About this activity

Explore Iceland's dramatic south coast over three days—waterfalls, black sand beaches, glaciers, and lagoons—while chasing the Northern Lights each night with an expert guide. This private tour combines natural wonders with aurora hunting, offering a complete Icelandic winter experience tailored to your pace.

A three day northern lights adventure along the south part of Iceland. We will visit waterfalls, black beaches, glaciers and amazing glacier lagoons. Each night we will hunt for the Northern Lights with a very knowledgeable guide. One of the myths explained that the lights tell stories about animals and nature. Some spoke of the aurora appearing when whales were playing games, while the Danes believed the lights were caused by swans competing to see who could fly further north. According to legend, some of the swans became trapped in the ice and as they tried to escape, they flapped their wings creating flurries of light in the sky.
