Get away from the light pollution of the city and enjoy a night of hunting for the elusive northern lights after dark.

Based on the predictions, the guides will choose which direction to go from Akureyri for the best possibility of seeing the awe-inspiring northern lights.
It might be a long night, so Kleina, an Icelandic twisted donut, and hot chocolate are provided to keep up your energy and help you stay warm. Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions and bring your camera.
Your guide will give you tips and pointers for spotting the northern lights as sometimes they start very faintly.
