What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

Iceland Northern Lights Tour Selection Trips

  • Seeing The Northern Lights is very dependent on weather conditions. But on many tours if you do not see any lights, your guide will take you out the following night, complimentary. Plan your Northern Lights excursion earlier in your visit, so that you will have back up days should you not see them the first night.
  • The Northern Lights are a mecca for photography enthusiasts wanting to get those iconic shots. Be sure to use a tripod and research your cameras best night settings to capture a clean picture.
  • The best opportunities to see the lights are clear, dark skies - usually in fall or early spring. Summer skies are too bright for viewing, and cloudy, snowy skies can prevent viewing.
  • Avoid scheduling your aurora borealis tour when the moon is full, for the darkest skies. And be sure to get away from city lights. Peak viewing time is generally around midnight.
  • The surest time to see the lights is usually between September & October, or March & April though they are at their most vibrant in winter it’s far more likely you’ll miss them due to cloud cover.
  • Typically tours to see the lights departs around 8/9pm, returning around midnight. Be sure to dress warmly!
