Northern Lights in Iceland

Hi there,

We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights. We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?

We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!

Thanks so much for your advice!

Best regards,

marc

Hi there,

For me, the best way to see the northern lights is on a cruise. No light pollution (from cities), the boat can move around to find them, and on top of that, you’ll get to do a full tour of Iceland and see everything, including marine animals!

Late March is really pushing it, though—it all depends on the weather conditions, and no one can guarantee that!

Thanks for your reply. We’ve got 2 boat trips planned during this stay! Hope we’ll be dazzled...🙂
