Northern Lights hunt with family in Iceland.

Northern Lights hunting

Your kids will remember the northern lights chasing in Iceland forever. Dress warmly and bring a thermos filled with hot chocolate to keep you all warm. Since there’s no guarantee of witnessing the northern lights, our top tip is to prepare your children for the possibility of waiting for the lights to appear. Delve into the natural wonder of the aurora borealis with your children before embarking on your journey to Iceland.
