Looking up into the night sky usually guarantees a few sights: stars, a waxing (or waning) moon, perhaps the flashing red light of a far-away plane or the slow glimmer of a distant satellite orbiting the earth. Looking up into the night sky near the North Pole provides a very different view; a celestial dance played out on the black stage of the winter sky. Say hello to the Northern Lights.
Our Northern Lights trips take you to some of the world’s best locations for witnessing this spectacular event. Whether it’s heading to Iceland’s remote Lake Myvatn, cruising among Greenland’s glaciers or travelling by snowcat (a vehicle, not a wild animal) into Alaska’s northern wilds, Northern Lights tours with Intrepid give you the best seats in the house for one of this galaxy’s most stunning natural performances.

Northern Lights Escape, February 2017
Nathalie Germain
Great trip, our guide (Palli) was super helpful during my Icelandic adventure. I traveled solo for the first time and made tons of new friends! The included food (mostly breakfast) was superb, and we were able to get a museum trip instead of a glacier walk for free when a big snowstorm ruined our plans. Totally recommend it for solo travelers as I never felt bored or unsafe.

The trips are rather expensive. However, it was worth the money especially for a first-time trip to an unfamiliar destination, or if you have concerns regarding safety and/or cultural differences.

Great tour guide, very friendly locals, amazing food (go for the fish), gorgeously stunning scenery everywhere. There is nothing to not love about Iceland. I would advise to try and stay out there on a slightly longer Intrepid trip, however.
