  Breathtaking! Warning. . .it is very, very cold that late at night but the bus had cocoa and cinnamon buns, as well as blankets to keep warm. We had to wait for about 2 hours before the aurora was visible but so worth the wait.

  

• Excellent Northern Lights experience!

  We had a great trip out to find the Northern Lights with Bragi - and we have very happy with our decision to go with Arctic shots over a bigger tour. The main reasons for this were: 1. They will only take you out if there is a ‘decent’ probability of seeing them that evening. This could save you disappointment, time and effort whilst in cold temperatures. 2. They will check ‘when’ the lights are likely to appear, so you could be going out as early as sunset to later on in the evening - which takes some flexibility in terms of your plans that day as it may not be confirmed until the numbers start to align. We were picked up from our hotel at 7pm and saw the first showing by 7.40pm, and stronger showings from 9-10.30pm. 3. Unlike larger tours, where you go is very bespoke and flexible to increase your chances of seeing the lights. Because it’s a small group you can go to many different places with complete flexibility, and you have a warm car (with a hot chocolate to keep you warm!) to take breaks from the cold. The night we went out it felt like -13 so this was needed. 4. The amazing photos! Whilst you can sometimes see the lights well with the naked eye, they are so much brighter and dazzling with a DSLR camera. This trip was also an amazing photography shoot, ensuring that if the lights did appear, you have the photos to remember it forever. We did get a few good ones on our IPhones, but nothing like the professional cameras Arctic shots have. 5. Bragi sent the photos through early the next day, which were excellent. He’s an extremely talented photographer, and a really nice guy. We enjoyed learning more about Iceland from him This is a premium option compared to larger tours, but the experience, photos and increased chance of seeing the best lights that night mean it’s 100% worth it

• Awesome experience!

  I went out with Bragi on 9/12/24 and it was an awesome trip! He was fast with his replies and very punctual! He will pick you up at your Reykjavik hotel. Though the weather was so cloudy, he managed to move places to catch the gaps between the clouds to show me those beautiful northern lights! He is a great photographer by the way. Totally passionate and professional in his work! You will not regret engaging him to be your Northern Lights guide!

  We had an amazing experience with Bragi! He was extremely knowledgeable, in all things Iceland and northern lights. We were ready to give up but he refused to let us and we ended up having an amazing show. Thank you for the amazing experience Bragi!

  We were picked up on time in a jeep (7:30 p.m.) and there were 2 couples in total. The conditions weren't really good. It had only snowed the days before and it was always cloudy. In addition, December (according to our guide) is not the best month to see the lights. But on this day the sky was clear. We waited in vain at the first viewpoint and then changed location. At the second viewpoint, slight lights could be seen when you looked through the camera...which was of course unsatisfactory. So we changed location again and then it worked. They were visible to the naked eye and we took some nice pictures (with his camera and with our iPhone). In our 14-day vacation, it was the only time we saw the lights. We were satisfied and say thank you again 👍

  When he says 93% guarantee of seeing the lights, Bragi is not joking. With his expertise and a bit of luck, we saw lights that were a "once in 5 year event". Stunning colors, great eye. Highly helpful with guiding me for night sky photography and getting the right shots. 10/10 would recommend for best chance to see anything good.

• Great trip

  This northern lights tour is worth every penny! We booked early in our vacation just in case we would have to move the tour due to weather. We did end up moving the tour to the next day. Our tour guide was in communication the whole time regarding the weather and chances. Our tour guide told us all about the science behind northern lights and where to look for probabilities. He also helped me set the settings on my camera. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience!
