Northern Lights Storm Chasing: Private Jeep Astrophotography Night

Chase the Aurora Borealis across Iceland's darkest skies in a private 4×4 with a dedicated aurora-forecasting guide and professional astrophotographer. Return with gallery-worthy images and memories for a lifetime.

What to expect

Departing after dusk, your guide monitors aurora activity indices on a live dashboard as your Jeep navigates away from any light pollution toward Iceland's pitch-black interior. When the curtains of green and violet ignite, you'll stop at a pre-scouted lakeside or lava field location for the best reflection and foreground composition. The astrophotographer sets up your shot — long exposures, ISO tuning — while you stand beneath one of Earth's most breathtaking natural phenomena. Hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries are served in the dark.
