Northern Lights Small Group Minibus Tour
Reykjavik, Iceland
About This Activity
Sterna Travel's Northern Lights bus tour keeps group sizes small for a personal experience. Guides chase clear skies away from Reykjavík's light pollution, stopping at the best available vantage points. Included: hot chocolate, traditional Icelandic kleina doughnuts, blankets, and tripod use. If no lights appear, you're welcome back for free on another night. Tours operate Sep–Apr and prices are among the most affordable in Reykjavík.
Seasonal note: Northern Lights season Sep–Apr; 2026 solar maximum = strongest auroras in a decade. Peak Dec–Feb.
