Excellent tour - 10/10 guide and experience - I think this was the perfect way to view the lights. Nebo was a fantastic tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some amazing spots. The hot chocolate and hand warmers were an excellent touch. Also his photos are amazing. I would highly recommend going on this tour in particular. Small group experience is so much better.

Great Northern Lights experience! - This late evening trip was fabulous. Our guide Tomas was extremely knowledgeable about the Northern Lights, the stars and sky in general. He took photos with his professional camera of each passenger and worked really hard to get us a memorable experience of the Northern Lights - he did that, and this is largely because of his wealth of knowledge. Hot chocolate and Icelandic donuts were a nice touch.

Highly recommended - Absolutely recommended, Karol our guide, has made the trip an experience. With a lot of humour and knowledge he guided us through the experience. He first drove us to one of the few places with non-cloudy skies that existed in the evening and then waited with us for the Northern Lights. He bridged the time with humor and nice stories and also shared his knowledge of the Iceland ponysc standing next to it. Pastries and hot cocoa served with it. In the end we were rewarded and saw beautiful northern lights. Karol himself celebrated every appearance like a feast, as if he himself were seeing the Northern Lights for the first time. Wonderfully infectious :-) a great experience, the tour we would book again and again, absolute "thumbs up"

Fantastic Northern Lights small group trip - Laura, our Guide, was excellent, explaining where we were going and why we were going where the big tour groups weren’t. The location was fantastic, there was just the 15 of us on our 4x4 minibus there which was so much better than standing with 200 other people! She also explained the science behind the Northern Lights and how to interpret the data in the various apps to understand the likelihood of the Lights appearing. We watched the conditions improve with warm hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries and then the lights appeared and gave us an amazing show! Thank you Laura, you were amazing.
