5.00It was one the unforgettable experience and life-time experience. Very professional, knowledge, and friendly tour operator. Amazing part that he also nicely explained the scientific phenomena, lure-folks and showed best of tricks to capture northern lights. We drove for around 35minutes to reach a fantastic spot to capture NLs. Worth it, and I would love to go back again to combine with some glacier background or with waterfall. Thank you for amazing trip.
Worth it!

5.00I booked a private Northern Lights tour with Iceland Paradise Tours. Sultan was our guide and he was very professional and knowledgeable. We learned alot about Iceland and the history of the Northern Lights. On our scheduled night, even though it was very cloudy, Sultan still took us out and was very determined to find the lights. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any but were able to reschedule to a later night. The second night we had more luck. We really appreciated his efforts to fulfill one of our trip goals. If we ever come back to visit Iceland again, we would definitely book another tour with Iceland Paradise Tours and Sultan.
Best Northern Lights Experience - the guide made the tour ❤️

5.00I had Sultan the Guide for my tour - if you can you should request him! He was super knowledgeable and funny l, he really made the trip unique. The pickup from Reykjavik was super easy (I went from bus stop 6), and we stopped at a few places with amazing views of the lights and landscapes! I had a few problems with my flights and they were super helpful in rebooking my slot - when I come back I will definitely book with you again! Thanks for an amazing experience

5.00This was our first day of tour and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish it was well-organized, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide Sultan, who made the evening both educational and exciting. Sultan kept us informed about the aurora forecast and shared the science. He even helped set up our cameras to capture the stunning display! The most appreciable things is he is very flexible. He also provided warm blankets and hot chocolates which added a cozy touch to the chilly night.
Once in a lifetime experience.

4.00What a night! We were fortunate to have a completely clear sky for our one night to see the Northern Lights. Our driver quickly got us to a great location to take it all in. I gave 4 stars because he was an hour late picking us up - maybe due to miscommunication; who knows. But otherwise, well worth the expense.
Gracious host, amazing experience to see the Northern Lights

5.00Sultan was an extremely humble, gracious and friendly host who went out of his way to give us a great experience and capture amazing photos of us. He even stayed a lot longer than other tour groups who were at the same spot to maximise our chances of seeing the lights. A fantastic person and experience.
Northern Lights - we did it!!

5.00We contacted Sultan to do this tour and he was great! Our tour was scheduled for Friday night, snowstorm, Saturday night, more snow, then Sunday!! It happened. We drove out of Reykjavík about 45 min….and we saw the lights!! Sultan took great pictures of us and even had hot chocolate and other snacks when we waited for a bit to see if the lights would be stronger. Ours were perfect….we were SO happy to have seen them! Recommend Sultan for this tour!! 👍👍
Outstanding tour company!!

5.00Paradise I’m just back from a fabulous and very busy 3 days in Iceland! I used Iceland Paradise Tours for all trips from return airport trips to Aurora hunt to South Island tour!! Sultan helped me build the perfect itinerary from start to finish. Every detail was catered to and the communication from Sultan and his team was flawless. I knew every minute what was happening via text or call. We were very fortunate to see the Aurora on our first night with Sultan. He is very knowledgeable all things Iceland and Aurora!! His beautiful wife made us Lava hot chocolate which was delicious!! The pictures Sultan took were outstanding, we were so overwhelmed with the beauty of Iceland and the Northern Lights!! Kjartan was our guide for the Southern Island tour and he entertained us the whole 8/9 hours of tour it was fantastic. His indepth knowledge of his land and its history was fascinating. He had us laughing all day and took us to some beautiful places. Stunning scenery. Now some will say 3 days isn’t enough but if it’s all you have, you work with it. Sultan knew we only had a few days and maximised this to full. We seen many waterfalls, geothermal springs, Game of Thrones areas, Sky Lagoon, Perlan Museum, Flyover Iceland, Black Beach, glaciers, volcanos plus we ate in a few gorgeous restaurants!!! If you come to Iceland 🇮🇸 please use Iceland Paradise Tours you will not be disappointed 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Out of this world experience!
