WE ARE EXPERTS IN THE GOLDEN CIRCLE & NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Ultimate Golden Circle & Northern Lights Combo Tour will take you on a magical journey through south Iceland with erupting geysers, waterfalls, tectonic plates, bathing in the Secret Lagoon the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, visit to the local tomato farm Friðheimar for the best tomato soup and home baked bread in the world as well as go on a hunt for the northern lights, all in one day or in two separate dates that you choose.
To make it easier for our guests, we designed this combo tour with the option to do it in one day which is perfect for visitors that are only in Iceland for 1-3 days but also with the option to choose two separate dates for those tours. If you do both tours in one day, their duration is 14 – 15 hours but our guests always get to go back to their hotel for 2-3 hours in between the two tours before we pick them up again.
Due to the demand, most Golden Circle and Northern Lights tours are over-packed and you lose some of the magic in the experience. That’s why we created our “Ultimate Golden Circle & Northern Lights Tour with All Inclusive and Small Group Guarantee” that only allows maximum group size of 14 passengers in the Golden Circle and only 18 passengers in the Northern Lights tour when most of the other NL tour operators offer 20 to 52 seats in each tour. This guarantee helps us create a truly personalized, cozy and memorable touring experience for our guests.
We pride ourselves as the only northern lights operator in Iceland providing warm winter jumpsuits and outdoor chairs on location, ensuring your comfort in the chilly Arctic weather far away from city lights, traffic, and other tour groups enhancing your Northern Lights experience. Indulge in traditional Icelandic snacks, including dried fish, cinnamon rolls, pastries, chocolate, hot cocoa, tea and premium Icelandic Vodka and Snaps.
Our expert guides provide unlimited amount of professional photos from the tour and ensures you go home with stunning photos of the Northern Lights and insightful knowledge of this natural wonder.
With meticulous attention to detail, our expert team utilizes highly advanced weather, cloud, and aurora forecasts, backed by satellite images to enhance your chances of witnessing the lights. In the rare event that unforeseen circumstances obstruct the view, we offer unlimited re-runs until you witness the mesmerizing spectacle.
*We are the ONE AND ONLY northern lights operation in Iceland offering warm winter jumpsuits in northern lights tours.

– We start with the Golden Circle 8am in the morning and we get back to Reykjavík before 18pm so you will have 1-2 hours to spend before you join our Northern Lights tour.

– Witnessing a natural phenomenon like the Northern Lights can be a life-changing experience, but it is NOT one that is always guaranteed. Our expert team uses highly detailed weather, cloud and aurora forecasts with satellite images to make sure we get you into the absolute best conditions available that night. Our northern lights sighting rate is 90% and we maximize our sighting chances by only going out when activity and cloud coverage are favorable for us.
– If, despite our best efforts, some unforeseen circumstance renders viewing the lights impossible, we offer free re-trie that will be valid for two years from the date of your tour. However, the availability of this free re-trie will depend on the tours that are currently scheduled.
– We reserve the right to cancel the tour as late as 18.30 pm due to weather not being favorable for us. We make a honest decision and e-mail all our guests on the day of the tour at 18.30pm latest to confirm whether the tour is on or off.
– Weather in Iceland changes quickly, so please make sure to wear warm and windproof clothing, a good hat and gloves, and sturdy shoes. If you need extra winter clothing, we will offer cozy winter overalls on location for those who need them.
– Please note that the duration of the northern lights tour is normally around 4 hours but can vary in lenght depending on weather conditions.
– How we measure a Northern Lights sighting / non sighting : If you can see the lights with your own naked eyes or only fainted green line for a short time, that is a northern light sighting. Non sighting could be for example if we can only see the lights through our camera, not with our own eyes.
We do not offer refunds, whether partial or full, for tours where a sighting was not possible.
