Northern Lights at your doorstep!

Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northen Lights. On clear, crisp winter nights in Iceland, you can experience the Aurora dancing magically across the sky. Seeing the Northern Lights would be the cherry on top on top of your winter trip in Iceland. You can maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights by staying at a Northern Lights friendly accommodation. Being Northern Lights friendly means they offer some extra services in regards to the Northern Lights. We offer an optional wake-up call if Northern Lights are spotted in the sky. Our guests can also go on a late-night visit into the sheep shed to enjoy the sounds of rumination, cockcrow and neighing while waiting for the magical display of lights.

Trawlers and smaller boats in the harbour, as well as the countryside farms, remind visitors what Icelanders are made from and where they came from.
