Northern Lights with Iceland by Guide
Chase the Northern Lights
with a local guide.
My name is Bijo. I offer a small number of private Northern Lights evenings during the Icelandic winter. I personally monitor the conditions and make the go / no-go decision — because if I don't think the evening is worth going, I would rather tell you that.
Choose your evening
Three ways to experience the Northern Lights.
These are not different levels of service. They are simply three different ways to spend your evening. Every option is private, flexible and personally hosted by me.
Private Northern Lights Hunt
I pick you up from your hotel and we head away from the city lights. I monitor the cloud cover, weather, road conditions and aurora activity and choose our direction based on the conditions that evening.
Geothermal
Aurora
Geothermal + Aurora
I pick you up from your hotel and we head to either Hvammsvík or Sky Lagoon — we choose together.
Take your time enjoying the geothermal water. Afterwards we continue into the Icelandic evening and search for the Northern Lights when the conditions make sense.
Wine
Dinner
Aurora
Dinner with a Local Guide + Aurora
I pick you up and we choose somewhere to eat together — somewhere I would genuinely recommend.
Over dinner we get to know each other and talk about Iceland, your trip and what you have experienced so far.
Afterwards I take you back to your hotel so you can change into warm clothing. Then we head out together for the Northern Lights.
My approach
I don't go out simply because the calendar says we have a tour.
A Northern Lights tour takes up a large part of your evening and often affects the following morning as well.
If I believe the outlook is poor, I would rather tell you to have a good dinner, enjoy Reykjavík and try another evening.
I personally assess the cloud cover, weather, road conditions and aurora activity before departure. When I think the opportunity justifies going, we go.
If we go out and do not see the Northern Lights, one aurora-only second attempt is included, subject to suitable conditions, availability and your remaining time in Iceland.
Driving yourself?
Aurora Guide on Call.
You already have the car. What you may need is local judgment about whether tonight is worth going — and which direction gives you the best realistic chance.
Tell me where you're staying and what vehicle you have. I assess the latest conditions and give you a practical plan for the evening.
When Iceland erupts
An eruption changes the plan.
If an eruption is active while you are in Iceland, contact me. If official access is open and the conditions make sense, we can look at the possibilities and go there together.
And if the Northern Lights happen to join us, even better.
Access always depends on official restrictions, gas conditions, weather, roads and safety. This is never something I promise in advance — contact me and we assess the situation.
