5.00With our professional and extremely knowledgeable guide Balli we were on an amazing search for the Northern Lights. He found the perfect spot: a starry night over Reykjavik with the Northern Lights dancing magically for us. Thank you!

5.00I would thoroughly recommend this trip!! We had an experienced guide who took us out to 2 locations to see the Northern lights which we did! Hot drinks and pastries were provided and we also had plenty of photos taken which were shared via a link the next day. Other travellers had their tours cancelled the same day due to low probability of seeing the lights so we were so glad we opted for this specific trip!
Amazing tour

5.00Nothing could have prepared me for the moment the Northern Lights appeared. The sky turned into a living painting of greens and purples, and I just stood there, completely mesmerized. Jonas, our guide, made sure we had the best experience driving us to the perfect spot, keeping us warm with hot chocolate, and sharing stories that made the night even more magical. If you’re in Iceland, don’t miss this!

5.00At first, the sky was dark, and we started to lose hope, but Gestur kept us positive, saying, “Just wait, Iceland always delivers.” And he was right. Out of the darkness, the aurora began to dance, shifting and shimmering like something from a fairytale. I felt like the luckiest person in the world! This wasn’t just a tour; it was a life changing experience.

5.00Iceland already had me in love, but this tour sealed the deal. The anticipation, the cold, the excitement. It was all worth it when the lights finally appeared. Arni led us to a quiet spot, away from the crowds, and suddenly, green waves started moving across the sky. I had tears in my eyes. It was a dream come true! Thank you, Arni, for making this night so special.

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! Arnie our tour guide was fabulous and very experienced. We went to 4 different places and saw the lights at 3 of them. There were only 7 of us in total so felt like a private tour. The hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls were very welcome in the biting wind.
Cosy and personalised tour

5.00I had an incredible experience on the Northern Lights minibus tour. The small group setting made for a personalised adventure. Our guide, Jonas, was knowledgeable, shared fascinating facts about the aurora borealis. We were taken to a perfect viewing spot away from city lights which was great. Seeing the lights was truly unforgettable! I also appreciated the warm beverages and blankets provided, which added to the comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking to witness this natural wonder!
