Northern Lights Superjeep Tour From Reykjavik

We had an incredibly lucky night while staying in Iceland. Our SuperJeeps tour guide was so enthusiastic and helpful. He took pictures of the couple who went on this evening tour…and we had fantastic views of the northern lights covering almost the entire horizon. It was an unforgettable evening! Worth every cent!

We highly recommend Superjeep for the Northern Lights Tour. Our guide Tobbi was amazing from the moment we met him. He asked where we were from and when we said "Ireland", he put his hand on his heart and said, "We are cousins". He brought us to a spot he clearly knows well facing North. We saw the Aurora after an hour and the show was spectacular and lasted an hour. The hot chocolate was welcome as it was bitter cold but a beautiful star filled night. Tobbi was very helpful to the others in the group helping them set their cameras up to get the most out of the lights. Highly recommend Superjeep to anyone chasing the lights.

Amazing experience. Our first date was cancelled due to weather but we were easily rescheduled for another night. Pick up was exactly as described with no hiccups given we had been rescheduled. First stop we saw the Northern Lights however our guide felt if we moved it would be even better. Turns out it was! Amazing show! The guides were awesome. The experience was one of a kind. Highly recommend going on a smaller tour for this in one of the jeeps!! The hot chocolate was great too!

Nick was so committed to us having the best time! We went to two different locations - he is knowledgable, charismatic and thoughtful!

Guides Who Never Gave Up, Even in Rain and Clouds Seeing the Northern Lights was the main reason I came to Iceland, so I booked four nights of Northern Lights tours with Superjeep.is for October 12–15, from about 8 p.m. to midnight. I’m very glad I did. To see the Northern Lights, you need to get far away from city lights. Each super jeep carried a small group, allowing us to move quickly and explore remote areas that would be difficult to reach with a large bus tour. We drove along winding mountain roads and quiet country roads, traveling far from town and looking for places where the clouds might clear enough to reveal the Northern Lights. What impressed me most was the professionalism and dedication of the guides. Weather forecasts aren’t always accurate, so they didn’t rely on them alone. Several jeeps from the same company were out together, each carrying a small group. The guides communicated with one another, shared observations, and worked together to decide where to go next. I was impressed by how actively they adjusted their plans as conditions changed. Monday was cloudy, and I didn’t see anything. The company gave me a credit, which I used for another tour on Thursday. Tuesday was cloudy and rainy, and it would have been easy to give up. But my guides kept trying. As the clouds shifted, we moved to new locations more than three times, searching for breaks in the clouds where the Northern Lights might become visible. Finally, a green band of Northern Lights appeared through the clouds. It was the only night I managed to see them, and I was so grateful that the guides hadn’t given up. Wednesday’s tour was canceled because of the weather. Superjeep.is notified me in advance, and my refund was processed within two days. I went out again on Thursday, but unfortunately, the sky didn’t cooperate, and I didn’t see the lights. Of course, no company can guarantee that you’ll see the Northern Lights. That is entirely up to nature, and there is only so much anyone can do. But I truly believe that without my guides’ persistence and hard work on Tuesday night, I might have returned home without seeing them at all. I’m grateful for their dedication and would recommend Superjeep.is to anyone hoping to see the Northern Lights in Iceland.

Great trip! Loved our guide Keli. Was very dedicated to making sure we had a great time and an amazing view of the lights. Very knowledgeable and engaging about the history and culture of Iceland. Took many excellent photos of us under the lights, and was efficient in getting us the photos the next day. Highly recommend.

We took private 10 seat super jeep northern lights tour with Birgir. We travelled with 3 little ones and my elderly mother. Birgir went above and beyond assisting us with car seats, ensuring everyone could get in and out of the car safely, and making everyone as comfortable as possible with his hot chocolate, entertaining Icelandic stories and history, and parking the jeep to minimize the intense winds. He was patient and knowledgeable, and we got an amazing lights show. As someone who is not easily impressed, this tour gets 10/10 hands down! Thank you super jeep and Birgir!

