Northern Lights 4x4 Minibus Photography Tour from Akureyri
The vehicle is what separates this from the standard departure: a 4x4 mini-bus, with a local guide who knows the area and is rated accordingly. The route runs out of Akureyri town into the countryside, far enough from the bright lights that the colours in the aurora are actually visible rather than guessed at. Icelandic tales fill the drive, and professional photographs of your night are available to buy. Hot chocolate and biscuits are included. Pickup and drop-off from hotels and guesthouses in Akureyri are free. If no northern lights are seen, the next evening is free, provided a group tour is running that day.
What's included
- Pick up and drop off
