What to expect
Aurora Experts is Iceland's most awarded northern lights tour — holder of Travelers' Choice & Best of the Best award, ranking among the top 1% of experiences worldwide. Our 93% sighting rate over five years speaks for itself.
With a maximum of 18 guests, this is one of the most intimate small-group northern lights experiences available in Iceland. No crowded buses, no rushing — just your small group, your expert local guide, and Iceland's aurora.
We are the only northern lights operator in Iceland providing warm winter snowsuits and comfortable outdoor chairs on location. When you're warm and relaxed, you can fully absorb the magic of the aurora dancing above you — even if we're waiting past midnight for the show to begin.
Your guide Heimir — born and raised in Iceland — brings deep knowledge of aurora forecasting, using live satellite imagery, Bz levels and advanced weather data to maximise your chances of success. We monitor conditions constantly and only go out when we genuinely believe conditions are right. In the rare event the lights don't appear, we offer unlimited re-runs at no extra cost.
Professional photography is included throughout — full-body compositions, properly lit and edited, delivered within 48 hours. These aren't phone snapshots. These are gallery-quality images you'll treasure forever.
To complete the experience, we serve traditional Icelandic snacks — dried fish, cinnamon rolls, pastries, chocolate, hot cocoa, and Brennivín — beneath the Arctic sky.
This is Iceland's northern lights done properly.