An Unforgettable Night Hunting the Aurora: Superjeep.is If you are traveling to Iceland and want to see the Northern Lights during a winter trip, booking a Northern Lights Superjeep Tour from Reykjavik by Superjeep.is is, without a doubt, the best decision you can make! We just returned from a magical 4-hour excursion (roughly 9:00 PM – 1:30 AM) and cannot say enough good things about the experience. It is worth every single króna of the price, which, based on 3/2026 rates, is roughly $230 USD per adult. Flexible Pick Up & Professional Service The convenience started right at the beginning. They offer flexible, prompt pick up directly from hotels or designated bus stops in Reykjavik (Bus Stop 1 or Cathedral) around 21:00–21:30, ensuring a stress-free start to the late-night hunt. Unlike the huge tour buses that are restricted to main roads, the Superjeep is a beast—specially modified with massive tires that allow you to go off-road into the remote wilderness, far away from light pollution. Patient & Expert Guides Our guide Chrissie was an absolute legend—patient, knowledgeable, Icelandic humor and genuinely committed to finding the very best viewing spot. Even when the lights were faint, he didn't just give up. He tracked the cloud coverage and moved us to multiple locations until the sky cleared always in contact with other 'hunters". They knew exactly where to go, passing all the crowded, standard bus stops to get us to a private, pitch-black area. Drinking Warm Chocolate Under the Stars While waiting for the aurora, the atmosphere was incredible. The guide set up a tripod for professional photos of us with the lights. To keep us warm against the biting Icelandic winter cold and wind, they served steaming, delicious warm chocolate—and yes, it was the perfect touch, especially when offered with a little splash of vodka to warm your soul!. Seeing the Aurora Borealis Seeing the Northern Lights dance across the sky was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks to the expertise of the Superjeep guide, we saw the Aurora swirl in vibrant colors. If you are looking for an intimate, thrilling, and successful Aurora hunt, skip the big buses and go with Superjeep.is. It is a premium, high-quality experience that we will never forget! Highlights: Price: ~230+ USD (as of 3/2026, often includes free re-booking if lights aren't seen) Time: ca. 4 hour evening adventure (typically starts around 21:00pm) Pick-up: Flexible hotel/stop pickup Atmosphere: Small, intimate groups, patient guides, and amazing off-roading

We were lucky enough to see the lights after racing to at least 3 different locations outside Reykjavik. The guide had a decent camera and tripod in order to take photos of us with the lights in the background and gave us a link to be able to download his photos. He was helpful in showing us the best settings to use on our phone cameras as well. A thoughtful touch was a cup of hot chocolate with vodka to keep us warm at midnight.

Seeing the Northern Lights is a once in a lifetime experience. If the conditions are right, Reykjavik is a good place to go and engage the right people to help find them for you. This outfit is first rate and well worth hiring. They were determined to find cloud openings and give our small group a first class experience. And they did it with humor and fun as we chased around the countryside for the best place that night to see the Lights. Once there, they took great fotos for us and let us linger until we were all satisfied. I highly recommend this company.

Very well organised, very good trip, no complaints, we also saw a most fantastic display of Northern Lights

Kelly took us out on our first night in Iceland for the Northern Lights Tour and we had the best experience to kick off our trip. He picked us up from our hotel, immediately pointed out the northern lights in the sky (!!!!) and raced us off for a better view. His excitement throughout the night was half the fun. We were lucky to have an INCREDIBLE light show that night. Kelly taught us so much about the lights, how to get great photos, snapped every photo we could image, and genuinely had a great time learning about Iceland and being a local. We left with so much knowledge which made the rest of our trip even better and prepped us to correctly view the lights which we saw every night for the remainder of our trip. I cannot recommend Superjeep and specifically Kelly enough. He really made the start of our trip everything and more. We will use him again on our next trip!

Super cool experience! Saw a beautiful aurora on the second attempt. Despite clear conditions on the first night, it didn’t appear when we were out there but viewing the night sky was an experience in itself. Being in the Superjeep felt like a night safari…hunting for the northern lights.

