    Is the ring road tour included? If we want to visit the blue lagoon will you also guide us there?

      Hannah

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      We are planning to travel around September, If the northern lights are not visible then what is the back-up plan? Can we see northern lights from out guest house?

    • Under30ExperiencesOperatorWritten January 2023

      We do not include the ring road tour or blue lagoon in our trip. If you wanted to do either/both of these, you would need to arrange that on your own before or after our trip. As for the northern lights, since they are a weather occurrence, they are never guaranteed. Our guesthouse is located in the countryside away from lights so you'll be able to go outside every night to see if you can spot them. On this same note, since we are outside of major cities, we do not have official "northern light spotting" trips, so there's no need to have back-up plans. You can simply step outside of your guesthouse and look to the sky!
