A private Northern Lights hunt from Reykjavik in a 44-inch Nissan Patrol Super Jeep, with an Icelandic storyteller guide, professional aurora photos, and homemade Icelandic hot chocolate.

This is the private version of the Norse Northern Lights experience. Instead of joining a scheduled Supertruck departure, your group heads into the winter night in our 44-inch Nissan Patrol Super Jeep: a loud, powerful, Icelandic mountain-truck experience with a 6.2L V8 engine, 500 horsepower, and the kind of presence that makes the drive part of the memory. Your guide still makes the evening the Norse way: live forecast decisions, Icelandic stories, real hot chocolate, and professional photos when the aurora appears.

Highlights

Ride in a private 44-inch Nissan Patrol Super Jeep with a 6.2L V8 engine, 500 horsepower, roaring sound, and a proper Icelandic mountain-truck feel.
Travel only with your own group, giving the guide more freedom to adapt the pace, photo stops, story rhythm, and comfort around you.
Go with an authentic Icelandic storyteller guide who brings the night alive with stories of trolls, elves, Norse gods, Vikings, weather, and winter travel.
Warm up with homemade Icelandic hot chocolate made with love from an old Icelandic recipe, using real chocolate melted in a pot instead of a quick powder mix.
Receive high-quality aurora portraits from professional guides who use Sony A7 III cameras and Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM lenses and have photographed Northern Lights guests for years.
Enjoy pickup from many Reykjavik locations, including door pickup when possible; if a hotel sits on a street where tourism traffic is restricted, we use the closest permitted pickup point.
If you do not see the Northern Lights, retry free of charge until you do, subject to availability and operating conditions.

Before pickup

Private forecast and route planning

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How is the private Super Jeep tour different from the scheduled tour?

The scheduled Northern Lights tour runs as a small-group Supertruck departure. The private tour is only for your group and uses our 44-inch Nissan Patrol Super Jeep, giving the evening a more personal pace, more flexibility, and a stronger Icelandic mountain-truck character.

What vehicle is used for the private tour?

The private tour uses a 44-inch Nissan Patrol Super Jeep with a 6.2L V8 engine, 500 horsepower, roaring sound, and heavily modified winter-road presence. We still stay on legal roads and access routes; the vehicle is part of the premium experience and winter safety setup.

Is this priced per person or per private group?

Private pricing depends on the date, group size, pickup setup, and guide/vehicle availability. Send us your preferred date and group details, and we will confirm the private quote before anything is booked.

Do you still include photos and hot chocolate?

Yes. The private tour includes the same Norse details as the scheduled tour: an Icelandic storyteller guide, professional aurora photos when conditions allow, and homemade Icelandic hot chocolate made from real chocolate melted in a pot.

What happens if we do not see the Northern Lights?

If the lights do not appear, you can retry free of charge until you see them, subject to availability, weather, road conditions, and operating dates.
