About this experience

This private luxury evening jeep tour is perfect if you want to experience something special during your visit to Iceland: bathe in a geothermal pool, taste delicious Icelandic cuisine, and chase the Northern Lights.

We pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik with our luxury jeep and drive to one of the oldest natural pools in Iceland, the Secret Lagoon. Less crowded than the Blue Lagoon, the Secret Lagoon offers a more private experience. The pool is owned by an Icelandic family that, over the years, has made it the popular and unique destination it is today.

After a relaxing bath, our luxury tour continues with a nice dinner in a restaurant serving local Icelandic food. If you think traditional Icelandic is just rotten shark and dried fish, you will think again after a great culinary experience in the charming Icelandic countryside. If you have any special dietary restrictions, make sure to let us know at the time of booking.

Relaxed and well-fed, we go back to our luxury 4x4 jeep and start chasing Northern Lights away from the city lights pollution.

You will learn more about this natural phenomenon that can be seen in Iceland during the winter (September-March) as you stare at the skies waiting for the lights to start dancing. Seeing the Northern Lights will be one of the best experiences in your life. It is, however, good to keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, very hard to predict and never guaranteed. The Northern Lights depend on several factors, such as cloud coverage, solar activity, and general weather conditions. We consider all these factors and do our best to find the perfect places to offer you the best chances to see the Northern Lights, but we can never guarantee it.

What we can guarantee is that we will chase the Northern Lights in all comfort, from the warm seats of our luxury 4x4 jeep.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a solid cloud forecast — most operators call it by late afternoon and let you rebook on a clearer night free of charge. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

1Iceland Premium Tours decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Who this is not for

Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Not available in summer; the operator runs it roughly September to April.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

We had the best experience with Örvar at Iceland Premium Tours! We booked 2 private tours over 2 days - the Golden Circle and South Island. We got to see and experience some extra things that we wouldn't have if we had taken a large bus tour, We were also able to tailor the tours to our own preferences. It was the best decision we could have made! Not only did we see some of the most incredible sights of Iceland we also learnt so much about the history and culture of Icelandic people. Örvar made us comfortable and welcome from the first moment. We would recommend Iceland Premium Tours to anyone visiting Iceland, in fact we are planning our next trip back and will be contacting them for the Iceland Ring Road tour in the summer.

Amazing time. We spent the day seeing beautiful sights while getting to know a great man. It was a pleasure riding through the countryside with you Örvar. Thanks for the great views and conversation.

We booked a private group tour for 10 adults for 5 days through Firebird Tours and they chose Iceland Premium Tours to take us to all the adventures we had planned. Gummi picked us up at the airport and took us around Reykjavik and the surrounding towns that first day and on a Golden Circle tour the following day, sharing history and answering questions along the way. Orvar, Gummi's brother and owner of the company, took us around the island the remainder of our trip. He also shared helpful Icelandic history and tales and even suggested some changes due to the weather. One suggestion was that we visit the Seljalandsfoss waterfall on our way back to our hotel instead of before a scheduled ice cave tour so we wouldn't be late due to the road conditions. The waterfall was amazing under the stars, and we had the place all to ourselves - this was much better than it would have been earlier in the day with the snow for sure! The brothers each made sure to ask if we needed food or water, or to use the facilities whenever the opportunity arose during our drives. They obviously care about the company and the people they share their country with. If we go back, we'll request Iceland Premium Tours!

What an absolutely wonderful day we had with Örvar ! We had a private tour and I can’t imagine a better guide to beautiful Iceland. Not only were the destinations breathtaking - but the history, stories and conversation were what really made the day special. Örvar and his family truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait to return and reconnect.

Northern lights — questions people ask

When is the best time to see the northern lights in Iceland?

September to April, when the nights are dark enough. Within that, late September to March gives the longest dark hours, and the equinox months, September and March, often have active skies. There are no lights in June or July; the sky never gets dark. Anyone selling you a June lights tour is selling you a bus ride. Give yourself at least three nights, because clouds, not the aurora, are the usual reason people miss them.

Are the northern lights guaranteed on a tour?

No. Nobody can promise them, and we will not. Two things have to line up: a clear sky and solar activity. Guides check the cloud forecast at vedur.is and drive to gaps, which is the real value of a tour over standing outside your hotel. What most operators do promise is a free second attempt if the lights do not show. Check the exact retry policy on the tour page, because the number of retries and the validity period vary.

Is a northern lights bus tour or a boat tour better?

Bus, if you want the best odds. A minibus can drive an hour inland to find a clear patch; a boat stays in Faxaflói and sees whatever sky is over Reykjavík. Boats are shorter, about two hours, and pleasant with hot chocolate, and Reykjavik Sailors' cruise (/experience/6637/) includes a free retry. For a serious hunt, a small-group minibus like BusTravel's (/experience/150646/) or a 4x4 tour (/experience/1088067/) is the better bet.

Can I see the northern lights from Reykjavík itself?

Yes, on strong nights. The city is small and the sky over the sea to the north is fairly dark. Grótta lighthouse at the western tip and the Ægisíða shoreline are the usual spots, twenty minutes' walk from the centre. On average nights the street lights drown out a faint aurora, which is why tours drive out. If the forecast shows high activity and clear sky, walk to Grótta first and save the tour money.
