How does it work?

  • You will drive your car.

  • You will follow the live location link and know the location of our Hunter. You will have at least 200 meters from the Hunter and his clients, as he will have his own car and group. After the Hunter has found a suitable location, he will pin some possible parking in the area. You are welcome to find your spot in that general area but never park on the side of a main road.
  • If my regular tour is not operated- you will receive live updates and a location fit for viewing with pinned parking.
  • You will see what our Hunter sees - and be in a location where the lights will be seen-
  • You can stay longer or get home earlier just as you feel like, as you are not bound to other travelers.
  • Search area we drive out from Reykjavik - sometimes just out of the city and sometimes up to 1.5 hours each way from Reykjavik, depending on night conditions.
  • If you are away from Reykjavik or the regular tour of the Hunter is not on- worry not, as the Google pins and information will be sent to the group- with expert cloud cover knowledge based on eight different cloud cover forecasts with satellite image examination and space weather information that is more accurate than any app or other predictions- From possibly the best northern lights expert in Iceland.

What are the benefits?

  • You will have the best chance of seeing the northern lights, as our Hunter will use his experience and knowledge to find the optimal locations and times for viewing the aurora borealis.
  • You will have the flexibility and independence of driving your car.
