The solar activity that produces northern lights has been very active this winter so it&#8217;s the perfect time to go. The areas around Akureyri are some of the best places to see the aurora. Your tour will take you out of the city, away from residential light pollution, for the clearest view of the night sky. You may even get to see the Milky Way if you&#8217;re lucky. Based on the predictions, the guides will choose which direction to go from Akureyri for the best possibility of seeing the awe-inspiring northern lights. It might be a long night, so Kleina, an Icelandic twisted donut, and hot chocolate are provided to keep up your energy and help you stay warm. Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions and bring your camera. Your guide will give you tips and pointers for spotting the northern lights as sometimes they start very faintly. You can opt for pickup from your hotel, or you can meet the tour guide with the van at the meeting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escape the city&#8217;s light pollution and spend a night hunting for the elusive and beautiful northern lights near Akureyri.
