About this activity

Combine Iceland's most iconic geothermal experience with a guided hunt for the Northern Lights in a single 6.5-hour adventure. Soak in Sky Lagoon's oceanside hot pools with panoramic Atlantic views, then venture into the darkness with expert guides who choose viewing locations nightly based on aurora forecasts and light pollution.

Start your journey at the latest amazing Geothermal Spa in Iceland.

Immerse yourself in warmth at the oceanside geothermal lagoon. The dramatic North Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you. Above, glowing sunsets and stormy skies dazzle, and sometimes the dancing Northern Lights put on a stunning all-natural show. Sky Lagoon is about that Icelandic feeling of warmth and wonder. Join us for rejuvenation and inspiration at the edge of the world.

After the unique bath, we will take you back to Reykjavík where you will have free time before you go to see the glory of the northern lights in Iceland! A truly unforgettable experience!

Our tour takes you to see a spectacular phenomenon which can be seen from late August to mid-April. The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole.

But where do we take you?

Our experts decide where the best location is each night, so the exact route is not known in advance. One of the most important factors is that we go away from the city lights. Based on the weather and aurora forecast, we decide if it is worth going at all. If yes, our experts decide on the best place to go.

Highlights

  • ✓Experience Iceland's signature blend of geothermal warmth and Arctic skies

Insider tips

  • ★Northern Lights visibility is never guaranteed; the tour operates only when conditions favour sightings, so flexibility matters more than expectation
  • ★Sky Lagoon's outdoor infinity pool blends seamlessly with the ocean horizon — arrive early or stay late to avoid crowds and maximise photo opportunities
  • ★Bring a waterproof camera or phone case; the contrast between warm lagoon steam and freezing night air creates stunning aurora reflections
  • ★Dress in waterproof layers for the evening hunt; you'll transition from warm spa to sub-zero temperatures, and stationary viewing requires serious insulation

Good to know

  • •Swimsuit and towel required; Sky Lagoon provides facilities but bring your own if preferred
  • •Tour operates late August through mid-April (peak aurora season); winter months (December–February) offer longest dark hours but unpredictable weather
  • •Meeting point and exact Northern Lights viewing location are confirmed on the day based on forecasts; guides communicate changes via email or phone
  • •Accessibility: Sky Lagoon has accessible changing facilities; confirm with supplier regarding transport and viewing site terrain
  • •Free time in Reykjavík between spa and evening excursion allows meals or exploration

Who it's for

First-time Iceland visitors seeking both wellness and natural phenomena in one tourAurora enthusiasts who want professional guidance and real-time forecast adaptationCouples and small groups looking for romantic or memorable experiencesPhotographers chasing Northern Lights and geothermal landscape combinations

Best time to visit

Late August through mid-April is required for Northern Lights activity. Winter months (December–February) offer the longest dark hours but face unpredictable Icelandic weather; autumn and early spring (September–October, March–April) balance reasonable visibility windows with more stable conditions. Aurora displays intensify during geomagnetic storms, which forecasters predict 24–48 hours in advance.
