Recommended Stay
Travel Tip
Bring a camera with manual exposure settings or your phone with a night photography app. And don’t forget: stay up late — the aurora often shows up between 22:00 and 02:00.
When Can You See the Northern Lights in Iceland?
The best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is between late September and early April. During these months, the nights are long and dark — creating perfect conditions for the aurora borealis to appear. Peak viewing hours are typically between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM, especially on clear, moonless nights away from city lights.
