Hunt for the aurora borealis on a guided group tour from the major hotel around Hofn and Glacier Lagoon. Witness the unique starry sky with the flash of light cutting across the Icelandic landscape.

This duration of the tour may adjust is we have an early appearance of the lights, or if we need to take a little extra time for the hunt. The end location is not pre-determined as it will depend on the cloud coverage and activity in the evening. The drive will be kept as short as possible and you might stop at several locations as the lights can be quite elusive. If we have a spot the guide determines as a good location, we might stay in that spot- It is often a waiting game for this beautiful phenomenon, but it is always worth it. As you search for the aurora borealis, your guide will set up their camera for photos of your group. Your tour guide will ensure everybody gets an opportunity for a photo. Curl up in warm blankets and enjoy a self-service selection of hot chocolate and snacks and enjoy some stargazing while we wait for the aurora to appear. If our hunt is successful, we email photos using a drop box link within 7 days of your tour to the email provided with the booking. THIS TOUR RUNS DEPENDENT ON WEATHER - every day we assess the situation and decide whether or not to run the tour.
