Akureyri is a vibrant town in northern Iceland. As the second-largest urban area in Iceland outside Reykjavik, Akureyri is often referred to as the 'Capital of the North.' Akureyri is also a prime location for spotting the incredible Northern Lights!

The minibus Northern Lights chase from Akureyri begins at the starting point in town (pick-up from your accommodation is also available, please specify when booking). You'll board the comfortable minibus and set off on your hunting adventure! The expert guide is a professional aurora tracker, and they will spend the day analysing the weather forecast to find the best spot for witnessing the natural phenomenon.

As you drive into the mesmerising wilderness surrounding Akureyri, the Arctic night sky will start to come alive! This area is home to beautiful natural landscapes, with forests, mountains and fjords. Upon arrival at the prime viewing location, you'll exit the vehicle to admire the breathtaking sky. If you're lucky, the awe-inspiring dance of the Aurora Borealis will appear! You'll capture some photos while the guide shares insights about the Northern Lights in Iceland. Then, you'll return to the original starting point in Akureyri.
