"Set off on an exciting journey to discover the Aurora Borealis on a small-group tour from Reykjavik. Utilizing forecasts and collaborating with local experts, your expert guide is prepared to locate the prime viewing spots for the Northern Lights. If there's a wait at any location, stay warm and comfortable with blankets, hot chocolate, and delightful Icelandic pastries while anticipating this natural wonder." We will go with you outside the city, where there is a clear clear sky. However, the exact route remains a surprise. That's why the trip is called hunting for the northern lights. The place where we can see the lights depends on the weather, and it is not predictable. We will drive through Reykjavik at night, along the ocean coast and mountains.
