One of the greatest attractions of Iceland is the unparalleled view of the Northern Lights. One does not have to travel to the North to the Arctic Circle to view this grand spectacle in the night sky. Just a few miles outside Reykjavik is sufficient to get one a magnificent view.
Winter is a good time for the tour to Iceland Northern Lights with August to March being the season for such trips. The skies are clear and when one is far from the city and the skies are clear, there is a good chance the Northern Lights will put in an appearance. However, there is no guarantee. People have been known to wait in vain and return disappointed. This is why one must spare at least two to three days for a glimpse of this spectacle. One of the better ways is to join Iceland northern lights tours by discover.is, a family run enterprise specializing in custom tours in Iceland. The reason why one must spare two to three days or even more is clear because the appearance of the Aurora Borealis depends on the weather, the climatic conditions and also the Sun’s activity. Discover.is tour is best since there is all likelihood, despite reliance on weather and forecasts that one may not be able to view the Northern Lights and may have to return the next day or the day after. It could be expensive but Discover tours for Northern Lights offer a free second and third chance should the first visit prove unsuccessful. Tourists only have to manage their accommodation and food. Travel for the Northern Lights view is taken care of by the tour operator.
The usual color of the Northern Lights is green. However, depending on conditions it may appear as gray-white-cloudy or there may be shades of purple, blue and violet. One has to arrive at the site after 6 PM but the Northern Lights may appear late so one must be prepared to wait for hours. It is possible that one may get to see only a gray-white appearance and return disappointed. In this case, the tourists can arrange for another visit but then they would have to pay extra because the tour for Northern Lights only guarantees a sighting, not the color.
Discover fixes its schedule based on forecasts for the Aurora Borealis and weather forecasts but even then there is no certainty which is why they offer free second and third chance. If they cancel the tour then a full refund is offered or tourists can join on the next available tour. It is best to undertake the tour in a super jeep that also gives tourists a chance to see Iceland by night. Discover.is is the perfect channel because they offer comfortable super jeeps or minivans, knowledgeable guides, choice of the right places outside Reykjavik and additional attempts should the first one fail. Photographers are offered the use of a tripod at no extra cost. Should one be lucky and get to view the Northern Lights in all their glory, it will be an experience to remember.
