Northern Lights in Iceland

The best period to view the beautifull display in the sky is between September and April. During this period the nights are dark enough to see the polar lights and enjoy the Northern Lights at its most colourfull. During midwinter the wheather in Iceland can be stormy and therefore we recommend the months of september and october as the best months to view for the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights can be seen all over Iceland, but the darker the surroundings the better the view of the Aurora is. Nevertheless Reykjavik is great place to see the Northern Lights, as the capital has enough parks with little light pollution. Seltjarnarnes Peninsula, Oskjuhlid Hill, Klambratun Park or Laugardalur Park are good choices within easy reach to view the Northern Lights.

The Black Pearl Reykjavik is the perfect base for your trip to Iceland to view the polar lights. Our staff is more than happy to arrange a private Northern Lights Tour for you and your family. If you prefer to hunt for the Northern Lights yourself by car, just let us know that you need a parking space in our parking garage.
