Northern lights tour | Frozen night, mystery and magic (included)

To enter the dark, frozen winter night and observe an unbelievable display of colour, light and texture is like waking up in a fairy-tale full of mystery and magic. You will be picked  up at your accommodation and drive out to the countryside or up to the mountains, away from electric glow and city sounds. Astronomers are predicting the 2011-2013 northern lights viewing season to be the most active in years and there are few better places to see them than around Akureyri. The northern lights are visible from September through April but can only be seen on a clear night. 
 
Note: Sightings cannot be guaranteed even if the tour is operated. In case of no northern lights a free second departure is offered for the following evening.
