Will I see stars along with the Northern Lights on the Reykjavik Lights Tour?

Yes at times of stargazing the Reykjavik Lights Tour  Premium Tour Package does better. In Iceland's remote areas you’ll find some of the darkest skies in Europe which is free of city light pollution. On very clear nights we see the aurora as well as very pretty views of the stars, planets and at times the Milky Way.

While the Northern Lights the primary draw the stars which frame the sky in a beautiful setting also put on a show. In the winter time you may see Orion or the Big Dipper and in the summer the planets like Venus, Mars, and Jupiter put on a display. Also we see shooting stars and meteor showers which add to the magic of the night.

Your personal guide will choose locations which are away from city lights to better see the stars. Also some guides which is which also include myself point out which constellations are which or we tell stories of the Norse myths as they relate to what we see in the sky. For those into photography we do long exposure shots of the aurora with the stars which turn out amazing results.

As we know weather is a great factor  at times cloud cover will hide both stars and the Northern Lights. But on those rare winter nights which are very crisp and clear the aurora and star filled sky put on a truly unforgettable show.