I was very disappointed with this experience. I booked a three-night trip to Iceland to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday and, in advance, booked and paid in full for three tours during our stay, including this one. I deliberately scheduled the tour for our first night in case it needed to be cancelled due to adverse weather or other circumstances beyond our control. Unfortunately, we received a notification only four hours before the scheduled start time on the first night informing us that the tour would not operate due to bad weather. Although disappointed, I rescheduled the tour for our second night. However, on the afternoon of that day, we received a similar message advising that the tour was again cancelled due to poor weather conditions. When I attempted to reschedule for our third and final night, I was informed that the tour was fully booked and that no availability remained. I therefore initiated the refund process with the tour operator. I was surprised to receive a response stating that it had been noted that we wished to reschedule for the third night, but that the tour was fully booked for both our second and third nights and that efforts were being made to recruit additional vehicles and drivers. This raised concerns as to whether the cancellations were due to overbooking rather than weather conditions, which I feel would be unfair. Overall, this was a very disappointing outcome. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us and potentially our only opportunity to see the Northern Lights, which we had been greatly looking forward to. On a positive note, I would like to acknowledge and thank the tour operator for processing the refund promptly.

We had an amazing experience with the private Northern Lights tour. Our guide showed up promptly at our hotel with a great vehicle and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The lights appeared and the experience was everything we had hoped for and more. This is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed!

My sister and I went on this tour. Excellent from start to finish. The first trip failed due to cloud cover. They immediately booked us on the next trip which we saw the northern lights for free. The communication was second to none as were the guides. The photos taken by them were Available for free and sent the next morning . Very Highly recommended.

Thomas was our driver ,he was fantastic full of knowledge about the northern lights . Fabulous photos where taken by Thomas and you can download your own copy's. Brilliant service and had a fabulous time

Very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Will recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you for a great experience.

We had a wonderful experience with Superjeep and our tour guide, Kata. She was determined to make sure we saw the Northern Lights and kept us entertained with stories about Iceland throughout the night. She was incredibly hospitable and even served us hot chocolate with vodka to make the experience extra special. Just when we were about to call it a night after three hours of waiting in the wilderness, she didn’t lose hope. Instead of heading straight back because we already needed a bathroom break, she brought us to a gas station—and true enough, the lights appeared right after. It was absolutely amazing and spectacular. Highly recommended.

I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. We thought it was going to get cancelled because it was raining in Reykjavik but it didn't. I was highly doubtful I would see any northern lights. WRONG! We drove outside of the city and went to several locations chasing the northern lights and we were very successful. The tour guides took pics of us with their camera and shared the photos. Before heading back to Reykjavik, we enjoyed hot cocoa under the stars. It was our tour guide, Thomas' first tour of this kind and he was phenomenal. The only downfall was my husband left his new hat in the jeep... so double check you have everything before exiting the vehicle.

We drove for over two hours each way to get away from the clouds to see some very nice Aurora. The jeep is very comfortable and I felt safe, despite very snowing conditions on the inland roads. I did need rebook, as my initial booking was cancelled due to weather, and that was a simple process - make sure you have time to allow this sort of rescheduling if you can.

Very knowledgeable Driver not just about the Northern Lights but about Iceland in general. We were extremely lucky to catch the Northern Lights on our first night out and Hot Chocolate and Vodka was a fab way to celebrate

The most amazing experience we’ve ever done! The jeep was booked as a surprise for my four children after our original tour operator cancelled hours before we were due to go. This company were happy to take our booking at the last minute and collect from a hotel that wasn’t listed. The moment the jeep pulled up our children were bouncing with excitement because it’s so impressive to see. It is even better to ride in! Off-roading under the northern lights; what’s not to love?! Our guide, Chrissy, was so friendly and patient. He went above and beyond to entertain our four young children, who were cold and tired whilst waiting to see the Northern Lights. We were so lucky to see the lights really quickly, but upon our return to our hotel, the lights presented more vividly and he rushed us back to the city outskirts to see them again in all their glory! The hot chocolates under the lights were a treat our children loved, but with the revelation of adding some vodka it was equally as enjoyed by us adults! The professional photos taken by the guide were high in number and quality; it meant we were lucky enough to have lots of photos as a family and as a couple too (a rarity when travelling as a family!). We could not have hoped for a better trip and it was worth every penny we spent on it! If there’s one trip you are going to splurge on, make sure it’s this one!!

