Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, a celestial masterpiece that captivates the imagination. This extraordinary natural phenomenon unfolds when solar particles collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a luminous spectacle that paints the night sky in mesmerizing hues of green, red, and sometimes even purple – an experience that is truly unforgettable.
Embark on our exclusive 2-2.5 hour Northern Lights tour, a quest enhanced by a plethora of intriguing sights. Cruise along the captivating coastline, offering a unique perspective on city lights while awaiting the breathtaking Northern Lights display. Our primary focus is on this awe-inspiring natural wonder, yet you can also relish the crisp ocean breeze and marvel at the star-studded night sky during the anticipation.
As we navigate the coastline, enjoy fresh vantage points of iconic landmarks such as the Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall & Conference Centre, the art sculpture Sun Voyager, and the historic Höfði house – the site of the 1986 Cold War-ending agreement.
