What happens if it rains or snows heavily during the tour?
Iceland’s climate is known to be very changeable which at time sees heavy rain and snow which in turn affects Northern Lights tours. Should severe weather make travel unsafe the Reykjavik Lights Tour Private SUV Package will be moved to another night. Operators pay close attention to the weather reports and road conditions which they use to guarantee safety at all times.
In heavy rain visibility drops which in turn makes for poor aurora viewing. As for snowfall, it doesn’t always put a stop to it we see periods of clear sky in Iceland. The benefit of a private SUV is that you can change your route at a moment's notice, going where the aurora activity is still playing out.
If the conditions are not right to go ahead we see most operators put in reschedule options for you which will be at the same time of the next available date within your travel period. Should rescheduling not be an option because of time issues some companies may still issue partial or full refunds as per their own policies
During poor weather conditions our guide will see to it that the SUV is heated and made safe for when we wait out the storm. Also put on your winter best as we may have to step out for short periods.
Bad weather which at times results in cancellations does for many not break up the Icelandic experience. In fact many travelers report that what they get out of it is a charge out of the experience from the stormy drives which at time turn into an adventure of their own and which see the weather change dramatically by the late evening. Also the private SUV we use for transport offers a flexible and safe option as compared to set group tours.
