Northern Lights Tours from Reykjavík

Family-owned. Experienced local guides. Our own aurora-hunting technology.

Aurora Viking combines local experience with onboard devices and software developed in-house. Our guides follow satellite cloud imagery and live solar-wind data to find clear skies and time the chase—and the monitors inside our buses let you follow along.

How our technology helps us find the Northern Lights

Cloud forecasts can miss where and when skies will clear. Our guides watch satellite observations for emerging openings and use current solar-wind trends to help time our arrival as the aurora strengthens. Adapting to changing conditions can improve our chances of a sighting. Some guests describe the experience as storm chasing for clear skies.
