ICELAND – NEW YEAR’S NORTHERN LIGHTS ADVENTURE 04 NIGHTS/05 DAYS

This is an escorted tour taking you to the Icelandic countryside to celebrate New Year’s Eve in a casual and Icelandic way. We recommend booking early, as this program is only available for a maximum of 40 persons.

 We offer New Year’s adventure where you stay in simple hotels and cottages in Reykjavík and South Iceland; all rooms with private bathroom. We spend two nights in Hella, a small village in South Iceland where you will be able to discover and experience how Icelandic countryside people celebrate New Year’s Eve. We promise that even in a casual program the meals and drinks will be delicious. Did we mention the Northern Lights? The accommodations in Hella are located in a large and dark garden where it is very easy to see the Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis, if the weather conditions are suitable. Our expert tour guide provides you even with a fact talk about the Northern Lights and gives you some tips on how to take photos of this natural phenomenon. On the 1st of January, the program includes fine dining at a restaurant downtown Reykjavík.

We look forward to celebrating the start of a new year with you in the Icelandic countryside!

When can we see the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights season is from September to mid-April. We carefully choose locations to maximize your chances to see the northern lights with the help of a professional tour guide.

Are the Northern Lights guaranteed on this trip?

The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis as they are also referred to are one of the many natural wonders of the world. As a naturally occurring phenomenon, the appearance of the Northern Lights is notoriously difficult to predict any further in advance than about two hours before it happens. As much is dependent on solar activity, we cannot accurately predict when they will occur or how frequently. Every endeavour will be made on this trip to see the Northern Lights if it is the correct time of year to see the lights. However, this is not guaranteed. The tour includes two Northern Light walks from the hotel in the countryside.

What is the age range?

The minimum age limit for this tour is 8 years old, and we don’t recommend it for younger children. There is, on the

other hand, no maximum age for this tour. What is the suggested budget for meals?

Somewhere between 8.000 and 10.000 ISK per person per day is a good budget for lunch and dinner while on tour.

Are there locations to purchase food while we are on the trip, or must the meals be pre-packed?

We will make stops during the tour at restaurants, supermarkets and gas stations where meals, drinks and snacks can be purchased while on tour.

How much time is spent at each attraction?

We stop for about 40 minutes at each attraction.

LISTEN TO WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS – This is an easy tour, there is no hike. But there is some walking on gravel roads. The only other stop that might be a bit difficult is Reynisfjara, the Black Sand Beach. But guests can absolutely go and see, we just suggest listening to the guide and looking at the warning lists (if they are on).
