Overview

Iceland Escape with Northern Lights Experience

Discover the raw beauty of Iceland, a land of fire, ice, and magical skies. On this 2night Northern Lights getaway, you’ll base yourself in vibrant Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, while setting out to witness one of the world’s most stunning natural phenomena — the aurora borealis.

The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are shimmering ribbons of green, violet, and pink that dance across the Icelandic night skies during the winter months. More than just a scientific phenomenon, these lights are woven into rich folklore, believed by some Arctic cultures to be spirits of ancient warriors or omens of great change.

With your included Northern Lights guided tour, you’ll have the best chance to see the spectacle in one of the world’s top auroraviewing destinations.
