How do professional aurora tracking tours in Iceland increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights?
Many travelers to Iceland question whether or which of the Northern Lights they will see is a matter of luck. While luck does play a role, at Enjoy Iceland Tours we have professional aurora tracking which greatly improve your chances. Here’s how.
Expert Guides with Real-Time Tracking
Our expert guides don't have set itineraries — instead they:
Watch live aurora forecasts
Track cloud cover maps
Follow solar activity reports
From years of experience they know which areas see the skies clear up first and what remote locations have the least light pollution.
We use that info to get you to the best views of the aurora which is usually very far from the tourist hot spots.
Tailored Experience vs. One-Size Tours
Unlike most tour packages which are a one size fits all, we have vehicles that are winterized for Iceland’s roads — which means we can change plans on the fly for safety.
Many that go on the big bus tours miss out because the itineraries are set in stone.
With us you get a tailored experience run by the experts.

We go into:
How solar winds play in with Earth’s atmosphere
