Northern Lights Tours

Those interested in learning more about Iceland's geology and volcanic environment will enjoy our **Private Luxury Jeep Tour to Reykjanes Peninsula and Northern Lights with Blue Lagoon and Lava Tunnel**. From black sand dunes to basalt cliffs and geothermal springs, you'll witness a wide range of Icelandic landscapes on this private luxury jeep trip. With some luck, you may even get a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky.

We pick you up from your Reykjavik hotel with our comfy luxury 4x4 jeep and drive south to visit the amazing **Raufarhólshellir** lava tunnel, the fourth-longest lava tube in Iceland and one of the most interesting and visually stunning we have ever seen. 

There is an hour-long guided tour at the tunnel with a local guide who will tell you all about the various lava formations, how lava caves are formed, and the numerous sorts of minerals that can be discovered there. The colors and rock forms of the lava cave will awe you, and you'll get to feel the unusual stillness of the cave.

**Reykjanes Geopark**, a UNESCO site and one of Iceland's geological treasures, is the next stop on this Private Luxury Jeep tour of Reykjanes Peninsula. Here we explore the magnificent **Kleifarvatn** and **Grænavatn** lakes, as well as the colorful and steamy geothermal hills of **Seltún**, where designated paths take you around hot springs and boiling mud pools. 

Next, we visit **Reykjanesviti**, one of Iceland's oldest lighthouses, which sits atop stunning cliffs not far from the **Gunnuhver** geothermal area, where the legend of a haunting ghost lady has been passed down for generations. After that, we travel to the **Bridge Between Two Continents**, where you can walk over the fissure between the North American and the European tectonic plates which are drifting apart.

A visit to **Viking World**, a fascinating museum about the Vikings in Iceland and the North Atlantic, is also included in our Private Luxury Reykjanes Jeep Tour. The Icelander, a life-sized replica of a Viking ship unearthed during archeological digs in Norway, is on display here as part of your Viking history lesson. To celebrate the trip of Leifur Eiriksson, the first European to sail to North America, the replica was sailed to New York City in 2000.

To wrap up our time on the Reykjanes Peninsula, our Private Luxury Reykjanes Peninsula and Northern Lights Tour continue to one of Iceland's best-known attractions, the **Blue Lagoon**. Here you have some time to snap some pictures and, if you wish, you can enter the pool, for a relaxing, luxurious experience. Please note tickets to access the Blue Lagoon must be booked in advance and are not included in the price of the tour. 

After that, we set out on a quest to catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring **Northern Lights**. During our Private Luxury Reykjanes Peninsula and Northern Lights jeep tour, we will be reviewing the aurora prediction to identify the best potential sites for us to witness these natural phenomena away from the city light. Please keep in mind that the Northern Lights are natural phenomena and cannot be guaranteed due to a variety of circumstances, including chance. This Private Luxury Jeep Tour is already wonderful, but seeing the Northern Lights while on it is an added bonus.

We end our luxury tour back at your hotel in Reykjavik.

##### Best time to see northern lights in Iceland

Northern lights in Iceland may be viewed **from September through March**, and they're among the most breathtaking sights you'll ever see.

It need to be dark to see the Northern Lights.

##### Best place to see Northern Lights in Iceland

Because the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights is so variable and **dependent on many factors, including weather and cloud coverage, there is no definitive answer to this question**.

##### What cause the northern lights?

- As we now know, the collision of solar winds with the Earth's magnetic field is what causes the Northern Lights to appear. They occur in the upper atmosphere, where their colors and forms are determined by the altitudes at which they appear and the acceleration of the sun particles.
- The **Northern Lights**, or _**Norðurljós**_ in Icelandic, are a spectacular show of lights dancing across the night sky, resembling a gigantic fire from a distance, with magnificent flames blazing over the whole sky in continual motion. For millennia, the Northern Lights have captivated people with their vibrant hues and hypnotic movement.

Private Northern Lights Luxury Tour

This private luxury evening jeep tour is perfect if you want to experience something special during your visit to Iceland: bathe in a geothermal pool, taste delicious Icelandic cuisine, and chase the Northern Lights. 

We pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik with our luxury jeep and drive to one of the oldest natural pools in Iceland, the **Secret Lagoon**. Less crowded than the Blue Lagoon, the Secret Lagoon offers a more private experience. The pool is owned by an Icelandic family that, over the years, has made it the popular and unique destination it is today.

After a relaxing bath, our luxury tour continues with a nice **dinner** in a restaurant serving local Icelandic food. If you think traditional Icelandic is just rotten shark and dried fish, you will think again after a great culinary experience in the charming Icelandic countryside. If you have any special dietary restrictions, make sure to let us know at the time of booking. 

Relaxed and well-fed, we go back to our luxury 4x4 jeep and start chasing **Northern Lights** away from the city lights pollution.

You will learn more about this natural phenomenon that can be seen in Iceland during the winter (September-March) as you stare at the skies waiting for the lights to start dancing. Seeing the Northern Lights will be one of the best experiences in your life. It is, however, good to keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, very hard to predict and never guaranteed. The Northern Lights depend on several factors, such as cloud coverage, solar activity, and general weather conditions. We consider all these factors and do our best to find the perfect places to offer you the best chances to see the Northern Lights, but we can never guarantee it.

What we can guarantee is that we will chase the Northern Lights in all comfort, from the warm seats of our luxury 4x4 jeep.
