The Chasing The Northern Lights Tour is perfect for the traveler who isn't afraid to go after what they want. Someone who loves nature is adventurous and is willing to wake up early and stay up late for a chance to get a glimpse at the Aurora Borealis.
You will spend lots of time in a private van exploring Iceland's Golden Circle. The extended periods of sitting will be broken up with nature walks and relaxing hot spring sessions.
Please note that while there is a good chance of seeing the lights of the aurora this far north, there is no guarantee, as they are a natural phenomenon and weather conditions can affect visibility.
There are several apps you can download that show current and forecast activity of the aurora around the world. Some can alert you at night when the aurora becomes visible in your location.
Remember to pack warm clothes, as temperatures can drop to below –5°C.
