Northern Lights Iceland Tour
A final decision is made at 17:00hrs daily as to whether the tour will take place. Remember, if there was no chance of seeing the lights, there is no way we would be on the bus! We don’t want to waste your valuable time whilst you are in Iceland. Please visit www.thuletravel.is for booking info or ask your hotel reception assistant to book it for you.
Furthermore, if for some reason mother nature doesn’t deliver on the night you do the tour, you will be given a voucher to take the tour again with us free of charge. In fact, its very important in that instance you re book for the free tour as soon as is possible. You can do this by either calling us or sending us an email.
Our tour begins departing from Reykjavik after pick- up between 20:00 -20:30 and we will then escape the major light pollution of the city and head out to find darker skies
Clear skies are essential and using only experienced guides with contacts in many places assures you that we will endeavor to find a viewing area that is clear. We consult several forecasts both weather and Aurora in order to better place us in the ideal location. Where possible avoiding any other groups
Whilst searching for the Aurora our guides will enlighten you with tales of local folklore and information about the Aurora.
We look forward to welcoming you on our Northern Lights tour.
Terms & Conditions
All hotels and booking agents in and around Reykjavik will be informed if the tour is going ahead or not. We will indeed inform them all by email of our decision by 17:00 hrs local time.
Please make sure that you speak to your hotel front desk or booking agent around that time to see if the tour is on or off.
Bus pick up for the Northern Lights tour is between 20:00 and 20:30 hrs but we recommend that you are ready in the reception of your accommodation from 20:00. This way you can be ready to board as soon as we arrive. It will also save us time having to come and look for you. The Privilege Tour does, in fact, depart earlier between 19:00 and 19:30 hrs.
We are good at what we do, however, sometimes mother nature just does not deliver. In fact, we can never make any guarantee on any evening that the Aurora will appear. However, if we go out we believe there is a chance. Alternatively, we reserve the right to cancel/return from the tour at a time decided by our guides.
On our return, we will endeavor to drop guests off at their original pick up point though sometimes there may be a need to drop guests off as close as possible to that point due to vehicular restrictions in Reykjavik which are changing all the time.
All cancellations by you must be made in person at your booking point or you can email or call us at Thule travel within 24 hours of departure.
Group size: No limits on the number of persons for the standard Northern Lights Tour but there is a maximum of 18 for the deluxe tour.
Photo-shoot: On our Northern Lights Tour, we offer our guests the opportunity to have a photo taken of themselves with the Northern Lights in the background. We will post those photos to our Facebook page but they can also be sent to an e-mail address if you prefer. In fact, these are free of charge as well as being our gift to you
