Northern Lights can be seen in North Iceland from the end of August to mid- April. Enjoy the clear skies by simply looking upwards towards those dancing, flickering veils of light in green, white or red, or take a guided northern lights tour to excellent observation and photography locations. These tours can include a visit to geothermal bathing areas, evening boat tours, snow cat tours or sightseeing in unique locations.

Many agencies offer snowmobile and snowcat tours. They are suitable for anyone looking for a little excitement and adventure while on vacation.

Riding and guiding a dog sled is an adventure not soon forgotten.

Many travel agencies specialize in different kinds of jeep expeditions. A jeep tour on a glacier with breathtaking views is an unforgettable experience.

Snowshoes make winter walking and hiking so much more fun and accessible.
