Overview
A visit to Aurora Basecamp increases the chance of visitors to have a positive experience of the Northern Lights during their stay in Iceland. Many of our guests, who after having no luck hunting for the Aurora Borealis on their own, have expressed the opinion that they wish they had visited the Basecamp at the start of their trip so they would have had a better idea of what to look for. Therefore, we strongly recommend visitors come to us before heading out on their own to increase the chances of a successful search. The Aurora Basecamp should therefore be a priority stop once you have arrived during winter in Iceland.
We also provide a series of maps we call Aurora Trails. Customers can find useful information about how to safely look for the aurora, as well as good driving routes and accessible parking for those who plan to continue their search after visiting us at Aurora Basecamp.

What To Expect
Hafnarfjordur
Aurora Basecamp experience is designed to help you identify the natural Northern Lights right from the start. Using our expertise as Northern Light guides, we take you through our small exhibition where we teach you about the different phases of the lights. We also show you the activity of the Natural lights in the unique Northern Lights Plasma Tubes that accurately mirror the activity of the Aurora Borealis in real-time. As a Northern Lights Observatory, the real magic happens outside when the conditions are right. The outdoor area is low lit with benches around firepits to help you stay warm while admiring the endless space, simply enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. The experience includes access to the low-lit Aurora Lounge, furnished with tables and benches and with plenty of hot chocolate for warming up on the cold winter night. The Lounge is fully staffed with experts that will tell you everything you need to know to improve your chances of seeing the Northern Lights