Excellent evening for the lights! Great tour with plenty of photos in a great, dark spot! Professional, knowledgeable and fun.

We were skeptical of this company, because doing an Internet search won't find you the best company for something, just the company that is best at search engine optimization, and the local for-profit tourist information office will steer tourists to the best-paying companies. But, we figured we had limited information, so worst case we'd get suckered out of a lot of money. While we were waiting for our jeep to pick us up at Bus Stop #6, I noticed some thing in the sky - despite the city lights - and took a long exposure picture. There it was - prominent green Northern Lights, before our jeep arrived. Maybe we didn't need to jeep trip at all... Well, once we were in the jeep and barrelled over mountain roads, we got to a dark spot off road and got out to look. Our jeep was in a convoy with two others - ours was the smallest of the three. The Northern Lights were much more visible than in the city. They came and went. It was very cold and I got some good pictures, on my phone and my digital camera. After around 45 minutes, we packed up and I was satisfied, even though the trip was quite expensive. I thought we were returning, but we were only starting. We got to the edge of a lake, with no lights around, and got much more of a light show! Greens, purples, reds, visible without cameras - and even move vivid on the camera shots. We stayed there for about an hour and then headed back. On the way back, the leader of the convoy determined that a solar storm was coming and found a place to pull over off road. We all got out to an even more impressive light show, with bands of lights dancing across the sky. Granted, it was a clear night and the rating (a 3) was nature's doing. But Superjeep's monitoring of the situation and knowing where and when to pull over is something we couldn't do ourselves. Being able to go off-road a little helped get to good viewing spots. And our driver, Eric, was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and professional.

I have used Superjeep.is before for trips and they are a very experienced and wonderful company with some really amazing off-road vehicles. The Northern Lights tour is especially geared for this during the aurora season (September to April). As part of the way to see the Northern Lights is to go away from the light pollution of Reykjavik city, the 4WD vehicles enable you to go further off-track to areas of pure darkness. Our clearly Viking-descended driver, Keille (sp?) was wonderful, doing the hotel pickups/drop offs, explaining everything and of course handling the vehicle like the pro he is. You can trust the superjeep drivers to do their very best to get you to see the Northern Lights (to the point of multiple drivers communicating with each other on radio about where the best sightings are), whilst appreciating that even they cannot guarantee it! Only slight negative apart from this unpredictability is out of their control - by the very nature of when you need to go, it will be very cold, especially with wind-chill taken into account. Do take multiple layers, a good waterproof outer layer coat, hiking boots (uneven ground), hats, gloves, scarf etc. They will also warm you up at the end with hot chocolate, optionally fortified with vodka, and the vehicles are of course warm too. Tips: - 1. Dress warmly, as stated above 2. Book this for the first possible night (I booked it for the same night that I flew into Iceland) - as the aurora is unpredictable and not guaranteed, they will give you another shot at no additional cost if you are unable to see it at all on the first attempt. Thus, having your first attempt early in the visit will be beneficial - and keep the next night at least clear of anything booked, just in case (plus even if you are successful on the first night, it's a late finish at 1:30am - you won't want to do anything the next night anyway) 3. You need darkness, lack of cloud cover and ideally the moon at its lowest phase (as a competitor for light pollution) 4. Don't come to Iceland -just- for this, consider it an extra. It may not happen at all, there are also plenty of other amazing things to do in Iceland whilst you are here 5. Learn to use the correct settings on your own camera/smartphone before you go - have flash turned off and then exposure time turned up and ideally use a tripod, but if not a very steady hand (don't worry though even if you can't: the driver will take photos of you professionally and you can download these for no additional cost from the company drop-box later). I was able to take pretty decent photos of the aurora myself this way. 6. Don't be too disappointed if you don't see the sky lit up in greens, blues and purples with your naked eye. This is very rare, mostly it's a faint whitish glow (which you will get to recognise after a while), but you can immediately see an improved version though even a smartphone's camera.

