Magical Experience! - This was an incredible experience. We couldn't have checked off our aurora bucket list item any more magically! Roberto was very knowledgeable and prepared. The hike was a bit more strenuous than expected but well worth it! We highly recommend this experience through Hikers of Iceland.

A night we will never forget - The hike has become the highlight of our week in Reykjavik. Rather hesitant at first as we didn't know what to expect really - not helped by me pulling a muscle in my back which made walking a bit awkward - we were met by Roberto who immediately put us at ease and filled us with confidence ( he lent me poles to help me walk). We had an adventure we could not have imagined .We hiked to the hot river as the night drew in, we soaked in blissful warm pool as Roberto explained the Northern Lights and the constellations to us. We then had some welcome snacks and started.our return hike. To be astounded by the Northern Lighfs that surrounded us - as we stared in awe Reberto took amazing pictures.. Our experience was better than we could have hoped or imagined! Roberto is an excellent guide helping us all with humour which made us feel just great! We talked about it endlessly the next day! A night to remember!
