The 8 Best Super Jeep Tours from Reykjavik

1.Northern Lights 4×4 Tour with Pastries and Cocoa from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 340 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Leave Reykjavik by 4x4 minibus with a small group of up to 16, searching for clear skies and aurora activity. Guides such as Laura, Lorenzo, Piotr, Edgar, and Sergio have helped guests find the lights, explain the science and legends, and take photos. Cocoa, pastries, Wi-Fi, and hand warmers are included.

“We did see the Northern Lights, which was the highlight, and the coffee and doughnuts were a nice touch. However, pickup was an hour late and the tour overall felt very flat. Our guide, Margot (sp), was kind but lacked energy and enthusiasm. She didn’t share any folklore and only gave a brief explanation of the science behind the lights. Hand warmers weren’t offered (we found them ourselves on the bus), and both drives were almost completely silent, which made a late-night tour harder to stay engaged in. At the first stop, when clouds blocked the view, she asked us if we wanted to give up or try other locations…”

2.Northern Lights Superjeep Tour from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 323 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $254

Leave Reykjavik after dark in a giant 4x4 superjeep and search for the aurora beyond city lights. Guides such as Thomas, Chrissy, and Kristenn have taken groups to several viewing spots, stayed out when conditions improved, served hot chocolate, and taken free night-sky photos.

“The trip was spectacular. Our driver was persistent and never gave up on seeing the best northern lights possible. He was really committed to make sure we’d have the experience of our life; not just doing a job. We ended up staying until after 1 am and it was absolutely worth it because we had the best viewing at the end. My daughters loved the superjeep. Highly recommended!”

4.Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik in a Super Jeep

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 264 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $171

Leave Reykjavik’s city glow behind in a 4WD Super Jeep and spend about four hours hunting the aurora with an English-speaking guide. You’ll get hotel pickup, hot chocolate, Icelandic treats, free Northern Lights photos, and a free minibus retry if the sky stays dark.

“The tour guide was very gracious and eager for us to enjoy the tour. The hot chocolate and biscuits were good and the hot chocolate helped to warm us. It was a cold night and the wind was strong. We could just faintly see a touch of light color on the horizon. We tried a different location but the colors were not brighter. The stars, however were brilliant. We were allowed to book on another tour at no additional fee.”

“Adam was great. A small and personal tour of the geyser and the old Viking parliament. Alas no lights despite clear skies as space weather was not conducive but would have been from 1.30am onwards.”
