Parking field where most northern tour companies take you , so don't be surprised when you pull up next to 10 or more huge coach buses to take Norther photos. Went 2/21/19 Parked my tripod on the parking lot and there were too many amateurs trying to use their flash on their cameras to take pictures. Then they totally disregard where you are and stand in front of your while you're try to take pictures. Be prepared for mega windy conditions. Would have been better if the KP index was more than a 2. Also. from nearby roads can kill the shots too. Rent a car and find someplace else. To say, it's very good is like saying nothing. Everything is prepared perfectly. The guides always have a couple of different spots where they can take you. So don't panic if the area is cloudy or the Aurora forecast for your place says that the chances to see the are low. On the site there are usually hot drinks and waffles. What's important is that you can pay by card! So if you get cold, and I'm pretty sure you will, don't think twice. Plus, it's so unique to have a coup of hot chocolate in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night watching the aurora. In case you didn't get a chance to see the aurora your guide will let you rebook your experience for free. Don't forget to wear warm clothing. And I mean warm. The guide took us to 2 different locations to get the best visibility and were so enthusiastic. Best night out in years. Because I was here at the end of May while the days are very long there was no northern to be seen this time of year. However, the view is still incredible and beautiful. Good hotel and friendly staff Warning long review (in short, get a good that you can adjust the iOS to 1600 and shutter speed to 8) Read on for full story. Visited this site on the Sunday but no luck at all, kept rebooking the trip hoping to see the before we returned home on the Thursday. Monday and Tuesday got cancelled due to weather so Wednesday was our last chance. We got on the bus and they drove to a different location which was in the national park, I can't seem to find the location on here though, I know this sounds really silly but there's a waffle van on site and it was so much quieter on the Wednesday it really made for a more peaceful visit. We saw the start as soon as we got off the coach and 9:45 and they were continuing still very strong right until we had to leave at 11:45, I could have stayed all night!! Randomly our didn't manage to capture the despite our efforts to change aperture and shutter speed. My android captured the moments perfectly, my advice to get the best out of the experience is to take a stand!! With the phone you have to hold it for some seconds to allow the light in so some pictures the stars are blurred where I moved. If I didn't have the phone I wouldn't have been as impressed due to the fact the naked eye cannot see the colours the can capture. Make sure your equipment is working properly before your trip because you may not be so lucky to have time to mess about with etc. They can last between 5-20 minutes usually however we g it lucky. The weather review expected our visit to be a 5 out of the activity scale of 1-6, 6 is really rare so you can quite imagine the show we got for our final night!! Buzzing!! Here's some pictures my little old phone captured! The lady next to me was shooting her and not much was showing on her screen to which she said to her husband "not much activity going on over there" so I tried and my goodness couldn't believe the colours and swirls my preview showed up, I really cannot stress enough how important having a good is for your experience. I really wouldn't have been so in awe if I only saw the by my own natural eyes. They look like clouds to the naked eye so easily missed if you don't have a guide to point them out. Not a bad location but unfortunately the proximity of the airport does contribute some light pollution. The drive is a little long from Reykjavik but definitely worth it to see the amazing phenomenon. Good parking lots and wide open areas to observe the from. Our 2nd night hunting and the Icelandic gods smiled on us 😊 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
