Accessibility

The Exclusive Northern Lights Private Tour is generally accessible for guests with limited mobility, as most viewing locations are reachable by vehicle. However, wheelchair accessibility may vary depending on weather, road, and terrain conditions at the chosen viewing site. Guests using wheelchairs are encouraged to inform the tour operator in advance so that suitable arrangements and accessible routes can be planned.

Infant and Child Safety

The tour is family-friendly, and infant and child seats are available upon request. Please notify the tour provider at the time of booking to ensure appropriate seating and safety equipment are prepared. As the tour takes place at night and involves cold outdoor conditions, families should bring extra warm clothing and blankets for children.

Service Animals

Service animals are welcome on the tour; however, guests should inform the operator in advance to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for both the animal and other passengers. Some remote viewing areas may have uneven or icy terrain, so service animals should be appropriately equipped for cold weather.

Weather and Visibility

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. The tour is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled or adjusted if cloud cover or storms prevent clear viewing. Your guide continuously monitors aurora forecasts to maximize your chances of experiencing the lights.

Clothing and Preparation

Guests should dress in warm, layered, and waterproof clothing, including hats, gloves, scarves, and insulated footwear. Even short periods outdoors at night can be cold, especially while waiting for the Aurora to appear.

Safety and Comfort

Your private guide is trained to ensure safety and comfort throughout the evening. The vehicle is equipped for Iceland’s winter conditions, and warm blankets or reflective vests may be provided.

Duration and Departure

This private experience lasts approximately 3 hours, departing from your hotel or a designated meeting point in Reykjavík. Pickup and drop-off are included for your convenience.

The Exclusive 3-Hour Northern Lights Private Tour is designed for comfort, accessibility, and personal attention.

Prepare for an enchanting evening under Iceland’s starry skies as you set out in search of the Northern Lights. To ensure a comfortable and unforgettable experience during your Exclusive 3-Hour Private Tour, here’s everything you should bring to stay warm, cozy, and ready for nature’s most magical light show.

Warm, Layered Clothing

Icelandic nights can be cold — even more so in open viewing areas. Dress in multiple insulating layers so you can easily adjust to changing temperatures.

• Thermal base layers
• Fleece or wool mid-layer
• Waterproof and windproof outer jacket and pants

Sturdy, Insulated Footwear

Wear waterproof boots with good grip and insulation. You may need to step onto icy or uneven terrain while finding the perfect viewing spot, so comfort and stability are key.

Cold-Weather Accessories

Keep warm while you wait for the Aurora’s appearance with insulated gloves or mittens, a wool hat or beanie, and a scarf or neck gaiter. Hand warmers can also be a great addition for extra comfort.

Camera or Smartphone

Bring a camera or smartphone with manual settings to capture the Northern Lights in all their brilliance. A tripod and portable charger are highly recommended, as long exposures and cold temperatures can drain batteries quickly.

Snacks and Warm Drinks

While the tour provides transport and guidance, food and beverages are not included. Pack your favorite snacks or a thermos with hot chocolate, tea, or coffee to enjoy under the stars while waiting for the Aurora Borealis to dance across the sky.

Small Daypack or Bag

Carry your essentials in a small, waterproof backpack — perfect for extra layers, camera gear, or personal items.

Optional Extras

If you’re traveling with children, bring blankets, extra layers, or a small pillow for added comfort during the journey.

With the right clothing, a camera in hand, and a sense of wonder, your Exclusive 3-Hour Northern Lights Private Tour will be an unforgettable encounter with Iceland’s most magical natural phenomenon.
