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.

The Science Behind Aurora Tracking

Professional aurora tracking also has an educational element.

We go into:

  • How solar winds play in with Earth’s atmosphere

  • What you need to know to read the forecasts

  • The science behind the aurora action

Photography Support

And also we present you with professional photography support.

  • Our guides will set your camera for that perfect shot

  • In some cases we will take the photos ourselves using our specialized equipment

That way you go home with not just stories but with visual proof of your magical night.
