Astrotourism doesn’t just belong to the sea anymore. Now, travelers are interested in what happens in the sky once the anchor drops and they get on land. Shore Excursions Group is here to answer the question: What is there to do on shore after dark? Shore Excursions Group has built the kind of on-shore experiences astrotourism travelers are looking for well before the trend had a name.
In Reykjavik, guests will head to Iceland’s dark countryside to look for the bright colors of green and violet in the sky. This curtain of colors makes the Northern Lights Tour one of the most popular excursions in the region.
A trip to Iceland isn’t complete without spotting the Northern Lights in its natural beauty. Caused by the sun’s particles interacting with the North Pole’s atmosphere, this phenomenon is often referred to as one of the most amazing sights in the world.
The Northern Lights are visible in the area from September to April, so make sure to book the tour during those months. The tour takes travelers to a variety of sites where lights are the brightest.
Destinations are different for each tour and depend on weather conditions. Travelers who don’t get to see the Northern Lights due to the weather on the tour are invited back to join on another date.
