Looking for a Aurora Northern Light 7 days tour. Will I be able to see during 3rd week of the month of September 2025?

The likelihood of seeing the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) in the third week of September in Iceland is quite high, but not guaranteed. September falls within the best time to view the aurora in Iceland, as the nights are getting longer and darker, and the equinoxes can bring increased solar activity. However, weather conditions, particularly cloud cover, are a major factor, and the aurora is never a certainty.

The tour was great, especially the 2nd day in Meteora. My sister could not walk up to the temple ruins at Delphi, so we sat the whole time. I think it would have been nice to offer the temple museum or the walk. We didn’t know we could go to museum. The scenery was beautiful and the bus very clean. Our hotel in Kalampaka was older, but clean and comfortable, with a wonderful balcony view of Meteora. The evening meal was wonderful. The tour was a nice experience and a great value. Our driver was very helpful with luggage and friendly. George was very helpful accommodating my sister once he realized her limitationsShow more
