Northern Lights and Telescope Stargazing Small Group Tour from Reykjavík

The telescope is what separates this tour from the rest of the field. While the group waits for the aurora, it gets turned on the planets of the solar system and on deep space objects whose light left them lightyears ago. That fills the hours other tours spend staring at cloud. The group is small, so the vehicle can leave the main roads and stop somewhere without a queue of coaches. Where it goes is decided by the cloud forecast that evening, not by habit. Photographs of everyone under the lights are taken free. The guides chase northern lights weather all winter and paragliding weather all summer, which is a particular kind of local knowledge: they read Icelandic skies year round, for their own reasons as much as yours.
