Reykjavík Small Group Northern Lights Hunt with Local Hunters, Max 16

Sixteen guests is the ceiling. That keeps the minibus warm without being crowded, and keeps the guide talking to the group rather than announcing at it. Complimentary hot chocolate or water comes with the drive out. Where the tour stops is not fixed in advance. The guide tracks the aurora forecast in real time and picks the spot from what the sky is doing that night, which is the difference between finding the lights and arriving where they were an hour ago. The countryside outside Reykjavík is quiet and properly dark once the city glow is behind you. Every traveller goes home with a small Icelandic surprise. The operator does not say in advance what it is.
