Very knowledgeable guide... - Very knowledgeable guide with great stories about the history of Iceland and the best places to find the lights, even in times with little activity. Our bus broke down in the middle (not to the fault of the company) and they handled the situation professionally.

No Aurora but still worth it - Didn't get to see the lights but Daniel was really knowledgeable about the conditions that should be present. Maybe next time the Aurora will come out to play. The booking is good for a couple of years according to Daniel

Northern lights - It was my number one thing on my bucket list I wanted to see and we saw them so bright and vivid! Our guide was very informational and knew right where to take us! We also got to see a cool bridge where two continent tectonic plates separated and got hot coca and shark meet! Very much worth it!

This was a last minute... - This was a last minute booking for us! We were one another tour and had our guide look into the weather and KP rating for that night. We were in Iceland for the weekend only! The Northern Lights did not disappoint!! A BEAUTIFUL evening of lights that you could see with the naked eye as well as with our phone cameras! Although our bus did get stuck and we had to have a new one sent out, the memory is of the amazing views and not the late late night!! Our bus driver and guides were amazing and VERY helpful!!!

Amazing Experience - We did the northern lights tour on April 4, 2026. It was an amazing experience. Our guide, Jessica, was super knowledgeable and fantastic. Our driver drove us there safely. Even though there was a mishap, we are so happy that we get to see the northern lights.

Enjoyable Tour - We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Daniel the Aurora Whisperer, was a lot of fun, full of knowledge, and a good communicator. He even shared how to take good photos of the aurora. They monitored the weather, as well as the aurora activity, traveled accordingly, and did a good job trying to find the Northern Lights for us. And were successful! In fact, as we were heading back for the night, the driver spotted the Northern Lights again, even brighter than before, pulled over and had us get out to observe them once again. I was very grateful to get to see them. The surprise toward the end was also much appreciated. A bathroom break was also built into the tour. Of note, we went in late March and it was quite cold out there - and we had no wind that night! Hats, neck gaiters, good gloves/mittens, outer pants are a must!! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Northern lights tour - Too much time wasted on the hot chocolate and snack….the hot chocolate was watery too. Would have liked to have gone to more spots to see the northern lights. It was a bit disappointing. Description said 4 hours but we were back early.
