designated hotels and tour bus stops throughout central Reykjavík. Just let us know when booking your preferred pickup location. When all passengers are on board we leave the city for our adventure.

The Aurora Borealis, known commonly as the Northern Lights, is a naturally occurring light display, commonly seen in high-latitude locations. These ethereal lights are formed when solar winds agitate the magnetic field of the earth, ionizing the particles and causing them to give off light which we see in the form of the wispy bands of colour across the night sky. The aurora can form in a variety of colors depending on the altitude of the particles where they become ionized.

Reykjavik city has a high level of light pollution, making it difficult to get a good view of the aurora. Therefore, this tour takes place away from the city, in the darker countryside. Our in-house expert Northern Lights Team and your guide will make this a memorable experience, providing you with all the necessary information required to understand this phenomenon and will take you to the best possible location to view the Aurora Borealis.

You can count on the BusTravel Iceland team to do everything within their power to make the night outstanding for you.

The Northern Lights are wild and unpredictable, so hunting the lights requires a lot of patience and warm weather-appropriate clothing. We provide warming hot chocolate and quintessential Icelandic snacks to complement your evening tour. Please make sure that you are prepared to spend some time outside in the arctic winter, warm clothing is an absolute must.

Although Iceland offers ideal conditions to view the northern lights, they can never be guaranteed. If you are unfortunate not to get a sighting on our tour, we offer a free rescheduling to another evening. Details of how to rebook in case of no lights will be supplied by the guide. The offer for rebooking is valid for three years from the date of your first tour departure.

At the end of the night, we’ll bring you back to Reykjavik and you will be dropped off at your preferred location. Please note that the duration of the tour is normally 3-4 hours but can vary in length depending on weather conditions in the evening.

Northern Lights Bus Tour from Reykjavík

Description

Experience the mysterious glow of the Northern Lights on an exciting bus tour from Reykjavík!

This tour is the perfect choice for people travelling during the autumn and winter months in Iceland, when the nights are dark enough for the Aurora Borealis to be visible in the sky. There’s nothing quite as enchanting as venturing out into the crisp, cool air on an evening excursion beyond the boundaries of the city.

You will be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavík, before heading towards the city outskirts, far from any light pollution. During the next three hours, you’ll turn your eyes towards the sky, in search of this elusive phenomenon where broad horizons make for a gorgeous, starry backdrop.

The Aurora Borealis is a natural light show which is caused by solar winds entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The result is a myriad of different colours gracing the night sky around the magnetic North Pole. The most common of all the colours is green, though the Aurora can also take on ethereal hues of pink, purple and red.

Iceland is situated just a few degrees south of the Arctic Circle (66°30'N), making it one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. With a combination of exhilarating landscapes, minimal city lights and expansive night skies, you’ll be in for a truly magical evening watching the Aurora dance in the heavens above.

Due to the dynamic nature of this atmospheric phenomenon, departure dates and times for this tour will vary depending on solar activity and the weather forecast. There will be no set itinerary; rather, your driver and guide will monitor the conditions to ensure that you’ll be best placed to witness the Northern Lights, provided that the skies are clear. If there is no Aurora activity forecast or if cloud cover means that it will not be visible, then the tour will be cancelled and you will be issued with a free voucher to join the tour again for another chance to chase the Northern Lights in Iceland.

Do not miss the opportunity to tick off this bucket list item during your trip to Iceland! Maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights on this incredible bus tour from Reykjavík. Check availability by choosing a date.
