Hunting for the Northern Lights
If these fascinating dancing lights are the main focus for your trip to Iceland, may we help to maximise your chances of success? The Aurora Borealis are visible in Iceland from late August to mid-April and are best seen in areas without light pollution, even better in a beautiful, unusual location.
Perfect for you if you’d like us to arrange your plans around hunting for the Aurora so that any sightseeing you want to do, where you stay and how you travel is all carefully organised. It’s the details that are important, so please contact us to make a start well in advance.
For a successful trip with a Northern Lights or winter skies focus, good planning and a bit of good luck really helps. Although Aurora sightings are never guaranteed, it’s certainly true to say that we know how to organise holidays that make the best of your chances of success while avoiding the planning pitfalls. We’ll listen to your ideas, understand what you are hoping to achieve and interpret the memories that you want to make. We know from experience that the range of Aurora expectations varies, and we want everyone to return home having fulfilled their hopes so we work hard to get this right from the start.
For some this is simply to be out in the dark, to watch the dancing lights with their own eyes and to have shared in the delight that this brings. For others, it’s the chance to develop photography skills amongst a small group of like minded people or perhaps to be right out on location in a remote mountain hut setting to experience the Northern Lights as part of a rugged winter adventure.
We are here to help with information about our wide range of scheduled and more bespoke holidays.
“A trip of a lifetime! Prior to going, I felt confident about our holiday into the unknown as you were so confident yourself and full of so much information, tips etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Once we were there, we had such a brilliant time doing really different activities we’d never tried before and seeing such interesting geographical features in stunning surroundings. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful.”
“Iceland has been somewhere I have always wanted to go to, so my expectations were high! I was blown away by the country, its people and the whole experience! Thanks to the Iceland Traveller team!”
