Akureyri: Northern Lights Tour by Minivan

We pick you up from your hotel in the evening, and together, we search for the Northern Lights in the sky. Named after the Roman goddess Aurora, these colorful lights swirl around the sky in a dramatic dance, leaving different patterns and shapes. We drive away from any light pollution in the town of Akureyri to give us a better view of our Northern Lights hunt. Once we find the lights, you will have ample time to take photographs or enjoy the experience. Hot drinks are provided.

The Northern Lights have had several names throughout the history. The Greeks called this phenomenon the “Dance of the Spirits”. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, these lights were commonly believed to be a sign from God. Icelandic folklore tells us about the angels dancing in heaven; their dresses were supposed to create these magnificent shapes of light in the sky.
