Northern Lights City Break

Have you always wanted to see the Northern Lights?  Searching for the Northern Lights is an adventure that makes a perfect city break, romantic getaway or family holiday. And the ideal place to take a Northern Lights holiday is Iceland, which is a short flight from the UK, affordable and provides some of the best Northern Lights viewing conditions in the world from late August through April.  Astronomers are predicting that the Northern Lights will be some of the brightest in decades over the next few years due to a peak in the solar cycle, so now is the time to visit.

The package includes flights, three nights hotel (extra nights available) and an evening coach trip with Reykjavik Excursions to the best Northern Lights viewing location on that evening. You might see them just outside of Reykjavik or perhaps from the middle of a lava field an hour's drive into the countryside. Every tour is unique, which is part of the adventure and your guide will use the most up-to-date weather and solar activity reports to plan your route.

It's not just the Northern Lights that make Iceland the best winter holiday destination. During your visit, spend time snowmobiling on glaciers, visit the steaming geysers or relax in the geothermal Blue Lagoon. You can customise your trip with add-ons from the popular Golden Circle tour to snorkelling a fissure between two tectonic plates. Plus you will have plenty of time to enjoy the cosy cafes, lively nightlife and the cool Nordic culture of Reykjavik. To get a taste for this package, view the video below.

TIP: Remember to bring warm clothes for the tour, as it can get very cold in the evenings.

Please Note: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomena and therefore their appearance cannot be predicted. The Northern Lights tour is scheduled to take place on the evening after arrival (day 2). On the day of your tour, please check with the tour desk at your hotel to check if the tour is operating. If the weather conditions on the evening of your tour are not favourable for searching for the Northern Lights, the tour will be cancelled and you will be given the option of going on the tour the following night for free. Please note that no refunds will be offered for the complimentary tour portion of the package.
