Aurora Reykjavik
Aurora Reykjavík stands as an exceptional Northern Lights Centre and museum, meticulously curated by passionate and knowledgeable enthusiasts and photographers of the northern lights. It offers an illuminating glimpse into the forthcoming adventure of your Northern Lights pursuit. The museum features an interactive presentation of the aurora, coupled with an educational hub dedicated to the scientific nuances, mythology, and historical significance of the aurora borealis. Among the myriad attractions within the museum, a captivating film showcasing the Northern Lights gracefully dancing across the Icelandic skies stands as a true highlight.
Northern Lights Hunting
Following your museum visit, the tour sets forth from Reykjavik, guided by weather and aurora forecasts toward the most promising vantage point. Our ability to adapt swiftly plays a pivotal role in ensuring a rewarding Northern Lights sighting, steering the tour’s focus toward discovering the optimal viewing location.
During the journey, our passionate Northern Lights guides will impart their extensive insights about this mesmerizing phenomenon, gearing you up for the upcoming night and providing valuable camera tips. We recommend bringing your tripod along for the tour. While contemporary smartphones can capture astonishing Northern Lights shots, a DSLR camera promises optimal results.
Thanks to our small group size, you’re guaranteed a tailored experience that’s flexible and personalized. This intimacy assures ample time for your guide to assist you in achieving your photography aspirations.
As the aurora is a natural and unpredictable wonder, patience becomes a virtue. To make your wait more comfortable and keep you warm, we’ll treat you to homemade hot chocolate and traditional Icelandic snacks. However, please ensure you’re dressed in snug, wind-resistant clothing, along with a sturdy hat, gloves, and insulated footwear to fully embrace the experience.
In case there are no lights
Witnessing the Northern Lights stands as an unparalleled encounter and an essential Icelandic experience. Yet, the elusive nature of these lights defies precise prediction, making a sighting far from guaranteed. Our dedicated experts diligently assess each situation to confirm tours only proceed when a favorable chance of encountering the lights exists. In the event that the aurora eludes you, we extend a gracious offer: a complimentary reattempt at the tour, valid for up to three years.
