Highlights

The elders say that the harsher the night’s frost, the more intense the colors will be. Swirling and swaying overhead, displays are usually greenish-yellow but white, red, and pink lights can also appear.

You will be picked up at your hotel at 8pm or 9pm (depending on the season) and taken out of Reykjavik right away. The direction and the next stop will always depend on the weather and the ‘aurora forecast’. You will be taken to the viewing locations where you are most likely to spot the northern lights. All effort will be made to take photos of you with the northern lights in the background, at no extra charge.

The private northern lights superjeep hunt is dependent on the weather and sky conditions, and the right is reserved to cancel at any time. If the evening tour goes ahead and the northern lights are not seen, you will be offered to try once again for free! If there is a need to cancel all your nights due to bad weather, you will get a full refund.

Make sure you book your northern lights in Iceland tour for your first night in town in order to maximize your chances of sightings.

You will return to your Reykjavík hotel around 12am or 1am.

Breathtaking display of dancing lights - Our driver Oli was so friendly and despite activity for the lights being moderate on the forecast he found them pretty quickly. The area we were watching soon became full of other tourists so he moved to his favourite spot, pretty remote and absolutely freezing. We’d been waiting in -15 for some time, I was ready to go back but he had a feeling, oh my, the 20 minute light show and dancing of the northern lights right above us we experienced was breathtaking, something we could never have witnessed without our brilliant guides experience. Oh and the hot chocolate with added vodka made the cold that little bit easier! Fabulous guide, loved it!

Awesome! Well worth it! - Went out hunting with Ants. He was absolutely fabulous. Fun, interesting stories, and worked hard to help us see the lights. In the end, we only could see them well via a camera shot, but of course there are no guarantees! But even so, we would highly, highly recommend. Comfortable ride, and the tremendous beauty of the clear starry sky, shooting stars and the “haze” of the NLs ( looked a bit like the Milky Way) was well worth it. Thanks Ants!

Family Fun hunting for Northern Lights - Our family of four with a 10-&13-year-old had a great time seeing the Northern Lights with Superjeep.is. The four of us were in a jeep with our guide Oli who picked us up at our hotel in Reykjavik and we later met up and caravanned with other Superjeeps to find a nice spot with clear skies and low wind to wait for the Northern Lights to show themselves. The show is way more spectacular through the camera lens, but we still have some fabulous photos (provided by Superjeep) and experience of a lifetime. They keep the jeeps warm and cozy so you can jump in and out to warm up.

Great way to hunt for the lights - We took this tour as a private group with the jeep all to ourselves (6 of us), weather wise it wan't the best evening but the advantage of the jeep (and the fact that the company have several jeeps out on the road, with radio communications) is that once on jeep has found them, they can guide in the others so we were lucky enough to see the lights on a cloudy evening, this was especially good as it was close to the start of the season, approaching solar minimum so some of the odds were against us. Katie was a fab driver (although speed bumps, in the back row of a superjeep leaving the city feel much more like an off-road experience). The free photos after the event are an added bonus, and although there was a slight problem with access the correct folder of photos, the company were very responsive to emails to finally get the correct link sent to us, so we could see the photos of the members of our jeep. The chocolate and vodka was fab. There is always a risk the lights won't play ball, but I could not fault Superjeeps efforts to get us to them

Northern lights dream come true! - I have been on super jeeps northern lights tour twice once in 2016 and then again this past march and they are just incredible. The guides are funny, knowledgeable, and want you to have the best time! You caravan with a few other jeeps around Iceland trying to find the lights. Both times I went on this tour, we found them! I absolutely recommend this tour and company!

Experienced, Professional Team Chasing The Lights: The Experts. - Friendly drivers pick up at your hotel in these massive jeeps, small groups, and begin chasing the lights! Great communication among various jeeps around the region to locate the perfect spot for the lights. We lucked out and enjoyed the lights our first night (but they could cover a second try at no additional cost). After the beautiful show from the skies, the jeep team say good by with warm chocolate and the best Reyka vodka! All adds up to perfection in the north!

Disappointing and expensive!! - Our driver and guide did as much as he could to hunt down the Northern lights but it was never going to happen. Our experience was cancelled the evening before. I felt thd cost of the excursion on reflection was far too expensive in light of the experience we had and no lights were seen. Disappointed obviously but the experience is far too expensive.
