northern lights chase

We begin our chase by departing from Reykjavík at a scheduled time and drive out of the city to escape the light pollution. Darkness and clear skies are essential conditions in order to see the Northern Lights and we use our experience as well as several weather forecasts to determine the best location each night. While we are searching for the lights, our knowledgeable guides will enlighten you on facts about the Northern Lights and tell you a few tales of their choosing. A decision is made daily at 17:00 hours as to whether the tour will take place or not. Please visit www.thuletravel.is, ask your hotel reception assistant, booking service or call us at Thule Travel for more information. If Mother Nature does not deliver the Northern Lights you will be offered to take another tour with us, free of charge. It is however, important to re-book your new free tour as soon as possible which you can do by calling us or sending us an e-mail.
