Organising a trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights is probably the main objective of people who come to this country.

For many, it is a dream to be fulfilled that always exceeds expectations.
At Aldu Experience we organise tours to see the Northern Lights from the 1st of September to the 31st of March. It is important to remember that this tour, although it is designed to see the sky illuminated by the colour of the auroras, also allows you to see the landscape of this island in the middle of winter, when it reaches its maximum splendour. Hence, it is one of the star itineraries that we always recommend.
If you are planning your trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, you should know that our tours are carefully organised, in small groups of between 6 and 12 people and have experienced local guides who will help you experience this spectacle in a unique and unforgettable way. Contact us if you want to become one of those privileged people who have the opportunity to witness these magical moments when the sky is dyed in colours ranging from green to the deepest red. Difficult to forget but very easy to enjoy if you have a team like the one that forms this travel agency, founded on passion and respect for the nature. We look forward to seeing you.
Northern light Iceland season
Do you know anyone who has had the chance to see the Northern Lights? Then you know that they are one of the most incredible natural phenomena that exist. Winter is the Northern light Iceland season so we recommend you join our tour to experience what it feels like to admire this phenomenon. The Northern Lights are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar winds. Our trips from Reykjavík to Northern lights are the best way to witness the Northern Lights, with your own eyes, in one of the most incredible places on the planet: Iceland. On our Northern Lights tour you will spend 8 days visiting glaciers, waterfalls, beaches, volcanoes… You will be able to bathe in the Blue Lagoon, walk on the ice, admire the incredible landscapes of the island, feel small among such immense and wonderful nature.

I WANT TO GO ON THIS TOUR
Dress for our trip to Iceland
There are so many things to do when visiting Iceland that you don’t want to miss out by not wearing appropriate clothing.
If you visit powerful waterfalls such as Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss or Dettifoss, the mist from them can get you soaking wet in no time.
Thermal underwear, leggings (or tights) and T-shirts (or tight sweaters), are essential during the winter, as they provide different levels of insulation impossible to achieve otherwise.
When it comes to covering your torso, don’t forget the obvious pieces of clothing, like T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and vests.
There is nothing worse than having cold feet. Wool is the best material for insulating, so make sure you bring enough pairs to last you the entire trip.
Believe us, these accessories in Iceland much more than fashion accessories: they are real lifesavers, they make a difference between being comfortable or suffering.
You may not be thinking about packing a swimsuit for a winter trip or even for a trip to Iceland. However, on our tour it will be useful. Our tours have access to the Blue lagoon where you will need it. Don’t forget it at home.
The varied combination of Iceland’s terrain makes boots an essential garment, a thick sole is recommended (professional hiking boots is not essential) to adjust our crampons during the glacier hike.
