Most northern lights tours in Iceland are over-packed — and when that happens, you lose the magic. That’s why we built our Aurora Experts experience around a strict small group guarantee of maximum 18 passengers, while most operators run tours with 18 to 52 seats. The difference is night and day.

Our 93% successful sighting rate doesn’t happen by accident. We are transparent and honest about conditions every single night — if there is zero chance of seeing the lights, we won’t go out. Many other companies head out regardless and never give their guests the full picture. That’s not how we operate.

Our guides are native Icelanders, born and raised here, with an intimate knowledge of the land that no guidebook can teach. That means access to secret locations other guides simply don’t know about — spots far from the crowds, chosen for their serenity and their skies. While many tour operators give up and head back to the city before midnight, we stay out as long as it takes. If the signs are promising, we wait — because that’s what you came here for.

Every tour is led by one of Iceland’s finest northern lights photographers, and we are the only tour operator in Iceland offering warm winter snowsuits and outdoor chairs on location as standard inclusions. Not an upgrade. Not an add-on. Just part of what we consider the highest quality northern lights experience available in Iceland.

We believe the standard northern lights tour in Iceland needed a serious upgrade — so we built one from scratch. Every Aurora Experts tour includes unlimited high-resolution edited photos delivered within 48 hours via Dropbox, mobile and camera tripods to borrow, and our famous spread of traditional Icelandic snacks, pastries, chocolate, hot cocoa, tea, soda and Icelandic Snaps.

There are no hidden extras. No charge for photos, no gear rental fee, no booking or service fees. Everything is included — full stop.