Kristenn was an excellent tour guide and we saw the Northern Lights after a short drive. He took dozens of amazing photos and it was a wonderful experience

My sis and I booked this experience and didn't really know what to expect. Wow...our eyes just about popped out our head as we waited outside our hotel off the main street. Suddenly all lights blazing this total machine heads our way. We felt like we were on one of those extreme weather hunter programmes. We headed out of town pulling into areas off road to have a look. Our driver was very informative and gave us 50/50 chance if we were going to be successful. Fair enough it's mother nature and nobody tells her what to do! We headed towards the Blue Lagoon area and just waited. Great view, sky was bit cloudy but absolutely brilliant. Then they started to appear in dribs and drabs then got stronger and more intense....amazing to see. Freezing cold but hot chocolate with icelandic vodka to warm us up...mmmm. We also had photos taken that could be downloaded later for us to keep and as many as we wanted to pose for. Photos show up the colours of course much more than the naked eye but what a great experience to see them in action and a great keepsake. Thank you we had a brilliant night and great memories made.

Great tour. Our guide was entertaining. Cloudy night and our guide found an opening in the sky to get a great display of the Northern Lights. Personal photos and access to photos by the guide at no additional cost. Highly recommend.

Krissi was a great driver and guide on the Northern Lights tour. Pick up was promo, the super jeep was impressive & he explained everything to us. We were also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights & very grateful for the professional photos taken by Krissi and shared with the group free of charge. The hot chocolate with vodka in was a nice treat as well, so thank you for an amazing evening! Highly recommend the company & tour!

Able to rebook easily when the tour was cancelled due to bad weather. When we finally went out the driver worked hard to find the best places to see the lights. We made several stops and were rewarded with seeing them with the naked eye plus some great photos. The driver also took photos of us with the lights behind and we were able to upload all these for free within 12 hours. Felt very safe in the big jeep on snowy remote roads!

Super jeep guys, you were amazing so friendly and so professional it was an amazing time had by everyone in our group. You did not disappoint us . I highly recommend everyone to use these guys for an experience of a life time .Yngvi was amazing guy Driver thank you . I would like to take this opportunity to thank it.

Truly Incredible!! This trip was well worth the money. We watched the huge buses roll up to our hotel but it was so freaking cool to see an off roading car pick us up. The guides were great about photos and getting the views. Fun surprise was the spiked hot chocolate at the end. 1000% recommend!!

My family recently had the good fortune to book and go on the Northern Lights Superjeep tour on the 16/02/25. The whole process was seamless from booking, through to notification on the day as to the likelihood of the tour progressing, the pickup, the actual tour and the drop off. As we waited for collection at one of the pickup points we saw an amazing Ford F350, heavily modified and I jokingly said to my two sons wouldn't it be great if this was our ride. When the vehicle pulled up and called out our names we were delighted. The driver was fantastic and explained everything, we met up with 4 other Superjeeps at the destination, the light show was amazing and the hot chocolate and Vodka shots were welcome as it was bitterly cold. What a brilliant experience and well worth the money - I would highly recommend Superjeep!!!

Northern lights were fantastic and the Superjeep staff excellent. Our first trip was cancelled but we were able to rebook the next night through the efficient email!

Brilliant trip, fortunate to see a magnificent lights show, even to the naked eye! Krisi our guide was fantastic and funny, took great care of us. Would highly recommend. The jeep was huge!

Got to see the lights. Must be patient but worth the wait. Would not suggest Super Jeep for someone with mobility issues as the vehicle is very high.

Professional, informative team. Fun night out, seeing the Northern Lights is a bonus but in my case it was mission accomplished. Highly recommend.

Oh My how Do I start? This was a night to always remember! So Much Fun! Our Driver Christinn, Not sure if I'm spelling his name right. He was a Big Guy, could have been a Viking back in the day. Didnt have a lot to say but when he did was Funny and and he showed us GREAT TIME. Got picked up at the Hotel on time in a Monster SUV. There was several feet of snow on the ground. Chris took us OFFROADING back in the BOONIE'S. Blazing Trails At Night in Deep Snow! Thank God For GPS keeping us on the trails because you couldnt see the TRAILS! Chris DID Yoeman's Work and a Super Job. SOOOO! We get back in the Sticks and let Mother Nature put on her Show! OMG, She did not Disappoint! For 3 Hours We watched The Heavens Dance in the Universe . Changing Scenes and Colors it was Spectacular. When you didnt think the night could get better Chris gets out the Hot Chocolate and Vodka! Chris took a Zillion Photos and all was included with the tour. Super Jeep was recommended to me and I am SO Glad I took the Advise!

