Itinerary
Day 1
Evening meeting and guided transfer to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon for Northern Lights viewing. Designed for a relaxed, intimate experience with time for photography and a quiet shared moment under the aurora.
Meet at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon (reception)
Guests meet at the Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon reception to check in with the guide and receive a short safety briefing before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon reception at least 10 minutes before the scheduled 21:00 start to complete check-in.
- Use the hotel's restrooms and collect any personal warm layers—public facilities at the lagoon are limited.
- Dress in warm layers, insulated footwear, gloves, and a windproof outer layer; Icelandic nights are cold in winter.
Minibus transfer to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Short night-time transfer by minibus from Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon to the Jökulsárlón viewing area (approx. 30 minutes, depending on conditions). The guide will brief on safety and photography before arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- Seat belts are required; stow tripods and loose gear safely during the drive and retrieve them on arrival.
- Use restrooms and have final preparations before boarding—the transfer is approximately 30 minutes each way.
- Road and weather conditions can change quickly; keep a small warm drink in a thermos and secure loose items.
Northern Lights viewing at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
On-site aurora observation at Jökulsárlón. Guests will have time to step out onto the shoreline area to watch the auroral displays, take photographs, and enjoy a quiet moment together. Guides will advise on safe viewing locations and photography settings.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a tripod and spare camera batteries—cold reduces battery life; use long-exposure settings for aurora photography.
- Keep a safe distance from the water and unstable ice; follow the guide's directions at all times for personal safety.
- Plan a short private pause together (5–10 minutes) to enjoy the display in silence—voices and flash are disruptive to others and to night photography.
Return transfer to Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon
Return by minibus to Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon. Brief wrap-up with the guide on arrival and assistance with disembarking and personal items.
Tips from local experts:
- Check all personal items (camera, tripod, gloves) before leaving the minibus; guides can help verify belongings.
- Be prepared for possible slight delays due to road or weather conditions; remain dressed warmly until indoors.
- If you need a tour receipt or confirmation, request it from the guide during the return transfer.
