Private Super-Jeep Northern Lights Chase
A private four-hour pursuit of Iceland's most iconic natural phenomenon across volcanic landscapes and mountain roads.
Few natural events rival the spectacle of the Aurora Borealis in Iceland, and this private Super-Jeep tour is designed around giving you the best possible chance of witnessing it. Your experienced driver navigates beyond city light pollution into the dark Icelandic night, reaching remote vantage points that most tours cannot access.
Hotel pickup removes any logistical stress, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience ahead. As the evening deepens, specially modified Super Jeeps — built for Iceland's rugged and unpredictable terrain — carry your group along mountain roads and into open landscapes where the night sky dominates.
When the aurora appears, the vehicle stops and a professional photographer assists you in capturing the moment. Hot chocolate is provided throughout the tour to keep you comfortable during the chill of an Icelandic night.
Because the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, they cannot be guaranteed on any given night. If weather conditions are unsuitable for safe travel or aurora viewing, the tour will not depart, and a rescheduling to another available night will be arranged.
Tour Highlights
Travel in a specially modified Super Jeep capable of handling Iceland's most challenging mountain roads and off-road terrain.
Convenient hotel and guesthouse pickup means you start the adventure directly from your accommodation in Reykjavik.
A professional photographer accompanies the tour to help you capture high-quality images of the Northern Lights display.
Complimentary hot chocolate is served during the tour to keep guests warm throughout the cold evening hours.
Experienced drivers pursue the aurora across multiple locations, using proven sites where clear skies and displays are most likely.
Safety is the primary concern: if conditions are not suitable, the tour does not depart and is rescheduled at no penalty.
The aurora can display colours ranging from greenish yellow to blue, red, pink, purple, and white — each night is entirely unique.
How the Tour Unfolds
Your driver arrives at your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavik at the scheduled departure time. No need to find a meeting point — the tour begins at your door.
The Super Jeep moves away from Reykjavik's light pollution and into the darker landscapes surrounding the capital. The driver monitors aurora forecasts in real time.
The route adapts to current conditions, with the driver navigating mountain roads and remote areas to find the clearest skies and best viewing positions.
When the Northern Lights appear, the vehicle stops at a suitable vantage point. The professional photographer assists guests in capturing the display with their cameras.
During the tour, hot chocolate is served to keep guests comfortable. This is also a good opportunity to take in the surrounding darkness and silence of the Icelandic night.
After approximately four hours, the Super Jeep returns guests to their accommodation in Reykjavik, completing the evening experience.
