Aurora Basecamp is the only Northern Lights observatory in Iceland. It's a great place to learn more about the northern lights from a local guide and be able to catch the northern lights without freezing your butt off! I always love the experience because you can also sit by a bonfire which makes me feel like a true viking 😂

Super close to Reykjavik so you don't have to drive around all night or sit on a bus chasing the northern lights :)

They also have an option with a transfer from Reykjavik if you do not have a car.
