Our story
We live here.
We know the sky.
Northern Lights Tours was founded by Icelandic locals who were tired of seeing visitors miss the aurora because of overcrowded bus tours and bad planning. We built the kind of tour company we'd want to book ourselves.

What we stand for
Our values
Local first
Every guide is Icelandic. We know this land — its weather, its hidden spots, its moods.
Small groups
We cap group sizes to ensure you get a personal, high-quality experience — not a bus tour.
Quality over quantity
We don't operate every tour possible. We operate the tours we can do exceptionally well.
Responsible tourism
We follow Leave No Trace principles and support Icelandic nature conservation efforts.
