Most of the one-day tours of aurora observation in Iceland are in Reykjavik, and the hotel is rich in resources. For example: icelandair Hotels Group's wine, Reykjavik Voss Hotel and other famous hotels.

. These hotels can be booked through beehives.

Living in Reykjavik is one of the most convenient choices to join Aurora Group. Chirieri, the second largest city in northern Iceland, is also an excellent place to enjoy the aurora. The one-day aurora tour there was also picked up by Kireri Hotel. If you are interested in the northern part of Iceland, you can stay in Chirieri for a few nights by Inland Airlines and take part in the aurora tour there. I believe it will be more rewarding.

winter camp

Speaking of camping, it means that you need to drive to do it.

Experienced outdoor athletes and adventure lovers can consider the following items when camping in winter:

1. Windproof and waterproof tent/camping bag

2. Super hot four-season sleeping bag

3. Air cushion (isolated from cold ground)

4. Some chemical heating pads

5. Headlights (longer nights in winter)

6. "Propane heater

7. Propane furnace (or similar equipment)

8. Cooking utensils

Tips:

The condensed water thawed in the tent at night can be used as bath water the next day;

Using camping bags/sleeping bags in tents can keep 1-2 nights dry.

Last but not least:

When looking for the northern lights, you need to wait outside often (you often miss the aurora indoors or in the car)

Check the cloud cover forecast (the possibility of seeing aurora on cloudy days is very low)

Do you have wool clothes and warm things in your luggage?

Use compression bags

Roll up the clothes, don't fold them.

Tips:

Other suggestions

Lipstick and moisturizing cream

Glasses/goggles (to protect eyes from frost and wind)

Thermostatic flask (hot water)

A good book (while waiting for the aurora)

Before the Aurora Tour begins, you need to:

Get your passport ready.

Tell your family/friends where you are going.

Prepare a rechargeable mobile phone and mobile power supply.

Swimming suit (soaking in hot springs)

Getting accommodation in summer is the peak season for Icelandic tourism. Tourists from all over the world flock to Iceland, and accommodation is tight. It's hard for them to make reservations themselves. In addition, they are not familiar with the terrain and road conditions in Iceland. After spending a lot of time and energy, the final ideal route may be affected by accommodation, leading to unreasonable trips on the road. Local people will make the best route planning and book the most suitable accommodation according to their rich experience.

Hotel accommodation is also a big problem. Winter in Iceland is the tourist season, and many hotels are fully booked two months in advance. Generally, when you go to Iceland, you will choose to stay in chain hotels, homestays, farms and youth tours. The highest rating of all hotels in Iceland is 4 stars. Some hotels are in Reykjavik, the capital, and some will be in scenic spots or even remote areas. However, Icelandic hotels have one big feature. Many hotels can see the aurora in front of the window, but not every day.

Basic hotel price: 800 ~ 3000/ night.

B&B basic price: 500 ~ 1000/ night.

Basic farmhouse price: around 600 yuan/night.

Basic price of youth travel: 200 ~ 1000/ night.

How to arrange hotels Some hotels in Iceland are well worth visiting, even you can't stay several times in your life, such as Ion Adventure Hotel and Langgao Hotel in the inland of Iceland. Besides being very sci-fi, they are also very suitable for watching the aurora. Local tour groups often help you book a hotel for a few days, but not everyone will always choose local tour groups, and some will even stay in characteristic hotel for a day or two. Therefore, choosing a hotel must give consideration to both practical value and play value.

Generally speaking, I suggest you choose one or two hotels with special features, so as to leave a good memory. You can stay in ordinary hotel chains at other times. If you consider the budget, you can stay in the Youth Travel Service for a few more days. In addition, friends who want to cook and eat in Iceland can choose to stay in a homestay or a farm for a few days. Generally, there are other activities on the farm, such as horseback riding.

The precautions for staying in hotels in Iceland are still popular. It is recommended to book a few months in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to book. Many hotels offer free breakfast. As for Chinese food and dinner, you need to buy them separately. Some hotels have gyms, swimming pools and outdoor hot springs, which can be used for free. In most cases, hotels in Iceland are similar to those in China, so don't worry too much about cultural differences.
