Aurora Basecamp: Northern Lights Nighttime Observation Tour

1. Aurora Basecamp: Northern Lights Nighttime Observation Tour

When the conditions are right you will be able to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights at Aurora Basecamp, located just 30 minutes from Reykjavik. When and if the time comes, and the Northern Lights light up the night sky, head out to witness the Aurora Borealis in all its glory. Upon arrival, meet your guide at the entrance of the dome and enjoy a welcome hot chocolate to warm up. Then, wander through a small exhibition together with your guide and learn all there is to know about the Northern Lights and how to spot them. As you wait for the magic to happen, wander in and out of the heated lounge, or have a seat outside by the fire pits. Feel free to ask your guide any questions you may have or for help getting the perfect photograph.

What people are saying about Reykjanes Peninsula

Helmir was a wonderful guide, he went out of his way for us to see the Northern Lights. He knows the best places to see the Lights, even without sharing with people on other tours traveling in large groups. He also has the camera to take the photos correctly, with our cell phone it is not so good, and after the tour Helmir sent us the photos at no extra cost. Finally, we were also able to try traditional snacks and drinks. I fully recommend Aurora Experts and especially Helmir.

Fantastic experience even in the rain. Weather changes very quickly so still saw the lights with the guide's help. Great chilled evening with fascinating info about how the northern lights come about. Would throughly recommend!

Fantastic experience overall, we were lucly to see the lights and it was great to have the dome to go in and out of to keep warm. The only downside was that the only way to arrive is by taxi which is £55 each way

Really enjoyed it, great location and atmosphere. Tour guide was super sexy too! - Daniel 05/10/22
