Overview

Description provided by EastWest. “We” and “our” in the text below refer to the operator.

Join us to experience the magical Aurora Borealis. We offer a private tour with no more than 19 participants.

Words can hardly capture the magic of the Northern Lights—it’s a moment you’ll want to savor, enjoy, and remember for years to come.

With that in mind, we’ve designed our Northern Lights tour to focus entirely on the experience. Our adventure begins with careful planning, using the latest Aurora forecasts to choose the most promising route. Your guide then takes you comfortably toward the best possible viewing location.

When the elusive lights appear, we pause, wrap you in a cozy Icelandic wool blanket, and let you soak in the incredible display overhead. At this perfect moment, enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate and traditional Icelandic kleina pastries. We’ll also take photos of you with the Northern Lights included in the tour price, so you can treasure the memory long after the night ends.

Could there be a better moment? Here’s how it works:

Each day, we closely monitor the Aurora forecast. Favorable conditions require at least light to moderate activity, cold weather, and a clear sky. When conditions are promising, we announce the decision on our website to confirm the tour.

Even with the best guides and careful forecasting, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Only the regular version of this tour offers free rebookings. No-charge rebooking is not available for other tour versions.

Restroom facilities outside urban areas are very limited on Northern Lights tours.

If the Northern Lights do not appear, no photos will be taken.
