Eight Days in Iceland with Sky & Telescope

COME TO ICELAND ON S&T’s 8-DAY TOUR

(THE AURORAS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!)  

Meet Hótel Búðir — a charming and incredibly isolated accommodation on Iceland’s breathtaking Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Hótel Búðir is one of many reasons why Sky & Telescope’s aurora expeditions are unsurpassed!

First, we’ve picked a week (October 5–12, 2026) when moonlight won’t interfere with viewing both auroras and the starry sky. Second, our 4- and 5-star lodgings are far removed from the city lights. In addition to Hótel Búðir, our tour’s main accommodation — Hotel Ranga — even boasts its own telescope-equipped observatory! You’ll simply need to step outside and look up into the sky. Even during the evenings in Reykjavík, we’ll provide transportation to dark-sky sites outside the city. 

But time is growing short — very soon we’ll have to notify Hótel Búðir and Hotel Ranga of the final count of our tour’s participants. So don’t settle for an Icelandic tour that treats the auroras as an afterthought. Instead, join Sky & Telescope for a unique and memorable experience.
