Reykjavík Northern Lights Bus Tour with Hot Chocolate and Dynamic Routing

The distinguishing part of this tour is how the destination gets picked. The guides work from local microclimates and live solar activity rather than a favourite lay-by, so the route is decided during the drive and changes when the cloud does. Dynamic routing is the operator's term for it, and it means the darkest, clearest patch of sky wins. The rest of it is about being comfortable while nothing has happened yet. A warm vehicle, a complimentary hot chocolate, and a group of strangers standing in a dark field together, which usually turns into conversation somewhere in the second hour. Nobody in the party has to drive on icy roads in the dark, and on an Icelandic winter night that counts for more than it sounds.
