Voices of Travelers

Voices of Travelers

At the edge of the Earth lies a lonely and pure land.
Here, glaciers and volcanoes coexist in grandeur, the midnight sun and polar night alternate in wonder, and every winter, a natural miracle unfolds—the Aurora Borealis.

Iceland is one of the few countries in the world where you can "easily see the Northern Lights."
From September to March, as long as the weather is clear and the clouds part, you have a chance to see that mysterious green light in the night sky.
It’s not a light, but the interaction between the sun and Earth's magnetic field—it’s the breath of the universe.

✨ Chapter 1: When the Aurora Appears, the World Becomes Quiet

Everyone who has seen the Northern Lights remembers that moment.
Some wait in the southern plains, some by the glacial lakes, and others look up in the wind and snow to see the sky suddenly light up.

At that moment, time seems to stop.
The green ribbons dance among the stars, sometimes like flowing silk, sometimes like rolling waves.
When the light intensifies, you can clearly see purple and pink flickering at the edges—a breathtaking sight beyond words.

Iceland’s Northern Lights have no fixed location, but some areas are widely recognized by travelers as the "best viewing spots":

Þykkvibær (near Hotel Vos): Southern plains with almost no light pollution and excellent visibility.

Ölfus / Hella / Selfoss area: Close to the Golden Circle, high chance of clear skies, convenient transportation.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: When the aurora reflects on the ice, it’s like a dreamlike play of light and shadow.

Kirkjufell Mountain (Church Mountain): One of the favorite composition points for photographers, an Icelandic landmark under the starry sky.

🚐 Chapter 2: On the Road is the Soul of Iceland

N66 Private Charter lets you freely chase the light.

Iceland’s beauty is not just in one place but along the journey.
Starting from the capital Reykjavik, you’ll pass waterfalls, volcanoes, tundra, glaciers...
Every day’s weather is different, and the scenery never repeats.

But driving in winter is not easy:
Icy roads, strong winds, low visibility, plus the difference of left-hand driving, many have to give up halfway.

That’s when N66 private charter service is the best choice.

We have seen many travelers—
Their first aurora chase wrapped in blankets in the wind;
The second time, sitting in the warm N66 vehicle, snow falling outside, soft music playing inside,
When the driver softly says, "Look up!"
That green light just lit up outside the window.

At that moment, nothing is happier than "someone safely bringing you there and then showing you the Northern Lights."

🏨 Chapter 3: Nights Under the Aurora · Hotel Vos

Imagine the Northern Lights flashing outside your window, and you don’t have to put on a coat to go out.
Open the door, and there’s a vast light-pollution-free plain.

Some say, "Nights at Hotel Vos are the most comfortable way to wait for the Northern Lights."
Sipping hot soup while looking up at the sky, the aurora flickering faintly—the warmth is enough to fend off the cold wind.

💬 Chapter 6: Voices of Travelers

"That night, the driver said, 'The aurora might appear, but be patient.'
We waited two hours on the plains of Ölfus, the wind howling,
Just when we were about to give up, the sky lit up.
Green and purple lights spun on the horizon.
I cried—not because of the cold, but because it was so beautiful."

"Thanks to the N66 driver who took us to unknown corners.
That night, the aurora really danced right above our heads."

"Hotel Vos’s soup is so delicious!
Eating while watching the aurora flicker. That happiness is unforgettable."

🌠 A once-in-a-lifetime aurora chase

Iceland’s Northern Lights are not a sight you "go to see," but a miracle she "chooses to appear."
She teaches you patience and how to feel the calm of the moment.

In this land of ice and fire, you will rediscover the meaning of travel—
Not "how many places you see," but "how many scenes touch your heart."

When the aurora streaks across the sky again, maybe you’ll be in that N66 vehicle,
Looking through the window, seeing the light that belongs to you.
