# Private Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik

In our comparison: #19 of 32 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Winter in Iceland is famous for it's Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern lights. Embark on a night tour to hunt for the Northern Lights and enjoy magical moments in the vast natural landscapes of Iceland. From Reykjavik we will be hunting the Northern Lights in the west of Iceland, passing Borgarnes town. But we monitor the weather closely and ensure that we go to the best places where you are more likely to see the Northern Lights.
We at Mercury are trying to do any single tour like this as a private. But sometimes weather making us mad so on that way we need to share previous travelers with current. Max 8 person in wan if that happens.
