Northern Lights Bus Tour From Reykjavík
Feel free to contact us
Description
Join a Northern Lights bus tour from Reykjavík and give yourself the best chance to see the aurora with a team that chases it night after night. Your guide and operations team track conditions to choose the most promising dark-sky location for that evening.
As you head out of the city, your guide shares local folklore and facts about the aurora, and the night is topped off with BusTravel’s special hot chocolate. If the lights don’t appear on your first try, you can rebook for another night free of charge. The free retry is valid for 3 years.
Pick-up is available from central Reykjavík, including free pick-up from Tour Bus Stops 5 and 12 (other central locations may have an additional fee). Total tour time is usually 3–4 hours, but it can vary depending on weather and conditions.
