Chasing the Lights: A Magical Northern Lights Minibus Tour with TPO.Travel

Experience Iceland’s Celestial Show with Expert Guides and Complimentary Photos

Iceland isn’t just a destination—it’s a dream woven with volcanoes, glaciers, and midnight skies painted in brilliant green. And if there’s one experience that captures the true magic of this Arctic wonderland, it’s the Northern Lights. Now imagine not just seeing them, but chasing them—on a small group adventure where you don’t just witness the lights, but understand and remember them forever.

Enter the Magical Northern Lights Minibus Tour with Free Photos, offered in collaboration with TPO.Travel, your trusted travel partner for immersive, tailored, and seamless European sightseeing adventures.

Let us take you off the beaten track—beyond city lights, into the wild, where the sky comes alive.

Why Choose a Minibus Tour?

Let’s face it—when it comes to chasing auroras, size matters. A minibus offers comfort, flexibility, and intimacy that big tour buses can’t. With small group sizes, you get more personal attention, insider stories from your expert guide, and the freedom to pivot the route based on real-time weather and aurora forecasts.

With TPO.Travel, that means an upgraded experience—from easy booking and customer service to combining your Northern Lights adventure with transfers, day tours, or even hotel arrangements.

The Tour Begins: Out of Reykjavik, Into the Night

Your journey starts in Reykjavik, where you’ll be picked up in a comfortable, modern minibus and welcomed by a local, English-speaking aurora expert. Armed with the best available aurora activity and cloud coverage forecasts, your guide will drive you away from the city lights, toward wherever conditions are most promising.

Depending on the night’s weather and forecast, your route might take you to:

  • Þingvellir National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site known not just for its history, but for its dark skies and wide-open views.
  • Reykjanes Peninsula – with its steaming geothermal fields and surreal lunar-like landscapes.
  • Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord) – a quiet, dramatic fjord that few tourists ever see.
  • Or one of several hidden rural gems only locals would know.

Wherever you go, one thing is guaranteed: your guide will be doing everything possible to help you see the Northern Lights in all their glory.

Free Professional Photos: Your Memories, Captured Perfectly

Let’s be honest—taking a good picture of the Northern Lights is no easy task. But don’t worry. This tour includes free professional photographs taken by your guide, so you can focus on the experience while someone else takes care of the lens.

These high-resolution images are delivered to you after the tour—no extra charge, no fuss, just beautiful, share-worthy memories to cherish forever.

Bonus: your guide will also give you tips on how to shoot auroras with your phone or DSLR, so you can try capturing the magic yourself.

What Makes This Tour Special?

1. Small Groups, Big Moments

TPO.Travel knows that some of the best moments happen in smaller circles. That’s why we work with providers who prioritize intimate group sizes, allowing for a more personalized, friendly, and flexible experience.

2. Flexible Locations Based on Forecasts

Unlike standard bus tours with fixed routes, the minibus allows your guide to adapt the tour route in real-time. This means better chances of seeing the lights, even when conditions change quickly.

3. Warmth and Comfort

Stay cozy in our heated minibus, and enjoy warm beverages on some tours. You can also bring your own snacks and dress in layers—we’ll give you all the tips for staying comfortable while watching the sky.

4. TPO.Travel Add-On Services

Book this experience directly through TPO.Travel and gain access to combo deals, like:

  • Airport transfers before or after your Northern Lights adventure.
  • Day tours like the Golden Circle or Blue Lagoon excursions.
  • Hotel accommodations with late check-outs or early check-ins.
  • Exclusive customer support and rescheduling options if your tour gets canceled due to weather.

What to Bring and Know Before You Go

  • Dress in layers: Base layer, insulated outerwear, hat, gloves, and warm socks.
  • Bring a tripod if you’re planning to shoot with a DSLR or long-exposure smartphone settings.
  • Charged phone or camera, power banks optional.
  • Patience and excitement: Nature runs on her own schedule, but trust us—it’s worth it.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate and the auroras don’t appear, TPO.Travel’s partners offer a free rebooking on the next available night, ensuring you get another shot at seeing the spectacle.

A Real Life Northern Lights Story

“We were picked up right on time, bundled into a cozy minibus with just 12 other people. Our guide, Anna, was hilarious and full of knowledge. She took us out near Þingvellir and we waited under the stars. Then suddenly—there they were. Green, swirling, absolutely unreal. She snapped the most incredible photo of me and my husband with the lights in the background. Best. Night. Ever.”
Elena G., Spain

“We loved that it wasn’t a cookie-cutter tour. The guide explained the science but also told Icelandic stories. When the lights started moving across the sky, everyone just gasped. It felt like we were watching the Earth breathe.”
Tariq A., UAE