Couldn't rate the trip more highly! Just being in the jeep was an experience but we saw the northern lights, had lots of time,no rush and fabulous photos taken by our guide.

Excellent tour, the guides were friendly, experienced and did a great job taking us to beautiful locations to see the Northern Lights

Brilliant trip with the guys. There are a great laugh but very knowledgable making for a wonderful night. Although on our trip it was made even better as 2 of the 4 jeeps got themselves stuck in the snow very funny. Great way to see the lights in these super jeeps much better than a coach tour.

What a fun experience. The pick up in Reykjavik to the feeling of security on the snowy roads to the actual experience of seeing the northern lights was perfect. We had low hopes of seeing the lights with bad weather int he city, but this group found the lights, had a tripod ready to take everyone's pictures and hot chocolate to cap off the successful hunt.

the tour was fantastic - our guide stayed out longer because the weather conditions were predicted to improve later on - i’m so glad we did - the northern lights were amazing!

We did the Northern Light Hunt with SuperJeep.is. Our first trip with Chrissie was fun, but Northern Light eluded us. Chrissie and the tour company offered us a redo. We were able to go out again when conditions were better, and we saw the Northern Lights with Geir and Leil (sp?) on our redo. This is a good and dependable company for us. I booked with a 10 percent off discount code Leo10 offered on their website. The "Superjeeps" are custom designed diesel F350s with giant expedition type cabs. Each fits about 10 guests. The vehicles are roomy and all have seatbelts. There are three rows that will seat 3 to a row and an additional passenger sits next to the driver. Our drivers were very skilled in handling snow and ice covered roads with high wind and precipitation. They drive you out of the city where our superjeep met with 4 or 5 more Superjeeps. A hunt leader then guides all the super jeeps to another location or two of the leader’s choosing where the leader thinks is best place to see the Lights. First night, we went on really bumpy roads to a power plant with geo thermal steams and power lines in the background while the second one was by the Lake near pingvallavatn. The guides will serve hot chocolate with or without vodka near the end of the night which was a welcomed treat during a very cold night. They will take free photos of you and your party and send them to you later if you request it via an email. This company was recommended to us by another private tour guide Mike we used in Iceland who did not do Northern Light Tours. He told us that SuperJeep has a good reputation and would do us right. And it indeed was a good recommendation and experience. The customer service as well as their tour leaders' and guides' commitment to find northern lights were awesome. I would recommend getting in touch with them as early as possible on your trip so that you have more options on redos if you don't see the lights on your tour. Our first hunt was on a Wednesday. The Thursday and Friday hunts were canceled due to bad conditions, but the company rescheduled us for Saturdav which turned out wonderful. It seems that you can book with them the night before or day of the trip as needed. Just read their cancellation policy as you should do with all other tours.

We had an amazing time in the super jeep with our guides who were so helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The hot chocolate has a special ingredient and is 💯 recommended too. 5* experience!

Average product for a premium price . Good driver looked hard to seek out the lights . Jeep was big , but a bit crowded… 1-3-3-3 configuration , so not all couples could sit together . Also original booking was for Hotel pick up , but at last minute we were requested to change to a bus stop location near the hotel “” as it would be easier for the driver “”That in itself would not be a problem , but the vehicle then arrived 35 minutes late …. So we were standing at a cold , crowded bus stop for around 45 minutes till driver turned up . Not good for the price we paid . Microphone not working on the night we went , so hard to hear the driver at the back of the vehicle . Overall disappointing . .

Our jeep drivers were amazing… they persisted in chasing until they found them! Even took some fantastic photos for us. The hot chocolate on an extremely cold night was much appreciated! Thank you for a fantastic night!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. Great from start to finish! We were lucky to see the northern lights but even without, the tour felt like a real adventure off roading in the snow in the dark! Great tour guides. Would recommend and when we come back to Iceland we will do it again!
