Why it's on Icebreaker

Northern Lights Tour

Aurora hunting needs four things: the right season (September through March), a decent forecast, a cloudless night and proper darkness. The first three are out of anyone's hands. The fourth means leaving town, and going with a guide means someone else reads the cloud-cover maps, picks the direction and stands out in the cold while you wait in a warm minibus until called. Two small-group options pick up in Reykjavík. EastWest runs a four-hour trip for up to 19 people, with wool blankets, hot chocolate, Icelandic pastries and free photos if conditions allow. Aurora Viking stays out five hours, with cocoa, gingerbread and Viking outfits and weapons to pose with during the wait. Nobody can promise lights, so both let you rebook for free if the sky stays blank.

From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
